Materials and resources needed to craft the best 15lvl cloth items for the mage class

TanerothTaneroth Member, Intrepid Pack, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
Hello.

I am playing on a European server where no nodes have been developed too much yet and still the node commander has not built the appropriate buildings, but sooner or later it will happen..

Can anyone tell me what materials and resources should I focus on to gather now, so that when my node is expanded, I can craft the best 15lvl cloth items for the mage class?

Will it be useful for fishing and collecting high tier flowers as well as for lower-end cloth items for mage class?

Will I have to drop any other materials, i.e. recipes that can only be obtained from raid bosses?

I would like to add that I am a solo player and do not plan to participate in raids and instances with other players.

I love game exploration, grinding, gathering and crafting, but I don't like playing in groups and being dependent on someone.

Will my gameplay style limit me to some extent from crafting the best items?

Can the strongest items, e.g. legendary items, be scrafted or obtained only from the strongest bosses on alpha tests?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Confirmed.
    This is by far the grindiest of it all.
    Be sure to take breaks to do conversion into oil/bones/etc. so if you die or they re-enable PvP you don't lose half your fish.

    The Fish gathering for making the Dark Fortune set is a pain, but the set is better than the Enlightenment Set you get from doing the Upset the Advent quest to kill It Before Whom All Tremble. Currently the DF set is 2nd best only to the Legendary set, barring some potentially better drops off of the Dragons. I have one Dragon drop Dark Fortune Helm and it is exactly the same stats as the crafted one of the same name. During the test I was able to craft several pieces of the Dark Fortune set so I now have 4/8 Dark Fortune. If the Armory building opens up again this week, I will buy the other recipes since I now farmed enough cash to do so, and I have almost all of the fish I need to make the remaining pieces of the set. It just takes a LOT of fishing time, since fishing a node takes about 2x longer than mining an ore node or picking a plant. Make sure you gather ore too if you plan on making a weapon for your mage. The Blacksmith shop sells a nice epic staff recipe, and it is also supposed to sell the Quill of the Tundra wand recipe, but the wand recipe is not showing up on the vendor. If you prefer a Book, the dragons can drop an epic book to use. It is a bit slower casting than a wand but hits harder than the wand.
