For your weapon, the recipe above provides more than 70% critical hit chance, 30% critical hit damage, and a 25% chance to slow enemies. No matter the weapon type, this will be more than enough to clear endgame content.

For your armor, the recipe above provides a 55% Vitality boost and a 25% chance to reduce incoming damage by 25%. You can replace Suryafal with the Heart of the Island Ore for even more Health and Physical Damage, but it can be very difficult to farm that much.

Note that it is natural for the best weapon and armor to be made up of 100% Gargantuan since it has the highest multiplier in the game. However, this is completely impractical and will take too long. The recipes mentioned above are a little more realistic and accessible.

For your weapon, the recipe above provides 17.5% Physical Damage, 30% chance to slow enemies, and 25% chance to freeze enemies. If you add runes such as Frost Speck, it will allow you to create a permafreeze build, which helps you defeat enemies without getting hit.

For your armor, the recipe above provides 17.5% Physical Damage, 15% Vitality, and 20% Swiftness. No matter the weapon type, this will be more than enough to clear mid game content. Your movement speed will also be decreased by 5%, but it can easily be fixed with modifiers from runes.

It is not recommended to spend too much time farming Island 2 ores such as Demonite, Darkyte, and Fireite because these lose their value at the very start of Island 3.

For your weapon, it is recommended to have at least 30% Poopite in your recipe to have its passive that scares away enemies when you are low HP. Other than that, you can use anything else you have since it will most likely carry you throughout Stonewake's Cross.

For your armor, you can aim to use 100% Aite since it has the highest possible multiplier in Stonewake's Cross. There are no ores that offer traits for armor in this island, so aim for the highest multiplier you can until you reach Forgotten Kingdom.
