Gear & Magic I Recommend for New Game+

There's a lot to collect in this game, but here are some of the best items as well as how to obtain them. I'll also provide some skills to focus on leveling as you're going through the game. I found these to work the best but am open to suggestions. Remember, all items and skill levels transfer over to New Game+, so it may be recommended to take some time to collect multiples of the gear you like to use.
