Crafting 130+ Visionary Storm Gear

After all the hype we have been seeing online about the new crafted Level 130+ gear that’s available in Empyrea part II, I streamed to Nimbus Citadel and talked to Romar to see for myself if this is truly the next level game changer gear everyone has been anticipating. Romar is located to the far right as you enter the Nimbus Citadel.

Each school has a choice of one hood, robe, and boots. To craft these you will need to be a Visionary Level Crafter and have a Equipment Crafting Station. Simple enough. I’m shopping for storm gear for this post. Always the first question that comes to mind about gear is what do I give up and what do I gain. For instance the helm.

As an avid crafter it is disappointing to see another missed opportunity to add some recipes to the game that could have boosted more players to a competitive level and taken crafting PVE/PVP gear to a new level. It has been many, many worlds since the gear recipes were designed to be an equivalent of the dropped gear such as the Grizzleheim recipes vs the Waterworks drops.

So for now the anticipation as we anxiously wait for the next level gear will continue to grow.  If history repeats itself then KI should be releasing a new side dungeon in the near future.

Until the next time, I hope you all take care of each other and I wish you all peace & prosperity. I’m out.
