First of all I would like to show you these stats when wearing a bunch of gear that I own, it’s a mix match but it’s probably close to what I would wear if I was tanking. Low on STR but very high in DEF as a tank needs to be able to take damage not deal damage although this set up with added VIT will not entirely be without damage attacks, with this set up you can still do some reasonable damage when using attacks like Dart, Pentaslam and Sonic Javelin. Here are my stats on this particular setup:
ATK 241 DEF 608 MAG 104 RES 85 STR 100 VIT 243 INT 104 SPR 65 AGI 107 DEX 115 To get such high DEF this is what I was wearing:

Warriors Fists+10 DEF 67 water attribute+4 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warlords Footgear+10 DEF 79 HP+192 INT+56 DEX+46

Knightlord Pants+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+12 HP+158 MP+16 VIT+56

Valiant Armor+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+4 HP+128 MP+14 VIT+35

Accessory: Bloody Chlamys RES 10 MP+15 VIT+4 AGI+4

Accessory:Colossal Ring DEF 1 STR+5 (not usually used, usually use the Godspeed Ring for an extra 5 AGI)

Weapon: Tsukuyomi+9 ATK 141 HP+56 STR+7 VIT+1

Shield: Royal Shield DEF 64 RES 10 HP+48 VIT+5 SPR+5

This is by no means a typical spear users set up, it’s just one I put together to show you how you can mix things up and as you can see it doesn’t have to be all GR 12 gear, the Valiant Armor is actually GR 11 armor.

Now this can all be switched around with other armor parts, you can up your STR when needed at the loss of some DEF and lets face it you can afford to lose over 100 on DEF in still be in good shape, it’s a matter of experimenting. Anyway I’ll get on with some armor sets with some typical stats used by most spear users.

The best VIT stats I can find on leg gear is the Knightlord Pants at +10 it gives a DEF 77 HP+158 and VIT+56 you won’t find higher than 56 so that is about the best.

Here is the stats for the Knightlord Fists at +9: DEF 77 water attribute +12 MP+9 INT+28 AGI+22 the AGI will double up at +10

Knightlord Boots at +6 is DEF 74 Earth attribute of +12 HP+96 SPR+27 DEX 23 double up on HP SPR and DEX at +10 Sorry but I don’t yet have the armor yet (top part) these sets can be really hard to get.

The next set with AGI is the Warriors set:

Warriors Fists at +10 DEF 67 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warriors Lorica+9 DEF 73 HP+88 MP+16 SPR+26 Sorry but I don’t have the other two parts, didn’t realize how much stuff I was missing.

Anyway if you see how this goes there is no one complete set that has just AGI or just DEX so you have no choice but to mix and match. I believe the way level 5 did this is so if you wear a whole set you will be evenly distributed, some of each stat, so if you need more AGI than STR you have to take certain parts from each armor set that has the requirements you want, this would be more ‘specialist’ type armor or customized which is probably better.

It seems because I mix and match so much I don’t have a full set of any GR 12 armor but really that’s how you have to use it. Another part of armor you will see many wearing is the Kukulkan armor, again I don’t have to top part but I do have the cuffs and they are at +10 here are the stats: DEF 54 RES 30 MP+72 VIT+24 AGI+42

Now again if you look at the Kukulkan Trousers+9 the stats seem almost the opposite, here they are:
DEF 62 RES 30 HP+64 MP+32 SPR+26

This is actually getting me down a bit because I have tons of armor but hardly any complete set, the GR 12 armor sets are pretty hard to get hold of, you really need to farm many mats for each piece, and that is apart from the coin prices you need to come up with.

An example of items needed to get just one item is lets say you just wanted the Kukulkan Shoes, you would need 1 swallowtail cocoon which isn’t so bad but you also need 40 Deviltails to bind it, don’t sound too bad either? I have never sold a Deviltail and i’ve been GR 15 for about 3 months so I should have tons right? No, I have only 20 and I know where to get them, that’s how rare some of these items are.

Now most if not all GR 12 armor sets will use items from GR 12 quests and if you notice throughout the game a GR 12 player isn’t usually strong enough to deal with GR 12 quests which is why you need 3 or 4 players so if you find yourself in my situation where there isn’t always players running the quests you need it can get pretty tough acquiring your items.

Well this post was supposed to be GR 12 armor sets for spear users but i’m not going to be able to give the best information at this stage, I didn’t realize this before I started writing so I will spend the next couple of weeks adding to this post as and when I gather more info. My apologies for the title but I will complete this topic eventually.

I would like to point out that being a spear user either Tank or Damage Dealer or both you should acquire 5 spears, 1 with each element added and one main one for physical attack. To be honest there isn’t too many quests where you even require a tank, maybe 3 or 4 quests. The rest are going to be elementals or something that has weaknesses which a team of 3 or 4 can cover quite easily if equipped correctly.

Ok sorry again for the lack of info here but it will be updated as we go along.
