    Then you really don't know much. My advice is solid - it's easier to get blue lv54 gear with good stats than unique lv55 gear with good stats. You don't want to use unique lv55 armor set with no HP rolls, even though it has more defense than lv54 blue gear. If you get unlucky with crafting your lv55 unique gear, then just stick with lv54 blue gear until you get full GC with decent stats and HP rolls on at least 2-3 pieces of armor.


    I've seen way too many people who followed the idiotic meta of getting mk3/raid/lv55 unique gear, then go for GC dungeon. Their offensive and HP rolls were most often terrible, because it takes a long time to craft full unique set, so they only crafted it once and rolled with it. Result? They had more defense, sure, so they took maybe 20-25% damage less than with lv54 blue set. But most often, they weren't lucky with HP and offensive rolls, so they died more quickly than if they had lv54 blue gear with HP rolls, AND they did less damage because no good offensive rolls on their lv55 unique gear.


    The best way to go is to craft one unique set (or a mix between mk3/raid/shion/etc., as the set bonuses aren't that great) and if it has decent stats, use it until getting full GC with decent HP/offensive rolls. But if your first lv55 unique gear is terrible with stats, then you'll be better off getting lv54 blue gear with good stats (which is easy to do, it drops all the time and market will be flooded with those gears in a matter of weeks since server launch).

    if we're going into that road then, I don't think you know much as well. My point is clear, I don't agree to your advice and it's not so wise to give that kind of advice to a newbie player. Plus you don't have to repeat yourself, you already explained these more than once.

    Level 54 blue gear with good stats is better than level 55 gear with bad stats. I had a whole GC set crafted, but I didn't use it because it had worse stats than my level 54 blue gear. If you get lucky and get good stats on mk2/mk3/raid gear/etc, then it's marginally better than lv54 blue gear. But if you're unlucky, then just stick to lv54 blue gear with good stats, it's much faster and easier to get and is more than enough to get you through all endgame content.


    But what do I know, I only spent one year playing the game.

    first of all, do you really need to give that useless information about your play time? I've played this game for a fairly long time myself plus if it's working out for you, it doesnt mean that it's gonna work out for someone else. you're giving those advices to people who just started the game. I still can't see any good reason to compare 54 blues to 55 sets but what do I know

    For the unique (yellow/gold) craftable set, each piece drops in a different dungeon, on maniac mode (episode 4). If you keep running only Ark Ship ep4, then you won't get the whole set. The drop rate of those is so low that I wouldn't recommend wasting time getting that set, get GC instead.

    so you're gonna skip raid set and mk3 set as well and go straight to gc when you hit 55. good luck dude

    I did all raids and 100 runs of GC with blue level 54 gear and around 30-35k HP. You DON'T need unique gears, or mk2/3, or raid gear to do that content.


    Get blue lv54 gear from Ark Ship (it drops quite often and sells usually cheap) with good stats (HP, crit rate, crit dmg, penetration, etc) and you'll be fine for all endgame content apart from Primal (for which you need GC set).

    you almost sound like you did all that content all by yourself, plus no gear is required if a dungeon doesnt have a time limit and you can dodge but is it really convenient to run with 54 level gear? I don't see any good side to it

    For the unique (yellow/gold) craftable set, each piece drops in a different dungeon, on maniac mode (episode 4). If you keep running only Ark Ship ep4, then you won't get the whole set. The drop rate of those is so low that I wouldn't recommend wasting time getting that set, get GC instead.

    most of your summaries are wrong tho.

    and think it like this. people say tera is p2w because you can sell cash and buy the end game items from broker. in games like these where skill is important having the end game gear doesnt make you better than others really. one such example is there was a guy in tera, he bought all the top-tier set from broker and no one accepted him to party because he was really bad at the game. he was forced to change it's nick and character appearance for that. same can be said about this game as well.

    I thought game was delayed several months to prevent things we're experiencing now. They said they are delaying to make the open beta more polished but we can't even properly play. What was the point of delay then?

    Edit: I get it. Just stop please
