What are some good items for an arcanist?
Looking at the following
Belt of Dex
Boots of Striding & Springing
Gloves of Elvenkind
Headband of Char/Int
Ring of Protection/Ring of Wizardry
Robes of the Archmagi
Looking for items that increase spell penetration
If you want increased spell penetration, you need items that increase caster level.
Can you give me some examples?
Rather than going for increased CL I'd look at Dweomer's Essence and at metamagic rods of Piercing Spell.
Being able to see in the dark or thru fog is handy - there are items in the head slot which do so. If you don't go for those then Eyes of the Eagle are standard.
Never leave home without your cloak of resistance.
Robe of Runes
Metamagic Rods(varies by favorite spells)
Initiative/CL boosting Ion Stone
+1 Training Gauntlets
Blessed Book
Staff of the Master
Handy Harvasack/Other Storage
How does the robe of runes spell recall interact with the Arcanist Semi-spontaneous casting?
What is a training gauntlet?
Unfortunately, Rods are a little out of the question
Had not seen the Kimmono...WOW

Training(inner sea intrigue) +1 enchant- the wielder* gains a combat feat determined at the time of crafting so long as they meet all other perquisites. You may not use feats "gained" this way to meet other prerequisites
Paraphrased but you get the idea. They can give anything from improved initiative to dodge to arcane strike to quickdraw. Very nice for finishing a feat chain or just grabbing a nice stat boost. Do note that wield is an undefined term so it is up for debate

Ok, got ya now. I don't consider it appropriate for Gauntlets but planed on having it on my staff (1/2 quarter, 1/2 magical: TWF)
Still would like to know how Robes of Runes works on an arcanist (specifically the spell recall)
For a spontaneous caster: Mnemonic Vestments are great.
The great joy (and cost) of Arcanist...Not quite prepared, not quite spontaneous...
