So recently, I got to darkmoor. First run boots, second run hat, third run TWO ROBE OF MALISTAIRE IRE! Still working on Athame, Amulet and wand though. However, I wanted to know how long it took you to get the Amulet And Athame, or any other pieces of gear.
If you get really sick of it you can try farming Morganthe, she gives a better amulet and an equal/ better for some schools athame while only being one boss fight that is pretty easy for any team to do
For me I never got the darkmoore athame until my 3rd character got to darkmoore, and that involved farming heavily on both characters before hand
The wand is in an odd place as its purpose is pierce, making it less valuable if you are not piercing anything. That said its still good if you have no other alternatives as the critical and block are only rivaled by a few pack wands (fortune tellers gaze, eye of the soothsayer etc)
