Editing LotS/items/Best Items

This page collects the items that are generally regarded as 'Best in the Game'.  





==Premiums==
<span style="color:gold">'''Premiums'''</span> have a specific meaning and refer to the Officers, Crew, or Engineering that are offered on the front page for 150 GS roughly every 3 months.  The other items listed on this page are the <span style="color:red">'''Legendary'''</span> Officers, restoration Utilities, and the most useful and commonly used Tactics.

<span style="color:gold">'''Premiums'''</span> are the most powerful items in the game.  They are initially offered for sale on the front page for 150 GS for two weeks.  After that they are only available as 1% jackpot items in the Mystery Pack or Vaults.  For players with the best ships, these Premiums typically make up more than 60% of their ship power (e.g. 19k power out of 31k total ship power).  Additionally, their proc damage and mimic damage often contribute more than 50% of damage dealt.  For example, a gear item from the latest/most powerful vault has an Attack Value (AV) of 1,000 [[http://www.legacyofathousandsuns.com/forum/showthread.php?17247-Cost-analysis-of-Vaults-Dispensers]].  The AV of a premium ranges from 2k up to more than 9k (total of 43,500 AV for the first 9 premiums released).  The premiums are listed in the table below based on their AV as calculated in the forum post linked here. [[http://www.legacyofathousandsuns.com/forum/showthread.php?17703-Prem-Value-and-Accessibility]]

An item from a vault or New Item Pack will quickly become outdated due to power creep, but a premium's power is continually increased by acquiring more items within the game. To acquire an old premium at a 1% chance in a pack will typically cost about 3,500 Gold Suns, or approximately US$ 300.

==Legendary Officers==

The <span style="color:red">'''Legendary'''</span> officers are typically regarded as 'free' premiums that are reasonably available in the game with considerable time, effort and/or Golden Suns.  The two 'passive' officers, Admiral Kole and Memories of Illaria, are also included as they provide their boost even without being in the current ship.

==Equipment Sets==

Listed below are several free armor sets that are considered 'best items' since they deal substantial extra against their respective raid types.  GS sets are quite better, of course, so use them if you can.

==Restore Utilities==

The six <span style="color:red">'''Legendary'''</span> restoration utilities are considered the best utilities in the game. Squeelyspooch and Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain are obtainable via certain World Raids.

==Tactics==

The most commonly used tactics are Gorgon's Stare, Bull in a China Shop, Legacy Forge, and Stan's Undying Heroism (can be replaced by Master Wu's Gambit for alliance raids).  On 1-2 tactic slot small and personal raids, the most common tactic is Asymmetric Warfare. Deal in Death is still pretty rare and is an unknown quantity at this point but will be included nonetheless.
