I've been reading around and getting mixed messages, so a quick question. I was under the impression that the idea of gatherer gear is to get 60 gear from the market board, then collect red scripts until I get the "end game" gear, which for me would be miner.

I made the assumption of getting the crafted gear as HQ and melding them. So far I have about half the gear, lacking the MH, OH, body and few accessories. When reading up though, I'm noticing many buy NQ then upgrade to red script gear. And then others say melded HQ is better then even the script... Which I think is great, saves me a lot of effort aside making money to afford the gear.

Can I get some opinions on what to do? Thank you
