Don't necessarily need R30 to see what it'll be at R30, just have to have the path started to associate the gear with the augment ID and you can look up the augment or memory/packet edit the gear to show what it'll be at R30.

Anyone else unable to decide on which set they want to work on first, or even piece?

Torn between duty and sworn myself. Play more duty jobs than sworn jobs but sworn jobs tend to be more useful. Units are hitting max need to spend them on something soon.

None of them are so much better that its worth stressing over.

Just replace your current weakest piece

Both my Murky Ring and Alabaster Earring are in the mid-20's so I'm just going to finish those out while I wait for the +2 prices to settle. On Asura the cost of materials is constantly plummeting (saw one material undercut by 66% from 1.5m to 500k in just one day) so I imagine the gear will continue to reduce in cost. Demand for the gear is going to mostly be limited by how infrequently we can upgrade them with Matters meanwhile supply will continue to flow in steadily.

My Ear/Ring are in the same spot. I've taken to stockpiling matter and only burning one when I get near cap in either zone. Because SE did such a stupid scaling with Units, when I do decide to upgrade a piece of armor, I'm gonna need 8 of both matter just to spend 30k units and get myself in a decent spot where I dont have to worry about wasting any.

This is exactly my strategy. Hopefully what it will lead to is maintaining a healthy amount of units while also building up a pool of Matters, allowing for rapid leveling of armor once I get to that stage.

Personally, the pieces for bard (legs first) been answered, but what about for WAR? In which order should we proceed? Anyone ran the numbers?

Think war has better tp pieces in just about every slot aside maybe head. Makes for a nice potential ukon am3 set with its spread of da/stp/crit/pdl

Just grabbed this set off the last pages of the WAR guide thread:

ItemSet 401194

Compared to Revelation:
Head is weaker defensively, but offers 6 STP and 6 PDL over the empy head
Body is also weaker defensively, swaps 3 STP for 8 crit rate, 8 DA, and 7 PDL
Hands are basically no contest, they're terrible for WAR
Legs swap 4 DA for 7 STP, 7 crit, and 6 PDL. They're also much stronger defensively
Feet lose 3 DA, gain an STP, 5 crit rate, 5 PDL, and gain a lot of defensive stats.

I mean...it's not necessarily gonna blow your socks off, but it's not exactly uncompetitive...If you swapped head, body, legs, and feet you'd still be capped on DA but gain 11 STP, a bunch of crit rate, PDL, and you'd be at 49% PDT, overcapped MDT. Lose 23 meva, gain 2 MDB

edit: might not be capped on DA. I was relying on the OP saying this had capped DA but after checking, neither set seems to be capped? Looks to me like 92% for the OP set and 93% for Revelation. Either way...if this set is an acceptable WAR set, revelation is just better, IMO. Could swap the neck for JSE (which was the topic of debate, actually) to cap it. Or just roll with 90 whatever percent and have more STP

I hope this is the place to ask. I have leathercraft shield, the KI from the crafting shield, I'm 110 Leathercrafter Expert, and I have the Apron/Gloves, and the Tanner's Stall, but still I can't craft the new items... Says its above my crafting level. I even went and farmed the crafting torque for my sub craft thinking that was the issue but still won't work. Soo what am I missing >.< ??
