    I lost a posting from a fire mage with 400 attunement from shadow people guild and was hoping a fire mage could help break down all of the equipment needed?

    I have:
    Armor pieces +10 each do +40 total? ( helm, chest, gloves, leggings)
    Wand of fire arty +10
    Warlock chain +10
    Ring of fire arty +20
    Vexlyn spark +30

    Extra. Shrine of sorcery +15

    what else is there?

    There's two different fire wand artifacts and wands can be enchanted with attunement.

    There may also be food.

    From a pure attunement standpoint:

    The max attunement gear in the only slots that take attunement should be:
    Chest - 10 from any chest with a Sorcery Gem
    Necklace - 10 (warlock chain uncommon through legendary, 15 for an epic) + 5 (sorcery jewel).
    Ring 1 - 25 (epic ring of fire) + 5 (sorcery jewel)
    Ring 2 - 25 (epic ring of fire) + 5 (sorcery jewel)
    Right Hand - 25 (vex wand) + 10 (sorcery gem) + 17 (about, from an attunement enchant)
    Left Hand - 25 (vex wand) + 10 (sorcery gem) + 17 (about, from an attunement enchant)
    Alternate Left Hand - 40 (epic vex spark) + 10 (sorcery gem) + 17 (about, from an attunement enchant)
    (I don't recall how the attunement scales on a vex wand, if at all)

    Best food stack is:
    Food 1 - 5 (Bass with Peppers, 1 slot)
    Food 2 - 10 (Cracklin Cornbread, 2 slots)
    Food 3 - 15 (Scorched Mosasaurus 3 slots)

    Other sources are (for most mages):
    Shrine of Sorcery - 15
    Immolation Buff - 15 to 35
    Fire Spec - 16 - 28
    Average of top ten fire skills - 80-160

    All that gives upper end totals of:
    Gear - 174 (wands) or 199 (vex spark)
    Foods - 30
    Other - 238

    Total - 462 (wands) or 487 (vex spark)

    To get those high numbers is a ton of expense and effort. Epic warlock for another 5 attunement, pushing spec into the 130's and 140's, immolation to the 160's or 170's, attunement skills to the 150's and 160's. 35 is also a bit of a guess at the upper end attunement for a 6 stack immolation buff. I don't have it at a super high level, and no 6th card.

    Hopefully that's not discouraging, those are insane end game numbers that hopefully show where the attunement gets most expensive. An epic warlock chain for instance is a huge investment for minor attunement, easily skipped for now. But foods are increasingly cheap and plentiful, good way to pick up an extra 15 or 30 points. Daemon Tea is also an 8 attunement 3 slot fire food, and cheaper than scorched mosasaurus, maybe a better every day type meal.

    Can you do that? I could swear I wasn't able to wear two attunement rings. Air and not Fire, but same idea.

    Yupyup, all the attunement rings can double-stack.

    The second ring always has to be dragged to the second slot though, it will always override the first ring if it's just dragged to the character.

    Ah, maybe that's the issue. I might have tried to equip two instead of dragging. And knowing that some can't be double stacked, I probably figured that was what was happening.

    Yes it does, even the Water Warding skill would count towards the top 10, it's the top 10 of any skill/spell/innate in the tree!

    I would think so, but I'm just guessing.
