You mean like here:

Yup that! Sorry I didn't saw the other thread before posting this.

Thats what happens when you get a direct copy-paste. The original piece couldn't have a necklace because it already had one. The new piece can't have one because it's still the same piece. Just with the necklace either deleted or made invisible.

Pretty sure this is the answer.

Yeah. Was pretty awkward/sleazy. Just not my style of humour at all.

I'm pretty sure the event items are recolours because SE knew the Shisui stuff would be popular and want to be able to sell it on the cash shop starting next year. Perhaps they'll prove me wrong and we'll see a craftable version as leveling sets in the next expansion but my instinct says this was a choice motivated by greed.
Doesn't affect me since I dislike the sets anyways.

I guess this is probably the main reason we get what we have for this event. That and maybe cutting corners to save development time due to SB release. /sigh

The whole SB expandsion is a cut corners, the full thing is just copy/paste content we got in HW..

4 runs where each has a weekly drop? check
gimmicky mechanics we seen before while putting them in a different order? check
450 tome copy/paste? check
mass reused gear/color reskin/item icons? check
But hey.. tome icons are different, guess all the effort of development went there.

They are still missing some place that has 3 different runs in it (released at different patches) on weekly limit of some gear that is the same ilevel as the 450 tomes, along with having some currency bloat item to upgrade the current 450 tome gear to 10 ilevels.

kk since I know what is gonna happen for the next 2 years, can we just skip it and go 5.0?
