With bio5 there are true celia and true kathryne cards. But while warlocks have sunflower boi and crimson staff (both synergise with the card perfectly), sorcerer's choice of level 4 weapons with 2+ slots pales in comparison.  

ATM optimal choice seems to be vicious rod with just one card. Valk knife with 4 cards is a possibility, but good luck getting 4 of those

Thoughts?

Actually Vicious Mind Rod may not be much worse compared to Sunflower Boy. Before the introduction of True KK Card, the Vicious Mind Rods with good enchants were actually better since it was one-handed and could be used with shields for NCT combo(MDEF bypass). Even now Sunflower Boy still has downside, as warlocks lose the 50% MDEF piercing from NCT card combo and will be stuck with Ordinary Black Magician Hats for 80-90% MDEF piercing(aka cant use the new Bio 5 Hat since it doesnt bypass MDEF). When going up against Fire, Holy and Shadow monsters, the True KK Carded Sunflower Boy still lose to Vicious Mind Rods for warlocks, as it only boots Crimson Rock damage. Also lets not forget that, most warlocks wont be able to afford Sunflower Boy + 2 x True KK Cards anyway. These are not like magicians gloves that everyone can spare around 100M to buy easily.

Chilly Spell Book Synergize well with Spirit King's Ring. You got Diamond Dust Massive Bonus when refined high enough and Varetyr Spear Damage boost from the True Celia Card because it's lvl 4 weapon. You can also try your luck on biolab enchants if you want to

 

You already have 3 elements spammable amplified damaging spells advantage when wearing chilly spellbook with true celia card and spirit king's ring. (DD, VS, EG)

 

You can snap your garment with warlock's nightmare ancient mummy to reap fire psywave benefits on agni spirit call, but I prefer the arc elder one to boost further already spammable earthgrave due to reduced cooldowns from spirit king's ring and the boosted damage modifier or just snap the MVP Sorcerer Celia garment card for the sake of the combo

Well, bio5 hat for warlock increases soul expansion afaik and only reduces cooldowns on crimson rock so in terms of damage switching to OBMH won't be that big of a loss I think. Damage gain from true KK card outweights the disadvantage.

I just like to have long-term goals

Chilly spellbook feels...a bit underwhelming but looks like there's no better alternative. And enchanting is a no-go, I'll need those books to turn them into energy debris  

 

I'd really want to make a set of items tailored for one specific spell. Both bio5 hat and true celia card have synergy for varetyr spear, elvira card for accesory (though I'd rather save my spirit king's ring for headless mule if it ever appears on iro)
