Interesting Gear info from Jeff Hickman

Read some interesting gear information on Renown Gear.  If any guildies have seen any of these please post pics!

“Jeff gave me the example of how Ranking vs. Renown Ranking plays into armor sets. This has resulted in players complaining that RvR Renown gear is too weak. When the team went to investigate this issue closely, they noticed that there was a bit of a mis-interpretation of the design.

The renown gear isn’t meant to be the strongest equipment in the game (as many of those players were supposing). It’s there to make sure that players who advance solely through RvR and don’t do quests have access to gear that is similar to what a PvE player would get.

That being said, at the top of each tier in the game there is an RvR armor set of those players that just haven’t really been discovered yet. This armor is actually the most powerful stuff you can get for the tier.

In Tier One, for example, it’s a pair of boots and a breastplate. The boots, it seems, drop from enemy players in open world RvR areas, while the breastplate drops from Battlefield Objective sergeants. Putting those together gives you the best set in Tier One.

In Teir Two, boots drop from enemy players, gloves are bought from a Renown Merchant and breastplates drop from Keep Lords.”
