Gear
Only weapons and sets we can match to an item in the 1.0 game files. Tiers come from those files; a “likely match” agrees on 4–5 of 5 perk slots rather than all of them.
Reaper's WandprimaryWandsT1–T7Shockin 1.0 filesThe main weapon: a shock wand the 1.0 files carry at every tier, T1–T7. Wand Mastery raises wand damage and Thunder shock damage, so every rank of both applies to it.
VoidcallerprimaryWandsT2–T7Shocklikely matchShock wand, T2–T7 in the 1.0 files (likely match) — Wand Mastery and Thunder apply the same way.
Darya's StaffsecondaryStavesT1likely matchThe staff for Blast and Cast, which Keen's 1.0 notes describe as: "After a critical strike with a wand, the base damage of your next staff attack within 10 seconds is increased by 50%". A loot staff the 1.0 files let roll from item level 1 to 55; load shock spells (from item level 10 in the files) and Thunder raises them too.
Alchemist Apprentice SetArmor setitem level 5in 1.0 filesThe tier-1 Mage damage set in the 1.0 files.
Tidecaller SetArmor setitem level 40in 1.0 filesThe tier-6 Mage damage set in the 1.0 files — the late-game swap.
