So why does the Recommended Gear button keep wanting me to equip a different set of identical gear?

The recommended gear function isnt very smart. It sometimes recommends gear for the wrong class as long as its higher level. If youre using gear sets, its supposed to remember which exact pieces go to which set so this shouldnt be an issue. Gear sets are assigned through the character menu. The button next to the recommend button(looks like a page) is the gear set button. It opens or closes the gear set tab on your character menu. With the tab open, press the plus button at the top and it will create a set out of your currently equipped gear(weapon, job stone, the whole package), giving you the option to name it. Then you can quick swap to that set of gear from this tab at any time you can switch jobs. Creating a set for each class you play is a really good idea. Then later when you get gear upgrades, you can equip them while wearing the rest of the set and use the swapped-arrows(up/down) button right next to the sets tab and it will update the current set with whatever gear changes youve made. The game lets you save a handful of sets more then you have classes unlocked, so you can potentially do a few special-glamour looks too.

I make extensive use of the gear set feature, for sure. I have macros set up to swap gear set, swap UI preset, and summon a minion. The Gear Set feature does remember which piece I have equipped, so I haven't had trouble actually swapping classes. It was just interesting to me that the Recommended Gear feature wouldn't recognize that I was already wearing the suggested gear. Must be a bug. :] Luckily I don't have to equip upgraded gear very often past level 50!
