Arcanist Gear Guide

Arcanists are one of the easiest classes to understand, since their damage scales almost purely off of INT. For Arcanist, you'll prioritize 100% DCT > INT > Attack% > everything else.

Arcanist's spell damage comes mostly from raw INT rather than from attack rating, since Staff attack rating scales off STR.

Level 1

While all of these are items you can equip at level 1, many of them will not be feasibly obtainable until level 150+. If you're gearing your first character, please check back as you progress, but don't worry about getting these early on.

Level 120

At level 120 you have some optional choices. The Nanemvis Set will give you more survivability and DCT as well as damage. You can also choose to upgrade to the Bloody or Vampire Staff, with the latter providing a huge boost in damage.

• (Optional) Bloody Staff from Red Meteonyker

Level 80-M

If you didn't pick up a Bloody Staff and opted out of the Vampire Staff, the Lusaka's Crystal Staff is a much cheaper option.

If you still don't have a staff, the Ancient Staff is a great pickup for the Hero Dungeons, but it's a luxury upgrade over Lusaka's Crystal Staff.

Level 130-H

At level 130, you have two sets to pick from. Ultimately, the difference in damage between the Lippin Set and the Altered Mystic Lippin Set is fairly small, so you can opt for whichever set is cheaper to complete.
