... not sure what you mean by the free re-rolls on legacy/ships cargo hold either
Thanks
The Gem of Many Facets...
When you make it epic.. it becomes a part of 2 different effect/bonus sets,
1 Chrono and 1 Sands/Fens/VoN
The Chrono Set is 3 or 5 piece, while the S/F/V is 2 piece (I believe)
That combo of sets can be CRUCIAL in the difference between a good gear set and a really GREAT gear set.
Make your GoMF epic... then take to you cargo hold Altar of Epic Change... if you use it on the altar, it will reset and get a different random set.... and you can reset it as many times as you want.
Read the release docs... figure out what sets you want for your Gem, and spend a few minutes re-rolling... it really doesn't take all THAT long to get the set combo you want.
Remember, you can only get 1 Chrono Set effect and 1 other
The 5 piece Chrono really isn't worth it... 3 piece is the way to go along with 2 piece other.
Use this along with some nice favorite bits and bobbles from various gear available and you should be quite happy with the results.
Mind you, it's a bit of gear-tetris to figure out what piece of equipment is 'best in slot' because of the effects it brings to the party... don't get too attached to having something somewhere JUST because it's what you've always had... a little research might bring an even better item into play that has better results over-all.
And don't forget, almost ALL coveted effects can be supplied via augment now, not to mention crafting opened up a bit as well. So craft an item on a 2 slot blank and you can really stack your boosts
