All gear that is just an optimal piece and craft seems to be getting phased out and only way to get them will be to buy from existing player who has them.
There will be new recipes for existing gear. It's not that hard to understand. The old versions with optimal will be lost with the old recipes. It seems like there will now be two versions of the same gear though. One with optimal, one with required.
