got it around level 25 and it's never left.

if you mean other high level items that are not the standard ones you
listed, runed lava pendant, hooded black cloak, diamondine earrings, crown
of king tranix, and mithril arms and legs spring to mind.

that's perfect, you want right around 100, and with song you want to be as
close to 200 without going over. 200+ is buggy.

the froglok crown you want will get you a quick +20.
> Ears: Opalline Earings (ac 2, +5 cha)
good, unless you want a diamondine.
> Neck: Serpent Insignia Collar (+5 vs all reisistances)
runed lava pendant, or even a cheesy splitpaw necklace (AC2, +5CHA bards
need both of those) and use the serpent collar for dragons. or just for the
ac a mithril torque from tranix (common drop).
> Face: Mask of Deception (ac 4, +7 vs magic, +13 cha)
perfect
> Head: Skull Shaped Barbute (ac 13, +10 vs magic, +35 hp)
bad if wood elf, good otherwise (for looks hehe).
> Fingers: Jagged Bands (ac 5, +3 str) or (Plat Peridot or
> Emerald rings ac 4,
> +10 vs cold or fire)
jagged bands are good, or get 2 plat fire emerald rings 5ac 55hp each.
> Hands: Lambent Gauntlets (ac 12, +5 dex, +1 cha)
very good.
> Wrist 1: Lambent Bracer (ac 9, +4 str, +1 cha)
very good.
> Wrist 2: Silver Plated Bracer (ac 7, +5 vs Poison, +5 vs
> Disease) or Symbol
> of Loyalty to Vox (ac 7, +7 vs cold)
another lambent would be nice.
> Arms: Lambent Vambraces (ac 12, +2 vs all resistances, +1 cha)
very good, or mithril if they come along.
> Shoulders: Bloodstained Mantle (ac 6, +3 str, +10 vs magic) or Crested
> Spaulders (ac 9, +5 sta)
definitely crested spaulders or carnal pauldrons. crested are actually
ac11.
> Back: Cloak of the Icebear (ac 8, +15 hp, +20 vs cold)
can go with lizardscale or white wolf-hide. i have white-wolf hide but i
was actually thinking of going icebear for the extra ac and hp.
> Chest: Lambent Breast Plate (ac 20, +5 sta, +25 hp, +1 cha)
perfect.
> Legs: Lambent Greaves (ac 13, +5 agi, +1 cha) or Shin Greaves
> (ac 10, +5 vs
> disease)
perfect, or mithril if they come along.
> Feet: Lambent Boots (ac 12, +2 vs all resistances, +1 cha)
perfect.
> Melee Weapons: Sivery War Axe (dam 6, delay 22), Enameled
> Black Mace (dam 8,
> delay 28), Dragoon Dirk (dam 6, delay 23, +3 vs magic, +2

> Shard (dam 6, delay 25, effect: Obsidian Shatter)
best you can do until you get the ebw or yaks.
> Instruments: Mistmore Battledrums, Mandolin, Minotaur Horn, Brass Horn
best you can do for now.
> Ranged: Runed Bone Fork (dam 5, delay 29, +10 vs fire, +10 vs
