Raising gear score to 600

[Doc]

Is this even possible anymore? I've killed thousands of level 60+ mobs since the last update, have over 30 luck points on my gear, 2 small and 1 medium luck trophy in my houses and have not moved up a single point.

from the dev blog

Not all enemies and containers (including Event Reward Containers from Outpost Rush, War, Invasions, etc.) are created equal in the case of the HWM system. [...] while you’ll reliably see HWM increases up to GS 530 when defeating Level 61 enemies, your chances of seeing something beyond GS 530 from a Level 61 enemy is significantly lower than it is from a Level 62 enemy. Level 64+ enemies are capable of reliably dropping gear up to GS 600.

are you killing those 64+ enemies?

Isn't a lovely feeling knowing you got gimped while others benefited. Honestly the whole system is bullsh*t in the first place but at least be fair to those who didn't get the same chance.

Hundreds of them were level 64+ named elites. And I'm typically solo or duo doing them.

I think the only way is to craft it but I’m not sure plus you can just buy it on the market lolllll

[Doc]

The best stuff is bind on pickup and people tend to keep the best of what can be sold within their group. The market on my server is pretty much nonexistent with the ~100 people left playing.

Every slot of gear has it's own watermark, helmet/gloves/boots etc and also including every weapon staff/sword/hatchet they have their own individual watermark. Once you get your first 500 gearscore drop you will then be able to get up to like a 505, and once you get a 505 you will be able to get 510s etc for every slot of gear, including jewelry.

Needs to be level 64+ areas to drop 590+ gear. Doing elite chests runs every day is the easiest way of getting it up, except right now chests are broken and aren't dropping armor pieces only weapons.

I am 600 in almost every slot just missing a few weapons and all jewlery, anything I kill 64+ or chest in those zones will give me a minimum of like 575-580 gearscore drop for 90% of my slots.

Yes, it did, but you can't see it. To increase your watermark you just need to drop items with higher GS on the ground after killing enemies, but each type of weapon and piece of armor has it's own watermark, so you can drop a head gear 580GS and a leg gear 510GS. The range between the items are -9GS and +5GS (depending on min and max, of course) so if you drop a boot 550GS, this means you are able to drop boots between 541GS and 555GS, but that doesn't mean YOU WILL drop a boot 551GS and increase your watermark.

Literally just keep dropping, that's the answer, eventually you'll reach 600.

They fixed Lazarus and Genesis. The bosses will now always drop gear that will increase your watermark.

It won't be what you want, but something will.

AGS had to stop us from getting to 600GS so fast this is why they gated us with this suppose mistake but in reality it was intended to buy a week or two of time.

We*ve got a daily Elite Run through reekwater and shattered mountain. Ive been doing those the 4th week now more or less every day. Im currently at 570 armor pieces anf 550 weapons. Its a daily 3 hour grind but its worth it.
