Tartarus' Hades Gear Guide - Final Bastion (2024)

Hades gear drops after wizards complete the final battle in Tartarus against Hades’ the Unseen and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon. For more information on this dungeon, read Heather’s Tartarus Guide with accompanied with video.

Hades drops two sets of gear. One is a long awaited update to the famous Waterworks gear. After thirty levels an upgrade gear set to that of Waterworks is introduced and it is even more difficult to get. In fact, at time of release many discussed the difficulty in getting any pieces of this gear. The other set takes a more offensive stance. This guide will cover all hats, robes, boots and wands that are dropped. In the event you find something different, we would love to hear about it.

Hades’ Offensive Gear Set

This set used to offer the highest pierce in the game at 16-30% when it was first released in 2013. Yes, you read that right… 2013!

It gives decent school increases in accuracy by 6-14%, critical by 310-481, critical block by 70-182, and damage by 33-57%. The wand also has additional universal critical. There is little resist (3-8%) provided on the pair of boots only, but it is universal resist. Additionally, you will have outgoing, but no incoming and power pip chance is 21-25%. Heath is about what you would expect from 630 for Storm to 1520 for Ice with the other schools in between. All details are offered below in a side by side comparison. This set alone will provide you with a glass cannon approach to PvP. Hit them first and hit them hard before they have a chance to hit you!

The Lava Lord spell is on every robe for 7 pips which is a big win mainly for Fire wizards unless you are running a mastery amulet.

620 Fire damage to all enemies
-35% accuracy to all enemies
You will cast with 75% accuracy

The Waterworks Upgrade Hades Gear Set

If you would like to see all the different names of this gear, it might be easier to look at the gear below. This set offers universal resist from 26-34% and health from 509-1285. It has incoming from 15-21%, but no outgoing healing. It does give universal critical block from 84-154 which is nowhere near enough for what we will face from the offensive set and other gear out there. If you will be going with this set one thing is for sure, you will be fizzling for days!

It does offer pierce from 4-15% and school damage 29-57%. The school critical is 262-354. This is a good all around set for a level 90 wizard. However, you may find it better to mix and match pieces to fit your style of PvP. On the other hand, there is Darkmoor waiting for you just 10 levels away with some truly upgraded gear.

Hades’ Wands

Hades’ staffs have additions to universal and school critical. The majority have universal pierce while Ice has critical block. Obviously, they are all no auction with one Power Pip and give 4 wands that deal 140 Damage depending on school. You will not be able to carry an off school Hades wand at this time. This is bad news for those of us who use wands to remove the variety of negative charms in PvP.
