The new Ilvl

[Penguinmayhem]

So to make sure that the new crafting recipes people wanted don't somehow become useful compared to dungeon drops, they've added multiple extra tiers of dungeon drop items to completely outclass them?

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Well, SE have said many times before that they intend to always have the best dungeon/raid drops be superior to the best crafted options.

I think there's something different going on with the soldiery tome gear though. Yoshida's answer was kind of strange that the soldiery tome gear and allagan 2 gear won't necessarily be the same ilvl. To me it's either the same, higher, or lower. Not necessarily equal seems to imply that there are multiple sets with different ilvls, upgrade paths such that they start out different but end up the same, or pieces within the same set have different ilvls than each other.
