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