good magical items for warmage

[Shades of Eternity]

I'm basicaly playing a 3rd human warmage and am trying to figure out which magic items to take.

I'm also trying to figure out which magic items to keep an eye out and/or purchase at a later date.

I am going for a dedicated straight class blaster.

any ideas?

Cloak of Charisma and Headband of Intellect will be the start set and maybe upgraded later. As you need cloak of Charisma, buy Vest of Resistance (in Complete Arcane) instead of Cloak of Resistance.

Then, various metamagic rods are quilte useful. Enpower and Maximize are the most popular ones.

You will iventually get Armored Mage (medium) abiity. So buying mithral or dragoncraft full-plate is not a bad idea.

Eternal Wands are good, they allow anyone who cast arcane spells to use them, so they are a good way to get access to lower level spells that don't appear on your class list. Spells like Mirror Image can really be a lifesaver for a Warmage.

It's a bit far down the road, but Rings of Wizardry are amazing once you can afford to get them.
