Required rank on all gear

[Dread]

I wouldn't hold that thought too much longer. With the revamping of attributes.. I'm pretty positive it won't be efficient to equip something so high.

I just now logged in and tested with a Harrier's Jacket. At rank 30 PGL, it gave me a bonus of 4 DEX and 4 VIT. A lower rank armor, R35 Scouting Jacket, has a maximum bonus of 4 DEX 5 VIT. Chances are, if I equipped that, I'd still only get 4 DEX and 4 VIT until I leveled more.

So unless they completely redo the way gear scales, which I highly doubt since it works fine the way it is, then I am still 100% correct.
