This item was dropped last night by Helsia Mindreaver also.

Guys, this is for the Giant's Bane quest. It's a ****** item for actually wearing.

Of course once you hit 200 wis or int and start putting mana gear into your slots think about this. most spells 40+ use a fair amount of mana. So you put say 400-500 points of mana gear on and you have ooooh, say one maybe two more spells to cast. *shrug* For my slots i will put resist gear in, thanks.

The reason that many of the high level items are giving mana instead of wis or int is because once you hit your max in the stat you use, the next logical thing is to start cramming all your int and wis boosters into the least possible slots while obtaining mana items to gain the maximum spell casting ability you can get. Say an erudite wiz, with a starting int of 142 at lvl 60 with a 25int robe, 25int epic weapon, and a stein if mogguk is now at 202 int. Now going above 200 only gives 1 mana per int or wis, but it also largely reduces your resists when you cast on mobs. So lets say he keeps his velium sapphire necklace and a couple of other int items to hit 225 int. Then he has all his other slots to fill up with items that produce mana. This way he gets the lowest resists from casting due to his high int and gets all the free mana from the mana-based items he is now getting. Sorry to babble like this, but I thought people would want to know the reason behind why there are more mana producing items than stat raisers at higher lvls

Isnt there a player made necklace thats 55 mana 55 hp? This item seems a bit dissapointing for the lvl it says to obtain it.

as a caster wether Int or Wis based the primary concern I have is Int or Wis then MANA then other stats... after about level 10 most casters could care less about other attributes.. you purpose is casting spells and str, sta agi etc do not help in that...

Reason it adds mana is because as you said, its maxed out, and odds are you arent EXACTLY on, you can have more wis, it just wont show up, so say you have 210 wis, take away a 10 wis item, you still have 200 wis +50 mana, these added mana items let you get JUST over the max.

Why does it seem like all the hard to get items all have +mana instead of just +int or +wis. It just doesn't make sense. I mean yeah .. if your maxxed out Int or Wis you can add more mana, but at this point you will probably want to trade for another item to boost another stat in that slot.
