I made this because not everyone knows what gear too keep an eye out for during a run

Armor

For speed the best armor is the Evo robe, this armor is the best because it has speed built into it as well as cooldown. You can also get lucky and get an Archer’s armor from creeper wood which gives moves speed and more bow damage. For armor that will help you stay alive you can go with Mercenary armor/Scale mail. This armor is great at combat because it has extra damage and damage reduction. However, if all you want to do is not die you can pick up Stalwart armor from fiery forge. The stalwart armor has damage reduction as well as a chance to negate hits, but the armor does give you a much longer roll cd.

Enchants

The best speed enchant by far is Swiftfoot, this enchant faster than using a boot + deathcap so keep an eye out for this enchant. The next best are Cooldown, Rush and Speed Syn in that order. Most other armor enchants are not worth getting and would get more value putting your points into your weapons.

Weapons

Weapons are not as set in stone as armor, the power level of the item is more important than what weapon you have. For bows the best is the Scatter bows that you can get in highblock halls. But you can also get some good Shortbows in desert temple. High level Trickbows are very good with some enchantments as well.

For melee weapons the Glave and Tempest knife have been used for their high damage and range but there are many weapons that can be used that can be found from the merchant you unlock in creeper woods.

Enchants

For bows look for Accelerate for the highest dps, but can also use things such as Growing, Multishot, Poison cloud or Fuse shot. For melee there is a bunch to pick from, you can get Enigma resonator to give crits you your soul knife. Echo makes your weapon attack 2 times and Smite will melt the desert temple boss. Power and Sharpness on bows and melee are also good enchants for every fight. There are a bunch of weapon enchantments that will give you good results so in the end you might have to mess around with them. I also think Looting is one of the best for a chance to spawn 2x dmg pots.

Artifacts

The big ones are Boots and Deathcap that can both be found in creeper woods. Boots are also found in desert temple and Deathcap is also in highblock halls. Boot is the fastest artifact that can be used infinite at 2 boots and 1 cooldown. Deathcap gives slight move speed but a bunch of melee attack speed. Torment quiver is a great bow artifact that makes the highblock halls fight a joke, but you must get souls for it and works wonders with multishot and bonus shot builds. Feather can be used to skip ambushes in the last level and activate swiftfoot as well as just making you slightly faster when used.

This should get anyone started with what to use, but this is not everything and there are some good combos with some items in some situations.
