Gloves are probably the easiest to beat, because they dont have any stats. So abadoned or quiet, and just get that juciy all stat roll.
Here is example of nice gloves:
reason why these crafts are cheap is that we are not really aiming for those perfect shrine rolls, you want ok roll + good base (all stats). Crafting pierce gear is lot harder since you really wanna roll high pierce values.
motw axe is low priority, just use whatever shrines on it, it should appear fast.
Boots are little harder since lionpaw has all stat roll and life, can be done too.
Another one is helm, good helm I didnt mention in guide, and I probably should is lavadome (tu4 helm) +2 skills, good vit/life roll, its basicallya good vit craft in form of TU, its definitely nice helm and cheap.
Some misc items can be added too. There is barb helm tu with mana on striking, this can be swapped vs bosses that you run oom (high dodge). There are some fights where you literally stand on top of a guy and swing for 3min, if you just swap for this helm, your mana will never run out, and its significant QOL.
Another thing to test would be tu light gauntlets with -200 defense per hit, currently testing it. It could solve lot of AR issues, especially in long boss fights, I need more time to find out how good this actually is.
