I currently run a group just getting into T9 without any donors, as a result min/maxing is extremely important. Especially as mobs become higher and higher in HPs etc. So what I am looking to make / input on is a list of items that can be obtained to empower your group that may not be your standard armor/weapon/spell upgrades that you get simply by progressing. Things that might take extra consideration to obtain but are well worth the effort to strengthen your group.
Simply put its hopefully a list of items that would be worth returning to prior tiers to obtain from a min/max perspective, even if it wasn't the current tier. I don't have a vast knowledge of T9 items yet so its hard for me to add any of those to this list.
Any input on things I may be missing and can add, or things that I list that may not be best for its given purpose would be appreciated. Going to list what items I have found to be valuable beyond their respective tiers and why I find them necessity. Will update list as I find/think of more things, or as people respond. Work in progress.
