No, not time geared, nor elemental flagged. I just work hard on gear for a non-raider.

That's some NICE gear for a "non-raider"... I'd say it's better than what some "raiders" might have. Well at least it's a good confidence builder to know that you don't have to be Elemental+ to fight in the deep GoD and OoW zones...

Although I am curious as to how well you perform there... Are you usually the MT? What sort of gear did you have before the GoD/OoW upgrades... kinda hard to imagine you taking down Greig in a group before the lvl caps were raised.

Got a quick qeastion? erudite mage expert armor, what is it called and what is the main aug called?

Expert's Moonsilver XXXXXX

The augment is based on your deity. It will be like Expert's Chest Symbol of XXXXX. For example, the Agnostic version is Expert's Chest Symbol of the Skeptic. Search for Expert's Chest Symbol on the main site and you'll see them all. You can then look for your own deity to see what your version is called.

[Leafbiter]

to be able to make the GM armor/symbols you also need to be lvl 70, regardless of skill and despite the fact that you can wear it at 65!!
(cant get tasks for it to get patterns etc till 70)

You can make the GM armor at any level AFAIK. And you can get the task at 65, not 70.

Only real problem is that the metallic drake scales only seem to drop in level 68+ instances

Heh. Yeah. That's changed since he posted the level 70 bit. When DoN was released in Feb, you have to be 70. Now, just 65. And yes, you can make the armor at any level assuming you get the components and succeed on the subcombines. The augments require the task.

[emmick]

Does any one know what aug for expert armor for , erudite mage ( Quillous Diety) ?

Guess it was too hard for you to do the search that I gave you explicit instructions for...so:

hehe, sorry, is anyone here on the rathe server? wanted to know because nobody in my server makes the expert armor, only the grandmaster stuff?

[Kulyen]

You can also buy augs that fit in slots 9 + 12 at the DoN camps I believe.

[grosbras]

type 12 aug....

I am in a raiding guild. I have COA gear (ok only tacvi BP)... I made (a long time ago) a GM ogre BP with the GM symbol .... only reason I took the tacvi one was for spell shield (not sure the slight increase in AC/HP was worth it)... If you have seen the new slot 12 aug (OK it seems hells to farm most of the component and the last one has dropped in a raid zone (I bought it just for the TS flag)... but if you read this you are a TS master ... and so a bit of farming will not made you afraid. IMO as a high end BP the GM cultural one is much better than the COA one (at least for hybrid like me)... the main reason are a) better stats (sig ok you need a GM symbol.... and the slot 12 aug from the bazu stone) and b) you can choose your focus/def effect ... believe me to have a healing focus on my BP is not my choice
I think last time I checked I has not less than 3 magic/drain focus (again not reawlly my choice) and I had to buy a don augment to get a man reduction focus (believe me by far my WORST augment... but I need it in many difficult fight like pink emperor or in xp group).

I disagree greatly.

All GM pieces with Last Blood aug are better or CAN be better than CoA, EXCEPT the BP.

Reason is that CoA BPs have clicks and effects that you won't normally have with the new Last Blood augs.

[Qaladar Bragollach]

You can always swap the BP in for clicks and effects.

Well that depends on the effect, but at least some classes can.
