What items if any do you think would be good for a Homunculus Servant. I am thinking (confriming with DM if it can) of trying to get a ring of spell storing and a cloak of protection. (loot that is not yet claimed by party and may be sold off.)
What do you all think may be good items to try to get for him.
I think its fairly common for a DM to allow your sidekicks and familiars to attune to magic items, but the total number of attuned slots you and your sidekicks use is limited to the total number of slots your character gets.
I.e. at low levels, you could give your homunculus a ring of spell storing, which it attunes to, but that leaves you 2 attunement slots for your items
I think Adventure League uses that approach.
Otherwise, everyone will stack up with a familiar, a sidekick, a hireling, and whatevrr else, and bolt 3 attuned items to each of them, making for an extremely op situation.
At some point you can build a wand of magic missile rhat doesnt require an attunement slot. Good for a flying wonder that you can also build without using an attunement slot.
Once you get to level 10, your replicate magic item feature can build a gem of elemental summoning. The gem crumbles after one use, but you can build another one after a long rest. If you build a gem of summoning earth elementals thats a whole lotta damage you get to hand out each long rest.

Thank you for the Info. I think I may still give him the ring of spell storing if that is the case. Off loading concentration for buffs would be nice.
