Crazy Quilt of Gear

Crazy Quilt of Gear

Well, I had a great time the past two weeks visiting my Mom in Virginia. Both of my brothers were able to spend some time with us as well, and other friends and relatives in the area. I got back yesterday and am still a bit fogged at the time difference.

We kept a close eye on all those hurricanes (five if you were counting - Harvey, Irma, Maria, Jose, and Lee). Locally we got some wet weather, but we were far enough out of the line of storms we had nothing to worry about.

I even had some time for Warcraft. Mom never deletes anything from her computer, so I gave warcraft a try one evening. I got all the patches installed and the game loaded, but the PC wasn't up to doing much more than running the Auction House. Chaitee was happy, and Keya managed to stay busy collecting argunite by way of blasting the rock with the Rift Cannon.

Keya and company are now slowly getting their feet back on the ground. Keya was anxious to spend her 650 veiled argunite to buy a relinquished 910 chest piece to replace her i880. Unfortunately it could not be equipped and she had to give it back. Why? Keya didn't have an answer to that, but she tried again the next day and this time it worked. Keya received a very ugly Fel-Treated Chestguard of the Aurora. Ugly as it was, Keya accepted it, replacing her i880 with an i910. Keya howled with joy to see her overall gear score rise from i899 to i901.

On the other hand, who got the crazy idea to make equipping a piece of gear so darned complicated, particularly when relinquished gear is used. What are the rules on what gear can be equipped and under what circumstances?

Take a took a look at the crazy quilt of various types of gear worn by Keya.

Head - 910 relinquished titanforged
Neck - 880 relinquished
Shoulder - 915 Heroic
back - 885 Heroic
Chest - 910 relinquished Fel-Treated Chestguard of the Aurora
Wrist - 880 relinquished
hands - 885 Legion Season 4 warforged
waist - 970 legendary
Legs - 880 dauntless titanforged
Feet - 940 legendary
Finger - 880 relinquished
Finger - 885 warforged
trinket - 880 titanforged
trinket - Legion Season 4 relinquished warforged

And that is only on one character. Fitting gear together is like hunting puzzle pieces. With all these differing versions of gear, one would think there must be some guide that explains what gear is compatible with other gear in order to buy the right piece. Right? Maybe.
