[[Shadow Gear]] is a great bonus to your power and can also provide additional benefits. [[Beginners_Guide#Shadow_Gear|Starting out]], you should get the Beginner Shadow Gear from Lucy at Eden. Once you reach level 100, you should work on getting the Advanced Paradise Shadow Gear. The Advanced Paradise Shadow gear will give great benefits early on including ignoring 50% def/mdef pierce.

However, more powerful [[Shadow Gear]] and [[Shadow Enchanting|Shadow Gear Enchants]] are available in the main office basement. For these, you can either go for a mix of Blue Shadow Gear or the Master Shadow Gear

The [[Shadow_Gear#Master_Shadow_Gear|Master Shadow Gear]] is a slightly weaker but easier option than the blue shadow gear. The Master Shadow gear provides both 100% DEF/MDEF penetration and 20% RES/MRES penetration. As such, it is a flexible shadow set that can be used on both physical and magical classes. However, the [[Shadow_Enchanting#Master_Shadow_Gear_Enchanting|enchants on the Master Shadow gear]] give bonuses for specific skills e.g. {{#item:312241}}, so with the enchants it is the most build specific shadow gear. Additionally, the enchants on the Shadow Gear, while pricey, are specific and won't require RNG. Master Shadow Gear is a great option even though it is a little bit weaker as it is cheaper and easier to enchant.  
The [[Shadow_Gear#Master_Shadow_Gear|Master Shadow Gear]] is a slightly weaker but easier option than the mixed shadow gear. The Master Shadow gear provides both 100% DEF/MDEF penetration and 20% RES/MRES penetration. As such, it is a flexible shadow set that can be used on both physical and magical classes. However, the [[Shadow_Enchanting#Master_Shadow_Gear_Enchanting|enchants on the Master Shadow gear]] give bonuses for specific skills e.g. {{#item:312241}}, so with the enchants it is the most build specific shadow gear.

Master Shadow Gear is a great option even though it is a little bit weaker as it is cheaper and easier to enchant.  


Mixed Blue Shadow Gear is the strongest option and provides a lot of flexibility for magic classes. Blue Shadow Gear refers to the various kinds of Blue Colored Shadow Gear that are available. These Shadow Gears can provide additional bonuses like permanent {{#skill:8}} status with the Lord Bearer's Combo {{#item:24764}}. Unlike Master Shadow Gear, you can mix and match different Blue Shadow Gear but do note that they still have their own combos. Blue Shadow Gear is more expensive as their [[Shadow_Enchanting#New_Sets|enchants require RNG]]. However, due to their enchants not being skill-specific, they can be used for all your magic damage classes.

As mentioned before, your Blue Shadow Gear can be mixed, so one combo you could possibly use is: {{#item:24667}}, {{#item:24666}}, {{#item:24736}}, {{#item:24737}}, {{#item:24677}}, and {{#item:24678}}! But please review the different options, and see what would benefit you the most. Spell Caster, for example, provides a lot of VCT that your build may need.
