I do not know how much strength your character has, but a loot run from Chiontar River Hilltop Ruins to Friendly Armn Gibberling caves can bring your character about 10k. Thus you just need to team up 3-5 times with some people if you cannot do it alone, and you got the money for the Deflection and Dodge items.

Nice tip. So deflection and Dodge still stacks with all the AC spells?

Silverbeard is +2 Sacred AC bonus so stacks with everything.
Dodge AC stacks up to +20 from multiple sources (I believe Divine Shield is Dodge AC)
No other AC types stack except in rare occurrences, such as a PaleMasters AC increase will stack with Natural Armor amulet/spell.
Generally, when calculating for AC you should think about two equipment sets. Your short term set should assume you can get +3 in all slots relatively easily, so:
10 (Base) + 9 (FP with 12 DEX) + 12 (+3 Armor, Dodge, Deflection, Natural) + 2 (Silverbeard) + 7 (Heavy Shield with Pally spell giving +5) = 40 (before any feats, tumble, etc)
Then you should consider your 'max AC' once you have a full set of epic gear, which is the same as above for you, but +16 instead of + 12 (Armor, Dodge, Deflection, Natural) which will put you at 44, 45 if you have LoH, 47 if you have Greater Heavy Armor Optimization, etc. etc.
Then you can factor in things like a wand of IMA for +2, Divine Shield for + 10 (assuming 22 CHA + 8 from Pally spells). This will let you know your maximum obtainable AC.

Lol, idk if the Silverbeard spell actually creates a silverbeard on your character, but If so I'd love to see Seraphina with a big silver beard

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Silverbeard <= Info on the spell.
It is a level 1 Paladin spell. If you have at least 12 wisdom, the four levels of Paladin is enough to get one level 1 Paladin spell slot. If not, you need 6 levels of Paladin.

Right, but you also can factor in your sorceress spells such as Improved Mage Armor and Shadow Shield/Spiderskin... These give +6 Armor Enchantment Bonus and +5 Natural Armor which is 3 AC better than you can get from items.
Then you consider 20% Displacement from Deez's Repulsive Shadow Barrier and Mirror Images and you realize your basically immune to melee enemies...
