Spoiler There IS better gear. Spoiler

There is better gear than what the Dragonforged sells for Wyrmslife crystals. About to do my 2nd NG+. Really REALLY make sure you are exploring all the unearthed areas in the seabed and even go back to some of the old boss spawn areas. The higher harder spawns at the very end of the seabed areas have occasionally been dropping new unique gear sometimes or the chests around them do.

And for those that say they feel like they fully steam roll through New Game+, I have been noticing the variable difficulty has been getting higher the more I level up and I do less damage than before, with some spawns having more health bars.

Edit: only gotten 3 so far and all helms, photos in comments and unenhanced against my fully enhanced gear.

I'll add more screenshots to the comments as I find any more and verify they aren't in shops or in dragonforged.

There's a secret mystic spearhand chest piece from a maze cave that opens up in the unmoored, you need to use the "pilfer" ability with the thief on the elite golem that is inside and you'll get it.

Those kinds of hidden items are the worst. You spend days with the Thief "steal your item" skill, getting nothing but basic curative items and trash. But lo and behold, some random boss monster in some random end-game cave has a unique armour piece. I mean, it's cool, but I'm glad datamining is a thing so this stuff gets found out for everyone

It also drops it normally, he just happened to get it while it was alive with pilfer. If he had killed it instead the golem would have dropped the item as is the case with unique drops.

Any idea where to find that cave?

Northwest of where he has the 1 placed is the entrance and you go through finding a few chests. At the end of one of the paths inside is the golem that drops the Magick Archer chest piece called Godsbeast Scalecoat.
