Gear & economy
Gear progression & upgrades
A useful upgrade starts with knowing its requirements.
What to know
Check class, level, stats and options before buying gear. Excellent, Ancient, Socket and Mastery are different systems: more options do not automatically replace the effect your build needs.
For Mastery gear, identify the previous piece and every recipe material. A Soul or Anvil is only part of the cost: jewels, Zen and mix risk may also apply. Do not price an entire set using one material.
