It's only the main weapon/tool. Just this morning, I went through 3 of my level 15 DoH sets. The shirt was missing for every one. Every one successfully equipped, just with unexpected sexiness and a warning. I also had this happen with pants, wrists, and gloves just this weekend. If the neck slot is a problem, it's an exception, not the rule.

Ah, ok, maybe it was a fluke or a bug. It was a while ago that that happened. I haven't seen the issue recently with anything other than main hand weapon/tool, but I hadn't realized that that was the standard rule.

Good point. Then even an information window showing all sets the gear belongs to could work. Something like the information windows that pop-up for items, or skills in the hot bar / cross bar. But regardless a mark needs to be there. I was just making gear sets on my PC after switching away from PS3 and ran into the issue you are talking about needing to equip multiple crafts with the same gear. It's just a small quality of life change but it would make things so much easier.
