Note that gear choices will always be somewhat subjective. I have done my best to provide the best gear choices available based on general consensus, what people traditionally choose to use, and direct stat lines. Also note that this post is concerned primarily with self-sustaining builds in which the wizard is looking to make their own character as powerful as possible, and does not cover more specialty setups for team play.

Considering Hats
All gear tends to evolve over different level tiers, but the general trend for hats currently is that they provide damage and critical, with a heavy emphasis on offensive stats. The best hats for wizards will also include armor piercing and pip chance.
(1) Kan Davasi Victor's Hood | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying
Although the stat gaps between the top options are somewhat small, Kan Davasi Victor's Hood is slightly superior, meaning Myth wizards will need to stop by Darkmoor for their best hat. The good news is that it's a one-stop shop for a lot of the best gear.
(2) Krokopatra Wonder Fez | Drops from: Krokopatra (Exalted)
If you're really not a fan of Malistaire, you can try your hand at the Exalted Krokopatra duel for the Krokopatra Wonder Fez. While the hat has decreased versions of many of the stats present on the Malistaire option, it's still a good choice for Myth wizards.
(3) Helmet of Kan Davasi Law | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Spirit of Darkmoor
If you're looking to stay competitive when it comes to gear, but aren't a fan of Malistaire, the Helmet of Kan Davasi Law is the hat for your Myth character. Unlike the previous two hats, the Helmet of Kan Davasi Law holds no stat values higher than any other options presented on the list, but its stats are still impressive and it's more widely available from other Darkmoor bosses.
(4) Majoris Cowl of Insight | Drops from: Rasputin (The Rat)
If none of the bosses so far work for you, Rasputin offers a more offensive-leaning hat with good stats for Myth wizards, include critical, piercing, and impressive damage. You may also be able to snag some other items while farming The Rat.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Helm of Desert Mirages > Helm of Unknown Tartarus > Darkmoor Barbut of Delusion
- For offense: Titan Warrior Helm of Logic > Hood of Lost Light
- Other: Rogue's Puzzling Cap
Best Myth Robes
(1) Kan Davasi Victor's Gear
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying |
>
|
(2) Bonesmasher Robe of Dreams
Drops from:
Rattlebones (Exalted) |
>
|
(3) Law of Kan Davasi Vestment
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Spirit of Darkmoor |
>
|
(4) Darkmoor Armor of Delusions
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Sir Blackwater, Others |
 |
>
|  |

|  |

|  |
Considering Robes
Robes tend to fluctuate and can lean either offensive or defensive, with the best robes providing a good mix of both. As this guide emphasized self-sufficient builds, we are looking for robes that can increase damage output while providing adequate defenses for enemies (and players) of increasing difficulty.
(1) Kan Davasi's Victor Gear | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying
Myth wizards will need to stop by Malistaire if they want their best possible robe. The stat increases for some of the items on the Rattlebones robe are slightly higher, but losing 6% accuracy and 2% power pip chance doesn't make up the difference for Myth. This is great if you're hoping to get all your gear in one spot.
(2) Bonesmasher Robe of Dreams | Drops from: Rattlebones (Exalted)
The Exalted Rattlebones duel used to be one of the tougher ones, but with Indemnity and adding in Ice Dispels, he has become one of the easier fights. The robe makes slight power pip and accuracy sacrifices for increases in health, damage, resistance, and critical, plus it comes with a card you might actually use.
(3) Law of Kan Davasi Vestment | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Spirit of Darkmoor
Like with the hats, this robe is in no way superior to either of the two options, but still a good robe for Myth wizards. What's great about these secondary pieces is that because they drop from two other bosses before Malistaire, you have a decent chance to snag one and furthermore could simply farm two bosses into the Upper Halls rather than all the way through The Graveyard.
(4) Darkmoor Armor of Delusions | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Sir Blackwater, Others
This robe is another opportunity for Myth wizards to stay competitive with pretty good stats, but avoid having to run The Graveyard and fight Malistaire the Undying. None of the stats are superior to the other Malistaire robes, but it's still a good choice.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Armor of Unknown Tartarus > Champion's Armor of Courage > Valiant Paladin's Armor
- For offense: Hades' Armor of Tartarus
- Other: Turquoise Eagle's Raiment
Best Myth Boots
(1) Kan Davasi Victor's Greaves
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying |
>
|
(2) Ancient Purrzian Galesh
Drops from:
Ghulture's Hoard Pack |
>
|
(3) Winter Solstice Snowboots
Drops from:
Winterland Pack |

(4) Law of Kan Davasi's Sabatons
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Spirit of Darkmoor |
 |
>
|  |

|  |
Considering Boots
Boots tend to focus more on defensive elements, with, often decent resistance and sometimes with impressive damage. Usually they include block, though more recent updates have provided options with critical. They tend to offer the lowest stats between hats, robes, and boots.
(1) Kan Davasi Victor's Greaves | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying
Those who are not fans of Darkmoor are out of luck on boots. The best pair comes from Malistaire, with the most impressive stat line and highest block chance, which has become increasingly important with critical block and decay.
(2) Ancient Purzzian Galesh | Drops from: Ghulture's Hoard Pack
These boots are powerful in a different way. It has over double the health of Kan Davasi Victor's Greaves, more resistance, and better damage and shadow pip chance. It does trade out the block, piercing, and accuracy for critical. Some Myth wizards may choose these simply for the different bonuses.
(3) Winter Solstice Snowboots | Drops from: Winterland Pack
Besides having impressive stats in general, the Winter Solstice Snowboots have a lot of surprising bonuses. With the damage divided up into universal and Myth, wizards can still get a great overall damage increase while also boosted damage from any off-school spells they may use. These boots give critical starting at the 110 tier and all tiers below give block instead.
(4) Law of Kan Davasi's Sabatons | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying, Shane von Shane, Spirit of Darkmoor
If the impressive health and damage on the Ancient Purzzian Galesh don't draw you in, the Law of Kan Davasi's Sabatons might be a good option for you. While certainly inferior to Kan Davasi Victor's Greaves, they offer decent stat lines that put them in the top three for boots.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Boots of Unknown Tartarus > Darkmoor Boots of Delusions > Rogue's Puzzling Striders
- For offense: Time Warden Galesh of Reason > Majoris Footgear of Insight > Titan Warrior Boots of Logic
- Other: Lucky Rogue's Striders

Considering Wands
Wands evolve a lot based on availability. As of recently, damage is king. It's one of the primary, reliable stats you want on your wands. Pierce, while still important, is not always used, unlike damage. Impressive may cast abilities and more are also included on the best wands. These should be a substantial source for critical and block where possible. Many of these wands come from packs and bundles.
(1) Eye of the Soothsayer | Drops from: Terror's Hoard Pack
This Terror's Hoard Pack wand is the top choice for Myth wizards with top-notch critical and block plus 11% damage bonus and 4% piercing. It also comes with a handy may cast ability and off-school wand hits. If you're after this wand, be sure to wait until level 110 to get the packs, as the level 100+ version offers power pip chance, a stat that is easily supplemented, instead of piercing.
(2) Road Legend Skull | Drops from: Road Warrior's Hoard Pack
With the Road Legend Skull, you get to keep your 10% damage and socket, but trade in 1% piercing for less than 1% worth of critical and block, making this inferior to the Eye of the Soothsayer, but still a good option for Myth wizards. The one bonus is the square socket, for which some Myth wizards may choose this wand to boost stun resistance or healing.
(3) Aquilan Secutor Lance | Drops from: Immortal's Lore Pack
Your damage drops to 8% here, but you also get a 2% piercing increase compared to the two top wands. It also offers the square socket and a Myth-based may cast ability, and is still a good option for Myth wizards.
(4) Fortune Teller's Peerless Eye | Drops from: Terror's Hoard Pack
While offering only 6% damage and 3% piercing, this wand is one of few that will provide the same top-notch critical and block. If you hit with off-school spells with a mastery amulet, this wand might be helpful as it offers universal damage.(5) Witch Hunter's Arbalest | Drops from: Witch Hunter's Bundle
For those who wish to focus purely on offense or are unable to get any of the previous wands, the Witch Hunter's Arbalest is a good option. It sacrifices the ever-important block, but offers the most impressive damage and noteworthy pierce in addition to good critical. It works well on more aggressive, glass-canon type setups, which can often works well for Myth.Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Seal Team Demolitions Hammer
- For critical: Shard Warrior's Hammer > Jack Hallow's Gourdtar
- For piercing: Staff of the Twisted Mind
- For damage: Baba Yaga's Legendary Mace > Majoris Fragment of Insight
- For universal stats: Snowdrifter's Staff > Dragoon's Rapier
- Other: Luphilim's Legend Sword
Best Myth Athames
(1) Dirk of Dimwood Vale
Drops from:
Yevgeny NightCreeper |
>
|
(2) Morganthe's Bite
Drops from:
Morganthe |
>
|
(3) Blade of the Felled Titan
Drops from:
Cronus |
>
|
(4) Elder's Deep-Desert Athame
Recipe from:
Wozina the Edgecutter |
 |
>
|  |
>
|  |

|  |
Considering Athames
Athames have become incredible offense pieces, often offering as many stats as a robe and close to as much damage. They provide sockets, which allow for tacking on extra stats, namely health and school-specific armor piercing. The triangle slot is sometimes used to fill the gaps on other stats, or for cards including may cast abilities.
(1) Dirk of Dimwood Vale | Drops from: Yevgeny NightCreeper
Even if you're not a fan of Darkmoor, this one isn't too bad to farm. Yevgeny NightCreeper is the first boss in The Graveyard. The Dirk of Dimwood Vale gives universal damage, superior block, accuracy, and more that makes it the top choice for Myth wizards.
(2) Morganthe's Bite | Drops from: Morganthe
This athame trades is universal damage for 1% higher Myth damage. Myth wizards who do any healing may choose to invest in this athame because it offers 21% outgoing healing bonus (those who don't heal, on the other hand, will benefit far more from the other).
(3) Blade of the Felled Titan | Drops from: Cronus
This athame from Cronus gives you an opportunity to change up your farming locations. It offers comparable damage but sacrifices a few nice stats, including one circle socket, which essentially amounts to 6% piercing.
(4) Elder's Deep-Desert Athame | Recipe from: Wozina the Edgecutter
If you're not into farming, you can rejoice at the fact that this athame, while sacrificing some damage, offers a little bonus piercing and decent stats for Storm wizards. While this will typically be more of a specialty athame, it's a surprisingly viable option for crafted gear.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. You should know that from here on out, athames go down hill pretty quickly, but if you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Dagger of Bent Reality > Blade of Kan Davasi
- For damage: Aphrodite's Barb of Vexing > Rezzon's Steel of Sagacity
- For healing: Cosmic Kris > Wolf's Emerald Talon
- Other: King Alric's Royal Athame
Best Myth Amulets
(1) Relic of the Shadow Palace
Drops from:
Morganthe |

|
(2) Amulet of Divine Influence
Drops from:
Hades the Unseen |
>
|
(3) Universal Memento
Drops from:

(4) Kan Davasi Medallion
Drops from:
Malistaire the Undying, Howling Chaney, Sir Blackwater |

Considering Amulets
Amulets used to be purely card sources, and that's still an important aspect. but new amulets may offer critical, block, piercing, resistance, and health. They also have sockets that allow for more stat additions than ever.
(1) Relic of the Shadow Palace | Drops from: Morganthe
Morganthe, despite now being two worlds back, remains to be a good source for rings and athames, but she tops the chart with her amulets. These amulets offer two item card versions of school blades that stack with others, making these really spectacular for regular play already. While its stats are in some ways inferior to the Amulet of Divine Influence, it's much easier to get and the cards push it over the top.
(2) Amulet of Divine Influence | Drops from: Hades the Unseen
One of the most elusive and desired items in the game, the Amulet of Divine Influence is a powerful choice in terms of stats. Notable differences are trading in one tear socket for a square one and a less useful card.
(3) Universal Memento | Drops from: Shane von Shane
This amulet doesn't look quite as fancy as the one from Hades, but you're really only sacrificing the block. You get two cards you might actually use - an offensive aura for regular play and Shadow Shields for certain bosses (like the Shaddowwock's massive shadow meteor). It drops from Shane von Shane in the Upper Halls, meaning you can safely avoid The Graveyard.
(4) Kan Davasi Medallion | Drops from: Malistaire the Undying, Howling Chaney, Sir Blackwater
In terms of Darkmoor farming, this amulet is about as easy as it gets. All it requires is fighting the first boss of the first dungeon. Plus, you could end up picking it up elsewhere. It's a good option with the same sockets and slightly decreased stats, with only the block missing.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:
- For damage: Vial of the Hall of Echoes
- For cards: Djinn Amulet of Dreams > Sand Sea Charm of Mischief > Strength of the Oak Pendant
- For resistance: Yolok's Ampul of Observation > Arcanum Exile Idea Bauble > Warlord Minak's Medallion
- Other: ToeBiter's Cursed Relic > Shango's Mythblade Amulet > Rebus Medallion
Best Myth Rings
(1) Law of Kan Davasi Band
Drops from:
Aphrodite II |

(2) Alpha and Omega Ring
Drops from:
Gladiator Dimachaerus |
>

(3) Signet of the Tyrant
Drops from:

>
|
(4) Band of Exultance
Drops from:
Bunferatu |
 |
>
|  |
>
|  |
>
|  |
Considering Rings
Rings are similar to athames but with slightly less emphasis on offense, often offering more block and not typically offering a second circle socket like the athames. They often offer a slightly higher health value and strong power pip chance.
(1) Law of Kan Davasi Band | Drops from: Aphrodite II
For this one, you'll want to stop by a new farming spot: Aphrodite II. Easily one of the most nasty bosses around, Aphrodite has a variety of cheats that can make farming a royal pain. However, after each fight, you're guaranteed one drop that you can use. Plus, this ring isn't the only gem there. There's lots of good energy gear, too.
(2) Alpha and Omega Ring | Drops from: Gladiator Dimachaerus
A reliable choice for wizards of different schools, the Alpha and Omega ring is dropped by a repeatable battle within Mount Olympus, which means you'll need the Aquila zones if you're interested. It may allow you, however, to change up your farming location and still have some nice loot to show for it.
(3) Signet of the Tyrant | Drops from: Blighted Yaxche, Cipactli, Tartarus Bosses
It's really interesting here how far we drop back in level to this ring, but its damage in combination with the sockets it offers and other stats make it a ring at the forefront of options for Myth wizards. You may be able to pick it up when farming for an Amulet of Divine Influence in Tartarus or from Blighted Yaxche or Cipactli.
(4) Band of Exultance | Drops from: Bunferatu
One of the tougher items to obtain, this one will require plenty of farming (two bosses before gaining access to Bunferatu). Bunferatu is also a very unforgiving boss, with minions that like to Beguile. That said, he does drop the fourth best ring for Myth wizards.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:- For stats: Signet of the Shadow Queen > DarkSide's Nightmare Band > Gargoyle's Circle
- For healing: Seal of the Fifth Column > Ring of the Dying Star > Storm Caiman's Tailbiter Ring
- For self-healing: Stellar Signet > Ring of the Hunting Wolf
- For critical: Tetrus Ring of Rumination > Perun's Seal of Edification > Luphilim's Legend Ring
- Other: Fatesailor's Signet

Considering Decks
Decks have just recently started providing stats, and more socket options to fill in missing stats. The best decks provide an additional starting pip that can totally transform strategies and make x-round kills a possibility where they were not previously. Most top decks offer health, critical, and block. As trends for small decks increase, the importance on having so many copies available has decreased.
(1) Luphilim's Legend Cards | Drops from: Omen Stribog
Superior in almost every way to other decks, Omen's is a great choice for Myth wizards, offering great health, block, and critical bonuses plus the starting pip.
(2) Luphilim's Eternal Deck |cl Drops from: Omen Stribog
Omen's general deck is the next boss option, offering solid stat lines including the critical, block, health, and starting pip. Both Omen decks offer what is considered to be the best jewel for decks: a triangle socket.
(3) Case of Arcanum Exile Ideas (Others) | Drops from: Rasputin (The Rat)
This includes the Arcanum Exile Snowflake Set, Horizon Hold Cards of Intent, and Rasputin's Hypnotic Hand. All three decks provide the same stat line, but they each provide a different jewel socket: either a triangle, tear, or square. Myth wizards may choose these decks for various jewel options.
(4) Ancient Deck of Horizon Hold (Others) | Drops from: Rasputin (The Rat)
This includes the Ancient Deck of Horizon Hold, Chief Advisor's Pack of Lies, and Parcel of the Arcanum Exile. All three decks again provide the same stat line, but they each provide a different jewel socket: either a triangle, tear, or square.
(5) Patriote Set of Victory | Drops from: Baba Yaga
This deck from Baba Yaga continue to provide the important starting pip with the other critical stats offered by superior decks, even though it requires only level 105.
Other Options
Sometimes the top-notch stuff just isn't working out for you and you need something else. If you're still looking for an alternative, I recommend the following:
- For a starting pip: Tetrus Prison Deck > Eerem Gallery of Ciphers > Eerem Spread of Discovery
- For stats: Istanboa Array of Enigmas > Hand of Kobra Acumen > Array of Mighty Istanboa
- For damage: Barbed Case of Stratagem
