General Equipment Tips
Armour – Helmet, shirt, pants and shoes are an important account contributor but there are plenty of Idleon account gains available from different World mechanics so I recommend skipping most armour types. You should eventually make every armour set for the Equipment Set bonuses in World 3 but this approach saves resources initially and simplifies your Idleon goals.
Weapons & Tools – These have the largest impact on fighting and skilling gains and should always be upgraded to the best option available including best current upgrade stones.
Trophies & Nametags – There is a World 7 mechanic (Gallery) that makes all trophies and nametags shared on your characters so save any that you find until then. These items primarily come from achievements and events so equip whatever you have available with the best stats.
Capes – Capes are available from paid purchases, events or drop from the world bosses. Most of them are weak until later worlds so equip whatever options you have available.
Early Game Equipment
This is my recommended best equipment for the early game (approximately World 1 to World 3). Use upgrade stones on equipment and move equipment around so it optimises for a character accuracy stat (e.g. WIS for warrior accuracy). For information on skilling gear refer to our specific mining, chopping, fishing and catching guides.
| Equipment Slot | Item (Source) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet |  Gold Helmet (Anvil) |
The Amarok Helmet is expensive so skip it |
| Shirt |  Amarok Bodyplate (Anvil) |
|
| Pants |  Amarok Hinds (Anvil) |
|
| Shoes |  Amarok Paws (Anvil) |
|
| Pendant |  Sleek Shank (Anvil) |
Gives weapon power to help progression. Can also use Carrot Horror, Tarantulight or Cedar Pendant for accuracy. |
| Rings |  Rex Ring (Party Dungeon) |
Small amount of stat these can be later upgraded to Serrated Rex Ring for skilling. They are easy to obtain and efficient. |
| Cape | Any | Equip any paid/event capes you have. |
| Keychain |  Any (Party Dungeon) |
Equip any keychains you have from Party Dungeons focusing on stat or accuracy. |
| Upgrade Stone |    Armor Upgrade Stone II (World 2 Shop) |
Wait until you reach World 2 to use upgrade stones on the above equipment as they are slightly stronger. |
Mid Game Equipment
This is my recommended best equipment for the mid game (approximately World 4 to World 7). World 4 upgrade stones onwards will guarantee main stat but accuracy should no longer be an issue so use upgrade stones on the character that will wear the piece of equipment for better main stat to boost damage.
| Equipment Slot | Item (Source) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet |  Skulled Helmet of the Divine (Anvil) |
Troll armour (helmet, shirt, pants and shoes) should be your first upgrade from Amarok and then can be upgraded to Magma and then Kattlekruk when possible. |
| Shirt |  Serrated Chest of the Divine (Anvil) |
|
| Pants |  Spiked Leggings of the Divine (Anvil) |
|
| Shoes |  Devious Slippers of the Divine (Anvil) |
|
| Pendant |  The Divine Scarf (Anvil) |
Use either the Chizoars Blankie or Chizoars Caustic Scarf before this. Don’t use any upgrade stones on this until World 7. |
| Rings |  Silver Stopwatch (Quest) |
Easily obtained from a simple repeatable quest in World 1. Complete once per character. |
| Cape |  Cascading Scaled Cape of Krieg (Troll Boss)
|
These are the two best free to play capes to farm and combine with any paid/event capes available. |
| Keychain |  Any (Party Dungeon) |
Equip any keychains you have from Party Dungeons focusing on AFK gain, mob respawn or main stat. |
| Upgrade Stone |    Kattlekruk Upgrade Stones (Kattlekruk Boss) |
These are a notable jump in power level so worth waiting for, don’t use the helmet stones and use armour instead. |
Eternal Flames of The Divine (Kattlekruk Boss)
Late Game Equipment
This is my recommended best equipment for the late game (World 7 onwards). World 7 upgrade stones are an increase in power as they also increase misc bonuses on equipment so you should remake equipment you’ve previously upgraded if necessary. This also makes the Diabolical weapons and Kattlekruk Shirt/Pants surprisingly powerful in World 7 with the upgraded mob respawn.
| Equipment Slot | Item (Source) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet |  Prehistoric Battlehair (Anvil) |
|
| Shirt |  Prehistoric Parka (Anvil) |
In end game progression crafting a new Serrated Chest of the Divine and adding World 7 stones can improve kills per hour due to the mob respawn. |
| Pants |  Prehistoric Pantaloons (Anvil) |
In end game progression crafting a new Spiked Leggings of the Divine and adding World 7 stones can improve kills per hour due to the mob respawn. |
| Shoes |  Prehistoric Bracers (Anvil) |
|
| Pendant | The Divine Scarf (Anvil) |
|
| Rings |  Zero Point Stopwatch (Quest/Anvil)
|
You can craft up to 5 Zero Point Stopwatches with the remaining slots on characters filled with the Party Dungeon Opal ring. |
| Cape | Cascading Scaled Cape of Krieg (Troll Boss)
|
These best capes are unchanged although the World 6 Boss cape adds some class EXP and drop rate for specific use cases. |
| Keychain | Any (Party Dungeon)
|
Party Dungeons focused on AFK gain, mob respawn or stat. Alternatively farm keychains from the World 6 mini boss. |
| Upgrade Stone |    Armor Upgrade Stone VII (World 7 Shop) |
These are a notable jump in power level with the ability to buff misc slots on equipment. |
Demented Emperor Opal (Party Dungeon/Anvil)
Spiritlord Horn Chain (Demented Spiritlord Miniboss)
