*[[Basement Diving Guide]]

Trying to max out your DA is the way to go, with +HP items 2nd, +Muscle% third (unless you're diving at a relatively high level). DR is kind of useless since the level of damage you're taking is so high.

With that in mind, here's the "value" Gauntlet setup. Obviously, some people will have better access to resources/personal skills. I don't know what you have and what you don't, so here's something I threw together assuming few if any ascensions.


Hat: Wreath of Laurels 200 (+Muscle)
Wep: Duct Tape Sword 40
Shd: Catskin Buckler 50
Leg: Danglin' Chat'd Loincloth 200
Ac1: Shiny Hood Ornament +HP
Ac2: Blackberry Boots +HP
Ac3: Bejeweled pledge pin +HP

Total: 490

Effects:
Astral Shell 80
Ghostly Shell 80
Twinkly powder 30

Total: 190
Grand Total: 680


DA Bonuses, if they're available.
Battered old top-hat, 0 additional, but bonuses. Need Hobopolis.
Bronze Breastplate 125 additional, need Torso Awareness
SSSuspenders 30 additional, need a HC run.
Hide of the Otter/Walrus 20/40 additional, SC skill.
Tao Double hat and pants power x2, TT skill

Other stuff:
Shanty (HP bonus)
Power Ballad (Kind of useless, but every little bit helps I guess...).
All the cheap percentage +Muscle/+HP item effects, like Mick's, pine cones.


Addendum: It only makes sense to go up to 1000 DA, so if you have Tao, you can use lower powered hats/pants in an efforts to increase +HP or +Mus even more.

Part 2: When I ranked bonuses you want on the first line, I meant in terms of choosing equipment. Obviously, a lemon potion is going to bump your MaxHP quite a bit, so you'll want to be using one regardless of whatever else you have.
