Green,blue, and purple gear now

Ok in some ways i like the new gear progress basically 1 cr high over whats equiped untill you max out the green blue or purple. I think there should be something added to it if we are going to keep the colored different gear. I stead of everything getting a boost of 1. Green should get the boost of 1 until its max. Blue should get 2 until its max and purple should be a boost of 3 until its max. Or really there isnt much of a point or the different color gear . Example in the starro event all colors are the zone ender style and no other style except whats in the vender and tc. Why?

Zonewalker style is a hero only style that can be gotten very early in the game.

I don't think I understand your problem with the way these style pieces scale. Would you mind explaining it again?

The colors do make a difference even though all 3 scale. They don't necessarily step up your CR each time. You have to pay attention to what you're attuning and the order you do it in. All of them scale to your average item level (not the level of the item you're replacing). Green items will be 2 items levels above your average... blue 3, purple 4 and capsule gear 5. It has to be on the average otherwise you could have 5 of one piece and keep stepping up. You'd end up with a lopsided set. The system is trying to even out the full set of what you're wearing.

Think capsule gear is same as purple gear. But otherwise yeah what she said.

Oknto clarify. For years green was the lesser gear lowest of the low blue was middle qnd purple was the better gear . The issue is while leveling or gearing up there is no difference in the gear except for the max cieling that it can become example green when atuned to your character can be the same as blue and purple unless you hit the max of 162 gear equiped. My point is the purple should do more then green or blue

Purple does more than green and blue.

No infact it does not unless you are past the max cr raising of 162 or 163 but lets say you are a 150 moving up it would only raise you by 1 point at a time so unless you are at the max cr of blue or green it does nothing in addition of blue and green

I think that really all depends on the piece of equipment being replaced. (note: the below numbers are just made up and are used to show something that may or may not be a thing and under the assumption that we are talking about the Starro event gear)
Let's say you have:
Head - 77
Shoulders - 77
Chest - 76
Back - 77
Hands - 60
Waist - 79
Legs - 65
Feet - 75

Now if you get a purple head, shoulder, chest, back, waist, and feet, the boost will be no where near in stats then if you get a purple set of hands or legs. But more than likely you would still get a boost, even if the stat increase is only like 1 or 6.

Some people apparently still just attune whatever drops as soon as it drops. If you want a drop to be more significant, you attune only if a drop is your lowest CR item, and if it isn't your lowest CR item, stick it in your inventory or bank and wait for it to be your lowest CR item. Even greens are typically 3 CR higher than what I am wearing even when raising cr in AF3 content if I'm replacing the lowest piece.

Or, you know, just attune whatever drops when it drops and when the CR isn't any better (or possibly even worse) than what you are wearing, start threads complaining on the forums. That's another way to go I guess.

Again the both of you are missing the point when you open a peice of gear right now there is no difference unless you are at the highest cr no jump so as the next dlc with newer gear comes out you will see the same kind of numbers green if opened at the same time a purple you 2ill get no difference in that one piece of gear. Example green chest or purple you are currently a 155 chest on the next chest will only be 1 cr higher no matter if it is green or purple and now that most of us have had af3 out so long we have all of our gear about the same so you have no gear that is dramatically lower to replace

The gear that is dropping in the starro event atm has a max level and even if we were to save it until the next DLC we would not get a boost in CR (assuming we have the highest CR atm).

Ok let me try one last time lets say you have 155 chest and all of your gear is still a 155. While in an i stance you get the same gear one purple one green and one blue if you opened them all they would attune to the same exact cr there is no difference when you are not at the max cr for that gear. Green will advance you the same as purple u less that is the point of you being at the max cr for that green piece. They do the same 1 cr thats it

This, right now, is a top reason I would never come back to play.

I've never seen such a discombobulated system. Though I'm not surprised as this game has always done everything possible to make the most simple into the most ridiculous.

Blue gear is always 1IL higher than green, and purple is always 1IL higher than blue, no matter your CR.

Check out this calculator to see what ILs the gear will attune to.

Here is a detailed guide about how the attuned gear stuff works ==> Amazon Fury 3 Gear Progression Guide. I would also recommend you use Odyssey's CR Calculator , particularly the part at the bottom that let's you calculate at what Item level an unattuned piece will open at according to your current CR.

I gave you a link to the detailed guide, but here is a very basic break down of how you should open unattuned gear:
Just basically follow the Monthly Episode gearing schedule.
1st set:
Chest
Legs
Back
Waist
Replace the lowest of those 4 first to see the best results...keep replacing from this set first unless a particular piece from the next two sections are ridiculously low (like an old utility belt, weapon, ring or face mask).

2nd set:
Head
Shoulders
Hands
Feet
Do the same as with the first set, lowest piece first.

3rd set:
Weapon
Rings
Face Mask
Utility Belt/Role Trinket (these two items count for the same slot, so if your role trinket is a higher item level, it overrides the item level provided by the utility belt...this is handy to remember for those chasing the current OP Utility Belt. )

Replace in that order, with the lowest piece first, and keeping in mind that Green will net you the lowest item level with Blue getting better and Purple being the biggest boost. The game will only display whole numbers, so use the cr calculator to see how you are progressing.

It's not as difficult as you're making it out to be...it's just a little confusing since we were accustomed to a static system. Once you get it it's easy and much more convenient...especially since it means that all color levels of gear can have value much longer than in the old system.

I see your point and I don't like this system either. While not maxed out on cr, you cannot have all pieces the same cr because your cr will be increasing so the next piece you open will be higher. Now, at max level like af3 if you are all max 164, your cr has continued to increase while your gear is not so when we get higher drops, then that piece you open will be a lot higher.
So for example, 164 is obtained at 184cr, that's for the first piece, once all are 164, you go up to 188cr. Like me, I'm 192 so that's +8cr that the current gear can't attune to as it's capped at 164. I haven't done the math but let's say I get a chest and it will attune to 172 because my cr is so high and is much higher than +1 or +2. I hope that clears a few things up for you.

I'm sure it is... if you've been playing full time during the transition or follow these boards on a daily basis.

A new person coming in, or a former player, would have zero idea what's going on.

Dude i am not talking about your overal cr change i am talking about the idividual gear thats it its like you completely tapdance around the point dont over think just open your ears look at the individual gear try it sometime and you will see and yes incase you want to go this way if the one piece of gear is lower then all others then it will jump multiple levels but that isnt what i am talking about just to get the gear when 3verything is equal that same gear will only go up by 1 cr no matter the color of it thats it
