Throne of the Four Winds has items that drop with random affixes, making them harder to obtain than the gear shown above. If you are able to get these items, you will want to wear them as your best in slot instead:

  • Planetary Amulet Icon Planetary Amulet of the Undertow — This is better than Wyrmbreaker's Amulet Icon Wyrmbreaker's Amulet if you are able to get it to drop.
  • Planetary Drape Icon Planetary Drape of the Undertow — Has the same stats as Drape of the Twins Icon Drape of the Twins, allowing you to use whichever drops first.
  • Soul Breath Belt Icon Soul Breath Belt of the Undertow — This is better than X-Tron Duct Tape Icon X-Tron Duct Tape if you get lucky and it drops.
  • Planetary Band Icon Planetary Band of the Undertow — Replace this with whichever ring you don't have, ideally Signet of the Fifth Circle Icon Signet of the Fifth Circle.
  • Stormwake, the Tempest's Reach Icon Stormwake, the Tempest's Reach of the Undertow — This is better than Andoros, Fist of the Dragon King Icon Andoros, Fist of the Dragon King if you get lucky and it drops.
