Gear

Unattuned Gear
Unattuned Gear was the first step towards giving the player more choice about the loot.

In contrast to Attuned Gear it has a fixed Item Level and fixed stats, but will attune to the [u]current[/u] player charater's role, thus providing a choice whether it should be used for the damage or for the support role.

Elite Gear
Elite Gear was introduced alongside elite content such as elite raids and elite alerts.

Up to the Amazon Fury Part III episode it dropped exclusively as loot from elite content, but was then put onto the episode vendors due to an overall change in the game. The first style set also available as elite was Ancient Amazon Noble. Per episode (cycle) there is one costume set with an elite version.

Elite gear can be easily spotted since the pieces are tagged with (Elite) in their names, so the regular version of Conqueror's Noble Tiara becomes Conqueror's Noble Tiara (Elite).

Attuned Gear
Attuned Gear is the latest addition the game. It is gear which attunes to the player character's combar rating within its item level range.

A gear piece with a minumum item level of 10 and a maximum of 172 will have different stats if used by a player character with CR 53 as if used by one with CR 180.

Using an attuned gear piece will always offer a choice of the resulting piece in damage and support role, no matter which role the player character is currently in.

Trivia

 * One flaw of Attuned Gear so far is, that it does not tell in advance which CR a player character needs to be to get its maximum item level. It needs to be used to find out.
