== Introduction ==
 
This guide is a comprehensive resource for building a physical Bowazon (in softcore) that can farm any content in the game, including maps and ubers.
 
 
Line 42:
I will only be listing here things that don't rely on luck to obtain (outside of mid runes, since they can be target farmed at countess). This section is mostly for people playing SP, that don't really like trading, that are just starting and have no currency, or just like playing self-found.
 
=== Bow ===
'''White/Blue/Yellow Bow''' - When starting out, just grab what you can find. Even a socketed bow with some chipped gems will do
 
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Bow</font>
'''Edge''' - Great early game bow that should carry you into early-mid nightmare. Any base will do, even if you just grab a socketed white from Charsi
 
<font color="white">'''White/Blue/Yellow Bow'''</font> - When starting out, just grab what you can find. Even a socketed bow with some chipped gems will do
'''Zephyr''' - Also a decent early game bow, prefer this one if you get the runes for it before the runes for Edge
 
<font color="orange">'''Edge'''</font> - Great early game bow that should carry you into early-mid nightmare. Any base will do, even if you just grab a socketed white from Charsi
'''???''' - There's a bit of a gap to bridge between mid nightmare and your first Ko rune. Hopefully you'll be able to find a unique bow or crossbow to fill this gap, but if not, just make a new Edge in an exceptional base and push on. Your Valkyries and Mercenary can solo the game at this point for you anyway if you fall too far behind
 
<font color="orange">'''Zephyr'''</font> - Also a decent early game bow, prefer this one if you get the runes for it before the runes for Edge
'''Harmony''' - This bow is surprisingly good and you can complete the campaign with it. Prefer an elite base (such as Great Bow)

<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Helmet</font>
 
=== Helmet ===
'''Lore''' - Cheap Runeword with +skills
 
'''3os Helm with 3 PTopaz''' - Useful for early MFing such as pit runs
 
 
=== Body ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Body</font>
 
'''Stealth''' - Nerfed in PD2, but dirt cheap and has some FRW so it's nice
 
Line 71 ⟶ 77:
'''3-4os Body with PTopaz''' - Useful for early MFing, especially if you don't have the runes for one of the above
 
 
=== Gloves ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Gloves</font>
 
'''Blue/Yellow gloves with 20% IAS''' - Attack speed is always nice
 
Line 78 ⟶ 86:
'''2/20 Yellow or 3/20 Blue gloves''' - The +skills here (should be Passive and Magic) can help, especially earlier on
 
 
=== Boots ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Boots</font>
 
'''Yellows''' - FRW, Resists, MF, Life
 
 
=== Belt ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Belt</font>
 
'''Yellows''' - Any belt with 4 rows and stats that are useful to you (Life, Resists, Dex, Strength)
 
 
=== Ring ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Ring</font>
 
'''Leech Rings''' - Grab Life Leech and Mana Leech here if you don't have it elsewhere
 
'''MF Rings''' - MF rings, and/or rings with stats (Life, Resists, Dex, Strength)
 
 
=== Amulet ===
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Amulet</font>
 
'''Skills Amulet''' - + Amazon skills or + Passive and Magic skills are the most useful here
 
Line 96 ⟶ 112:
'''Stats amulet''' - Life, Resists, Dex, Strength
 
=== Charms ===
Whatever you can find that will give you damage or utility, but prefer +Max charms, Life/Resist charms, and MF small charms.
 
<font color="#EDCF8B" style="font-size: 1rem">Charms</font>
 
Whatever you can find that will give you damage or utility, but prefer +Max charms, Life/Resist charms, and MF small charms.
 
== Budget Gear ==
Line 216 ⟶ 233:
 
'''+Max Charms''' - MF is no good if you kill too slow, consider still running damage charms instead
 
 
== Best Gear ==
