What's up, Moly here. i'll start with Quest Gear items, then Donation, then proceed with END GAME Gears
To start off, you want to do the 1000 Chivalry Emblem Quest guide here: This will grand you Forsaken Knight set, which is useful to start with and will also give u +200 bonus stat, whenever u reset though you'll have to talk to the Forsaken King.
For the most part, even donation items are required to get quested from Ring, Accessories, and Armor
For Non-Donation/Quest Gear items
You would want to get Legendary Lord Knight Sword, 16540
Check the effects here
Guide here
Regarding the ring/cape, for Non-Donation, you would want to quest a Non Donation Bless Ring
Non Donation Cape requires different quest items, and does not require a donation cape.
Here's a complete guide(from starting to earning toks, to end game items in general) that you might wanna take the time to read :
In Summary:
Donation Gear: Would look something like this
You wanna get the basics Forsaken Armor, Cloak, Boots, Any Valk Expansion Headgear
Then for Accessories and Ring/Cape you would want Lokis Seal then any Lord Knight Donation Cape (Quest it for Bless Ring)
For Weapon you would want at least 2-3 Freyr’s Glimmering Blade
For End Game Items:
You'll just upgrade your Armor to a Lord Knight Dragonist Armor
Upgrade your Lokis Seal into either Bless or Curse Accessories
Get Rank 5 in Dragonist Armor ( you need fame via Dragonist Token or Dragonist Honor (tokenshop) ) and enchant books (str,vit,hp,dex,agi)
That's it
Hope it helps let me know in game if you need more assistance
Sincerely,
Moly
