one thing i've done, which i highly recommend is to build 3 sets. Lots of gear will overlap between them, so it's not too terrible on inventory. A high tier nuke set, a low tier nuke set, and a pure magic accuracy set.
weapon-
venabulum: drop from AATT, this is a nice well rounded staff
-lehbrailg+2: properly augmented, this is one of the strongest nuking staves. easy to obtain from skirmish, and upgrade while working on hagondes gear
-twebuliij: fairly easy to obtain from a key item you can get outside delve and plasm, this staff augments with some of the best magic accuracy
-zuuxowu grip: due to the lack of a good MAB grip or int grip, this is your best damage grip, skc20 yags drop
-mephitis grip: great for macc: easy drop in foret delve
ranged-
dosis tathlum: good magic damage, skc10 drop
erlenes notebook: mab option with some -enm
aureole: slightly expensive because it's an AV drop, still best option for magic acc
head-
hagondes hat/+1: best damage head out there, especially once you augment with mab
buremte cap: no mab, but it does have macc15 and mdmg10, tree wkr
neck-
eddy necklace: very nice mab option, this is a drop from foret delve boss
imbodla necklace: with int, mnd, elemental, enfeebling, this does double duty as a macc piece for nukes and enfeebles
earrings-
friomisi: mab10, lion wkr
crematio: drop from AATT (only in divine might) has a good mix of MAB and mdmg
novio: mab7 jailer of love drop, easy to obtain
hecates: mab6 rani drop, also easy to obtain
gwati: drop from one of the low tier nms in marjami delve, very common drop and great for magic accuracy
lifestorm and psystorm: this set has int/mnd/enm-/ and macc12, great for macc
moonshade: if you're a career mage, and know you won't be doing any melee jobs, complete wings of the goddess missions and you can augment macc4 or mab4 along with refresh on this earring
body-
hagondes/+1: awesome nuking body, mab augment makes it even better
artsieq: can be augmented several ways, can and will keep up but not beat hagondes body for damage. it does however have macc possible augments
vanir: a balance of mab18/macc18 paired with fast cast and haste, this is a supreme precast piece as well as a strong macc nuke piece
hands-
hagondes/+1: starting with macc20, a strong MAB augment makes these into some of the best hands out there
otomi: mab13/macc13/mdmg10/enm- and can be augmented with int or mdmg for low tier nukes
rings-
shivas: newest rings on the market, crafted +1s are millions of gil
acumen: a decent nuking ring, easily obtained with sparks
perception: good macc ring, also sparks
sangoma: best macc ring, drop from foret delve boss
strendu: fairly good mab ring from voidwatch ironclad
back-
bane: JSE cape from reives, good macc, good mdmg
toro: lion wkr drop, best int and mab
seshaw: i think is crafted? pure mab
waist-
maniacus sash: mab at the cost of macc, not a fan of this piece
othila sash: good mab, odin2 drop, AHable
elemental obis: make them, use them when weather/day are applicable
ovate rope: macc at the cost of mab, best for enfeebles
tengu-no-obi: macc with mdmg and some spell crit, gessho drop
sekhmet corset: AAMR drop, nice mdmg
legs-
hagondes/+1: best. damage. legs. get these
mes'yohi slacks: great macc, stellar fulcrum fight, kinda hard to get
artsieq: great precast piece, also augmentable with lots of macc
feet-
hagondes/+1: no native mab, but strong mab augments put it on top
umbani: marjami delve boss drop, competitive with hagondes+1 on damage
manabyss: AAHM drop, third place damage feet, also a great option
artsieq: good macc feet
TLDR:
do skirmish, get hagondes set and lehbrailg, upgrade to +1/+2 and get mab augments
do wkrs, get otomi hands, toro cape, friomisi earring, buremte cap, bane cape
do delve for clears, get artsieq set, eddy necklace, imbodla necklace, lifestorm and psystorm earrings, gwati earring, umbani boots, sangoma ring
