Try to find you some decent garms with STR and if your lucky INT blues as well. I have tried to always have +3 STR at least on each piece and you can imagine how much more HP you have when you add those + from 6 garment pieces plus anything you have on your wep and accessories.
You could have 24 (more or less) extra STR from blues which can translate in a lot of xtra HP. INT adds are gravy for me since I know I am gonna eat MP pots. Plus you can find Straight HP and MP blue adds which only further enhance your garments(or armor/protector).
I am Pure STR wearing Garments.
EXAMPLE: 250 HP Med pots free from quest. Those 5 stacks of pots lasted me 3 levels....not kidding (I dont cape fight and burn pots that way, I didn't job during that time so no pots burned there). On the other hand I can go through 250 MP pots in a couple hours of grinding (I am known to take a break and sit for a minute so I get a little HP/MP refresh there)
Back to the question

garms for speed-mp consumption reduction !!
