on Cwest prices..... Complete8>Crimson8>Complete7>Crimson7. If your not doing paper , then I'd buy Complete7s till u can piece some crimson/complete8s together as you lvl.

curious to know what rings u gonna use. BF rings all the way.

I say Oasis+8 for versitality in pk zones but since this is ur only mage and u intend on 70+.. gogo cursed staff for the ap.

earrings..... i still wear +10hp ones xD i never buy gg ones these days.. For complete build with the amount of INT for resists, u could probably just buy Agates. Clerics are about same price on cwest if u want more resistances. I get best HP ones I could depending on your stats into HP. But earrings are always the last thing I worry about.

ep+1 at least for complete build.....but shoot for the ep+2, way sexier. Sometimes though I use lyacon+3 if I have no Ep/IN in my inn.

I use skelly cuz im too cheap to upgrade. i think its fine.

I'd really consider paper DS build at 70+ or just paper HP build. Paper armors are hella cheap leaves u more to spend on staff/necklace. I currently use the paper DS build and I love it for the tankage. You have to get used to switching shield out for staff and talias alot.
