Any AR for casters other than pants?

[mallory]

Hi-

I'm sorry if this is a really n00b question, but are there any other options for caster AR besides 'caster pants'? I know there aren't on the starter island, but I don't want to spend craft XP on some light AR templates if 'caster robes' or somesuch make an appearance on the mainland. (heh, I already got burned by buying the template for the melee staff when i wanted the Magic Amp )

Thanks,

Only the light pants. Those and caster pants have the same stats, they just look different.

Also, everything you see in your action progression screen is what is totally available, doesn't matter where you are.

for those of us who like to wear skirts. so nice of them to think of me and leave caster pants in game.

As a caster you need to be aware of your action penalty costs of your equipment. A typical mage would have 0 action penalty for max spell range / damage / Saps costs.

Only armour that has no action penalty cost is all light armour plans (caster pants being a robe alternative to the pants plan for a classic mage feeling).

So far the only weapon a mage can use without penalty is a magic amplithier staff, yet has the unique ability to boost spell casting aspects such as speed and amount healed/damaged for certain spell groups.
