Welcome to the game.

Let’s start with your second post. You confuse your armor enchantment (glyph) with its trait. Armor can be enchanted to offer more max stamina, magic or health. Enchantments can be changed at any time (although usually you won’t want to). If someone makes you gear, either they can enchant it, or you can make your own glyphs to enchant it at an enchanting station. Then select the gear in your inventory, options, enchant. Once you put a glyph on a gear piece it stays on there unless you add a New one.

Traits are added to gear at creation and and semi-permanent. (You can swap a trait, but don’t worry about it. That’s for high end vet gear). There are nine possible traits. You’re describing “training,” the trait that adds xp per enemy kill. The other desirable traits are divines (used on 90% of gear) or maybe infused. If someone makes you gear, you do need to know the trait.

Finding sets

There are two kinds of sets, craft and drop sets. That’s pretty self explanatory. Crafted can be made, drop have to be collected from specific areas. As a low level toon, you can go either way. I will reference sets looking at this site:

Drop sets

The easiest sets to get drop in the 15 base game zones...auridon, glenumbra, etc. Each zone has three sets. You can find a set you want, then farm it. Jewelry drops at the dolmens...that’s a good place to start. Then pieces drop with delve and world bosses.

For a mag sorc, I’m going to say try for Spinners in Malabal Tor. The dolmens are busy, it’s a good set, and you can collect five pieces in an hour or two. At your level, don’t worry about color quality...you might get green rings or blue, doesn’t really matter. Having a set will be what makes the difference.

The downside to drop sets at low levels is that you’ll want to replace your set every 5 levels or so. The way the game works now, if you outlevel your gear by more you will get weak and reeeeeeeally squishy. So if you go faker Spinners at 21, you’re going to need to go get new stuff as you get to 26-28.

Craft sets

These are made at stations throughout the world. They work just like drop sets, just they’re more convenient since you get to pick the piece, trait, etc when you make them. We refer to craft sets by trait number, like “night silence is a two trait set”. When you hear this, it means you need to have researched that many traits in a piece to make it. If I want to craft a night silence jack, I need to have researched any two traits in medium chests. Then if I need pants (because...#metoo) I need to research two traits in legs.

You can join a guild, and probably lots of people will make you gear. The mats are trash to experienced players, so some will make it cheap. You can also start doing some trait research so you can make your own gear, which is way more convenient for a new player.

The good news is that Magnus’s Gift and Seducer are 3 and 4 trait sets, and you can be up and running to make these pretty quick...like a week maybe...if you hit the research. If you like the game and plan to keep with it, I recommend researching all the junkmyou find and working to be a six trait crafter in light, some heavy, and weapons. Then you can make your own gear.

If asking a guildie, good craft sets are Magnus, Julianos or Seducer. I’d tend to go Julianos...that’s what you’d make when you’re a six trait crafter. It just offers raw power, but it’s a great set. But honestly, as a newbie you don’t need to stress over which setup to use. Getting into any magic five piece set will be great.

But try getting five Julianos and five spinners and then test how much harder you hit...it’ll be a heck of a lot.
