How many generation of gear you gone through?

A lot of people, when new level of gear or stats come out, start grumbling... Grrrr, I need to restat again???! I just made this new tiered optimally statted, plussed and drilled gear and now I need to do it again?

So, I am curious. How often to you upgrade/replace what you use? If you didn't discard any of your significant gear as you progressed through the game, how many generations would you have? I dont mean junky quest or dirty statted temporary gear, I mean good purple clean stuff that you got that was a long part of your wardrobe.

For me, I am looking at really 3 generations. My first real gear was L55 low-level "junk", except that it was not junk at the time. Clean yellow DOD stats with occasional comps were a big boost. My second generation gear was mostly temple gear with temple/tomb stats. And my last generation is what I can get or buy of levels 65/67/70 with a mixture of crimson/bunker statted and hero/glory. I can't think of any slot I have where I had more than 3 significant pieces.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

On EU servers, I've had:
- full Rune Warrior set from Kalin Shrine during chapter 1 and into 2;
- full Snakescale set from Heart of the Ocean in chapter 2 into 3;
- Devil Slaughter set & Paicha set during chapter 3 and into 4;
I'm currently replacing the DS set with Boro-boro but gave up running instances and haven't finished this set. I don't know if I'll keep running instances or not...

Currently levelling the Mage over here on US servers and am just grabbing whatever Purple gear I can get my hands on but don't have anything that would count as a complete set yet.

I've been playing since Open Beta, and have gone through wayyyyy too much in my opinion.

*Levels 1-50 were all quest gear, none very good at that. My first tiered staff was T5 and white. No plussing on anything.

*Level 55 was when the 12-mans came out I believe. I was too little to go anywhere, so I got handmedowne gear from a generous guildy of mine. Was green X and some yellow stats (from HoTO?).

*Level 60 was DoD. I finally got my act together and had saved enough gold and puries to go a couple statted pieces of my own. Nothing was about T4 though and not even close to +6.

*Level 62 I was taken through RT with Vinz and some other Valkyrie members I knew. He lent me some gold (back when dias were 10k each) and I completely got my act together. Everything was now T5, clean statted with RT stats, and +12.

*Levels 65-67 I was on my own, competantly running GCH and some Sardo.

*Level 70, I'm still wearing the same Annelia gear, Shadoj set, and my quest bow (OD, stam innate.. pretty decent bow). My bow is the only thing that's statted with any form of Hero stats. Groups are simply too hard to come by now, that can sucessfully complete ToSHH.

I'm using ch3 gear with ch4 stats at the moment. I upgrade stats as frequently as possible but as for the gear themselves, I care less.

Got here at really late Chapter 3, so got to skip a lot of gearing. I've only been through 1-2 for main gear set, and for the secondary gear set (pants, etc.) as well

Main set : I bought a DL boots with DoD stats from AH and liked the set, so started clean statting when I got my OD DL/ZS gear, with Temple/crimson stats, only T4+1, besides my Bloody Shoulder Guards, which was OD T5+12 (second gear item I bought from AH :))

Now I'm moving on to second set, with Castle/crimson/glorious stats, T5+13, went OD Shell Gear for Chest and OD Tergothern EoJ Shoulders. Hat and Boots have yet to be replaced.


Secondary Set: First set was Hero Cape (with mostly crimson stats like Stam/Def, Hp/mdef :D), unstatted WA healer pants (only realized that it was healer when the druid in party QQ'd, whoops :p), OD Sewage belt with DoD/Wa/RT stats.


Replaced my cape with OD T5+13 Shell cape, Castle/Crimson/Glorious, bought Raksha Set for hands, pants, and Belt, statted with Temple/Tomb/Castle/Crimson/Glorious, pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

Still using Vahtos Set with Temple/Tomb/Castle/Crimson. :( Gave up trying for mento set.

Quest gear, then dirty-DoD statted a ZS/HoDL set, then I started clean-statting stuff, but they released more content before I finished a complete RT set, so I started on GCH/SC gear, and they released more content again. So basically, I've been through 3 half generations of "real" gear. I spent too much money, and WAY too much time, but it wasn't enough of either. I hang around because the game is cool and I have friends, but I don't play or buy diamonds anymore. It makes me sad.

Dirty statted until lvl 55. Got a clean statted HoS healer set with DoD/Temple/Comp. Then got my warrior's Beastman/shell gear statted with crimson/glorious and some bunker/hero. Working on some Annelia's gear now with Glorious/Hero and some Crimson. On another toon, R/W, Atrocity/Shell/Yawaka, full clean statted T6 with Crimson/Glorious/Hero. That's two years of effort and about $175 mostly to buy the large purie packs.

1-49 random quest gear or od greens. started dirty three stating somewhere in the 40's.
50-54 clean statted black thunder set. woot! meats and eyes baby
55-70 hodl/hunters helm/paicha set, eventually started switching to the grafu set. before the paicha i had fury gloves/wodjin pants/deathmatch belt. never had an interest in getting the wa set
70+ three piece huerton's/grafu chest and paicha

only things to be statted more than once was hodl, paicha, degenerate cape and flame dragon set

when i comes to restatting i generally wait two generations before doing so if its gear i know i'll be wearing for some time, ie paicha set. for instance my paicha was wa/temp/tomb and was restatted using bunker/glorious/hero.

I'm a dink, I farmed the Ventis Archmage set and dirty statted it (badly) starting at level 20 and got it completed before I hit thirty. I did mixed Clops and KS in the 50's and got my first purple tiered staff at 50 (Wand of the Artful Gusher, and it was a beauty).

I did full clean dod statted nasty mem stuff from the SJF codex peeps til I was able to farm the OD DL set and a Maxim's chest, and I did the honor cape and WA belt/gloves/pants til we started farming RT dia. Dummy me statted Raksha underdura.

I restatted Vahtos at least twice. I restatted some DL bits til I got the Chapeaunoir set OD. Hmm, I finally farmed all of Raksha and Juggler in OD and statted that, and now I'm just farming ToSH for OD Jenny's and the Aoth set from VN, then I should be done unless they change the 72 side set, as is it looks pretty sad.

I'm a gear ho though. I got addicted to shiny purples as a lowbee and always wanted the best. I think I've probably been through about 4 or 5 full sets total. We don't want to talk about how much I've spent. Don't tell my hubby!

That was kinda a purpose of this thread... I was curious if I am the only one who looks at the new gear coming out with a cap raise and says to myself "you know, the gear is not that much better, and it will be expensive to obtain and to enhance; maybe I should skip this and do the next level".

Sure, that means I cant run the latest and greatest, but I probably could not even if I did upgrade. There is only so much that slightly better gear can do to compensate for fail DPS. :)

Screw you mages having it easy at the 50 cap, I had to get my OD purple dagger from a Binpike, no one wanted to run IDK.

Also I try not to think of how much gear I've gone through, though I skipped the 60 cap since I went to other games etc. so that's one less set of gear for me to have gone through.
