I am playing a 3rd level dex based Tiefling Blackblade Magus going with the Dancing Dervish style and focusing on my spells and metamagic feats. But to get where I need to be I need good solid reliable gear. Suggestions? Already rocking a Mithril Chainshirt +2 and a Handy Haversack...
Looking long term so willing to listen to best eq options for any slot. However my budget is tight at 3rd level so some low level cheap selections would also be appreciated. As for my saves and AC I am looking good. Dex maxed, ref is good because of that, Will and Fort are also OK because they are Magus' best saves.
Ring 2: At higher levels, Freedom of Movement would be a desireable choice. If you don't think you can get that far, the Ring of Arcane Mastery is awesome-- especially for a Bladebound, who can use it to expand their Arcane Pool when they need it.
Head: Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier is a strong go-to choice. The Goz Mask is an amusing pick if your party will support it though
Chest: I'm a big fan of the Quick Runner's Shirt at the lower levels. While the Magus is better off in mobility than most front-line classes due to Bladed Dash and other mobility spells, saving spell slots is always good
Body: Eventually, an Otherworldly Kimono. If you'll get that high.
Eyes: Honestly I've never seen a standout in this slot
Wrists: Spellguard Bracers are cheap and give a decent bonus
Hands: I'm a biiig fan of Deliquescent Gloves.
Feet: Boots of the Battle Herald or Featherstep Slippers probably
Spell Storing Enchant is great for both Armor and Weapon -
Armor - Toss in a Frigid Touch spell in the Spell Storing Armor and you have a decent damage spell which applies the stagger condition. Useful against creatures with multiple attacks or can apply grapple condition.
Weapon - What ever you like, lots of spells will work.
Only problem with BlackBlade is I don't think you can enchant your weapon with Spell Storing.
- Cheap Alchemy stuff you should always have: Antiplague & AntiToxin
Potion of Lesser Restoration
Oil of Bless Weapon
Potion of Gaseous Form
Only problem with BlackBlade is I don't think you can enchant your weapon with Spell Storing.
You cannot. That was why I pitched the secondary Spiked Gauntlet above. By making it +1 Answering/Spell Storing/Dueling, you get an awesome always-on ability (Dueling), a strong bonus to your parry on the cheap (Answering), and on a riposte you can dump the stored spell.
Hot-swapping Spell Storing weapons isn't normally an option for the Magus, but such a Spiked Gauntlet (or two, if you can) with Answering lets them get the spells off without needing to boost accuracy/damage via arcane points or ask the GM to figure out if they can punch somebody with the gauntlet while holding a weapon.
I have a Magus Kensai Bladebound with favored weapon Katana. I am only 1st level but I did set up a future wish list of items. Hopefully your GM allows stacking magic for the +50% cost. I think this covers all body slots as well as unslotted items. As you level and gain gold, just start getting the base item then add the additional abilities to each in turn.

This allows a spellcaster that requires rest to prepare spells to do so after only 2 hours, but does not allow a spellcaster to prepare spells more than once per day.

resemblance to blood-encrusted fingernails. Three times per day, the wearer can use vampiric touch and bleed. If the wearer uses vampiric touch and holds the charge, the charge dissipates if the gloves are removed.
Though vampiric touch is normally a touch attack, the wearer may instead use that ability as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet, but only against a dying target or a target suffering from a bleed effect.

BAG OF HOLDING Type 1 PRICE 10,000 gp AURA moderate conjuration CL 9th WEIGHT 15+ lbs.
This appears to be a common cloth sack about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. The bag of holding opens into a nondimensional space: its inside is larger than its outside dimensions. Regardless of what is put into the bag, it weighs a fixed amount. This weight, and the limits in weight and volume of the bag’s contents, depend on the bag’s type, as shown on the table below.
BAG CONTENTS CONTENTS
BAG WEIGHT LIMIT VOLUME LIMIT PRICE
Type IV 60 lbs. 1,500 lbs. 250 cubic ft. 10,000 gp
If a bag of holding is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag immediately ruptures and is ruined, and all contents are lost forever. If a bag of holding is turned inside out, all of its contents spill out, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. If living creatures are placed within the bag, they can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time they suffocate. Retrieving a specific item from a bag of holding is a move action, unless the bag contains more than an ordinary backpack would hold, in which case retrieving a specific item is a full-round action. Magic items placed inside the bag do not offer any benefit to the character carrying the bag. If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in the space: bag and hole alike are sucked into the void and forever lost. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it opens a gate to the Astral Plane: the hole, the bag, and any creatures within a 10-foot radius are drawn there, destroying the portable hole and bag of holding in the process.

DECANTER OF ENDLESS WATER PRICE 9,000 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 9th WEIGHT 2 lbs.
If the stopper is removed from this ordinary-looking flask and a command word spoken, an amount of fresh or salt water pours out. Separate command words determine the type of water as well as the volume and velocity.
• “Stream” pours out 1 gallon per round.
• “Fountain” produces a 5-foot-long stream at 5 gallons per round.
• “Geyser” produces a 20-foot-long, 1-foot-wide stream at 30 gallons per round.
The geyser effect exerts considerable pressure, requiring the holder to make a DC 12 Strength check to avoid being knocked down each round the effect is maintained. In addition, the powerful force of the geyser deals 1d4 points of damage per round to a creature that is subjected to it. The geyser can only affect one target per round, but the user can direct the beam of water without needing to make an attack role to strike the target since the geyser’s constant flow allows for ample opportunity to aim. Creatures with the fire subtype take 2d4 points of damage per round from the geyser rather than 1d4. The command word must be spoken to stop it.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 4,500 GP
Craft Wondrous Item, control water
DUST OF ACID CONSUMPTION PRICE 1,600 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 10th WEIGHT —
This brown dust is similar to dust of dryness, but affects acid rather than water and absorbs less liquid. If it is thrown into acid, a volume of as much as 10 gallons is instantly transformed into nothingness, and the dust becomes a marble sized pellet floating or resting where it was thrown. If this pellet is hurled, it breaks and releases the same volume of acid, dealing 1d6 points of acid damage per gallon absorbed into the pellet (maximum 4d6), affecting all creatures within a 30-foot radius of its point of impact. This is a splash weapon. If the dust is used against an ooze that deals acid damage with its attacks, the creature must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or be destroyed. The dust deals 5d6 points of damage to the ooze even if its saving throw succeeds.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 800 GP
Craft Wondrous Item, control water, disintegrate
HANDY HAVERSACK PRICE 2,000 GP AURA moderate conjuration CL 9th WEIGHT 5 lbs.
A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It has two side pouches,
each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 1,000 GP

INSISTENT DOORKNOCKER PRICE 5,000 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 9th WEIGHT 2 lbs.

Once per day, when the flat back of the gargoyle face is placed against a wall, floor, or ceiling, it fuses into place, creating a usable door and penetrating the space beyond up to 1 foot as if using passwall. Speaking the command word again ends the passwall effect, returns the surface to its previous doorless shape, and releases the doorknocker from the surface.

MARTYR’S TEAR PRICE 6,000 GP AURA moderate necromancy CL 6th WEIGHT —
This imperfect, rose-tinted gemstone resembles a teardrop or a broken heart depending on its orientation. Its pale facets are typically marred by a single crack or chip near the gem’s middle. Once per day, the bearer may spend a standard action to transfer 3d6 hit points from himself into the gem. This deepens the gem’s color, with a stronger color indicating more life energy stored in it. The gem can store a maximum of 18 hit points. If any hit points are stored in the gem, the bearer may touch it to himself or another creature as a standard action, transferring all the stored life energy from the gem to the target creature, healing it a number of hit points equal to the amount stored in the gem. This returns the gem to its normal color.

SHEATH OF BLADESTEALTH PRICE 5,000 GP AURA faint illusion CL 5th WEIGHT 2 lbs.
This mundane-looking but serviceable sheath fits any bladed slashing weapon, from a dagger to a greatsword. When a weapon is placed into the sheath of bladestealth, both it and the weapon become invisible (as the invisibility spell) until the weapon is drawn, at which point it and the sheath become visible again. The invisible sheathed weapon can still be detected by touch, but the bearer gains a +5 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks to conceal the weapon, and casual inspection does not reveal it at all. Other effects that detect or reveal invisible things work normally on the sheathed weapon.

This implement at first seems to be nothing but a 12-inch iron bar lined with small plates and spikes. It can be folded, twisted, hinged, and bent, to form almost any known tool. Hammers, shovels, even a block and tackle (without rope) are possible. It can duplicate any tool the wielder can clearly visualize that contains only limited moving parts, such as a pair of scissors, but not a handloom. It cannot be used to replace missing or broken parts of machines or vehicles unless a mundane tool would have done the job just as well. The any-tool counts as a set of masterwork artisan’s tools for most Craft or Profession skills (although very specialist crafts such as alchemy still require their own unique toolset). It is an ineffective weapon, always counting as an improvised weapon and never granting any masterwork bonus on attack rolls.

Metamagic rod, quicken, normal 75,500 gp
Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell-like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod’s wielder. In this case, only the feats possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast. Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic rods, which can be used as a swift action).
