Here's My list...

Neck: Collar of Undead Protection (ac 5, +7 vs disease, +7 vs poison)
Face: Mask of Deception (ac 4, +13 cha, +7 vs magic, effect: illusion dark
elf)
Ear1: Gold Topaz Earing (ac 3, +8 vs disease)
Ear2: Gold Topaz Earing (ac 3, +8 vs disease)
Chest: Lambent BP (ac 20, +5 sta, +1 cha, +25 hp)
Arms: Lambent Sleeves (ac 11, +2 vs all resistances, +1 cha)
Wrist1: Lambent Bracer (ac 9, +4 str, +1 cha)
Wrist2: Symbol of Loyalty to Vox (ac 7, +7 vs cold)
Gloves: Lambent Gauntlets (ac 12, +5 dex, +1 cha)
Finger1: Platinum Emerald Ring (ac 4, +10 vs fire)
Finger2: Platinum Emerald Ring (ac 4, +10 vs fire)
Shoulder: Crested Spaulders (ac 11, +6 sta)
Back: Cloak of the Ice Bear (ac 8, +10 hp, +20 vs cold)
Legs: Lambent Greaves (ac 13, +5 agi, +1 cha)

Brazen Brass Kiliji (10 damage, 35 delay)
Ranged: Runed Bone Fork (5 damage, 29 delay, +10 vs magic, +10 vs Fire, +10
vs cold)
With this set up and Skin Like Diamond from my favorite Druid, I reach 808
ac. And I haven't maxed Defense yet either. I can increase that slightly by
subbing in Jagged Bands (an additional 2 ac)
I could also obtain some nicer ac items...
Thick Banded Belt (ac 8, +15 str) [lost a roll on this the other day. I
rolled 469 out of 500, the cleric rolled 483]
Mountain Death Belt (ac 8, +25 hp, 5 charges of skin like rock)
Lambent Bracer (ac 9, +4 str, +1 cha)
Hero Bracer (ac 9, +10 str, +5 vs disease, +5 vs poison)
Mithril Breastplate (ac 17, +15 agi, +30 hp) [I've been told that the +15
agi usually amounts to more ac than the Lambent BP has]
I think that all of the items on this list are obtainable by me. (I saw
someone trading Hero Bracers for a MM battle drum the other day. I should
have taken it, but I love my drum)

OK, I'm curious--what is your equipment list? I'm an
ac hound and I do have AC belt, rings and ears and I
won't be able to get to 800 ac (after my defense is
maxed).
