The ‘Crucible Set’ enhances aspects of the Crucible incantation by roughly 2% per item, totaling about 8% with the full set. The ‘Incantation Scarab’ reduces FP cost of incantations by 15% but reduces damage negation; it stacks with FP Talismans. The ‘Glintstone Scarab’ works similarly for sorceries. The ‘Azur’s Glintstone Crown’ increases Comet sorcery damage by 10-15% but raises FP costs by 15%. The ‘Lusat’s Glintstone Crown’ boosts Stars of Ruin by 15% and other spells by 10%, also increasing FP costs. These enhancements are particularly useful in boss fights and PVP situations.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various items and their effects in the game. Key points include the Envoy Crown and horns, which increase bubble damage by 15%, and their stacking with the Alexander Shard. The jaw item increases damage done by cracked and ritual pots by 15%, although pots are not favored in the game due to the need for crafting. The Royal Remains armor set offers health regeneration when health drops below 15%, stacking up to 8 HP per second with all pieces equipped, but its practical use is limited as players are likely to die at such low health. The Crimson Tear Scarab increases the healing from Crimson flasks by 10% at the cost of damage negation, recommended for situational use after combat. Similarly, the Cerulean Tear Scarab boosts Cerulean flask recovery but is suggested for use only when out of combat.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses various armor sets in the game and their unique benefits and downsides. One highlighted set offers a complete health regeneration build with decent magic negation but poor physical damage reduction. Another set, Guardian GB, boosts the healing rate of the Crimson Tears flask by 1.5% but has negative fire resistance. It is suitable in non-fire areas and stacks with other boosting items.
Furthermore, the White Mask increases damage by 10% for 20 seconds after inflicting blood loss on an enemy, making it effective for blade builds. The Black Dumpling provides a 10% damage boost for 60 seconds after being inflicted with Madness, but due to the drawback of Madness, it is not recommended unless it offered a higher damage increase. Lastly, the Mushroom Crown increases damage by 10% for 20 seconds after inflicting poison or Scarlet rot, making it ideal for poison-based builds despite its unattractive appearance.

The Raptor’s Black Feathers enhance jumping attack damage by 10% and can be stacked with the Claw Talisman, making it a top chest piece.
The segment also covers helmets that boost stats. The Carian Glintstone Crown grants +3 Intelligence at the cost of 9% stamina, while the Olivinus Glintstone Crown offers +3 Intelligence for a slight HP reduction. The Lazuli Glintstone Crown gives +3 Intelligence and Dexterity but reduces HP more significantly. The Witch’s Glintstone Crown provides +3 Intelligence and Arcane with reduced stamina.

Specific examples include the Crimson Hood (+1 to Vigor) and the Navy Hood (+1 to Mind). The speaker also notes that certain armor sets, like the Commoner’s Garb, universally add +1 to Faith. Moving on to miscellaneous items, the Pumpkin Head reduces incoming damage to the head, making it a viable option for both PvP and PvE. The Duelist Helm and Roddu Helm attract enemy aggro, which can be strategically useful. Additionally, the Black Knife Armor makes the wearer’s footsteps quiet, aiding in stealth builds. However, its altered version does not offer the same benefit.
