But gems are always an issue. Any gems you spend on equipping a spellcaster are gems you cannot use to equip a combat mage, or summon more troops, or cast globals.
Except for earth mages, about the only shoes I ever make for spellcasters are winged shoes - if the strategic situation requires them. |

Re: What boots do your mages wear?
I can imagine 3 nature gems for a pair of Boots of the Messenger couuld be a good investment for a mage. And some kind of simple armour/shield/amulet of missile protection. I would rarely give them more than that myself.

Re: What boots do your mages wear?
Boots rarely, except for earth boots. Even that isn't too common, except with Ulm.
Most mages go out unequipped. If I've got the gems any mages with armor will get Robes of missile protection. Drops encumbrance and protects from stray arrows.
Other than that, only gear for specific tasks. Boosters, resistance items, maybe penetration.

Winged boots can be very handy tactically.

Re: What boots do your mages wear?
Talking of boots of youth reminds me the game I started with Aby yesterday. Had my heroe on turn 8, got him deseased on turn 9, died in the following turns...
RHAAAAAAA !!! First time I ever see him !!
Winged boots are very combo with pegasus riders.(winged armor too, but I find this one quite crappy)

I had this too, in a MP game, as MA Man I recruited a crone for the Late Winter turn.
When I got my turn and looked at my new crone, she was diseased, 20% hp loss and crippled. She was dead by summer! 300gps for that, how I swore... |

Re: What boots do your mages wear?
I've never put anything but earth boots on a mage, as far as I can remember.
The question makes me think that the boots category could use additional non-combat variety options.

Edi, you forgot about boots of youth - add blood to your list.
