Gear for different crafting/gathering class: One question

[LuSnow]

Hello All

There is something I keep not understanding 100% clear about gear for crafting and gathering.

I take a concrete example. I have all my gathering activities above level 70: miner, botanist and fisher. I have the armor level 200 from splendor trader.
- Can I use this same armor for all 3 disciplines (they share same attributes)?
- Can I save this armor as a set for each discipline, so as to have a set for botanist, a set for miner and one for fisher, that call however for the same unique armor?

Thanks in advance

1. All gatherers use the same stats, and all crafters use the samer stats. So you can use the same gear, it's just the tools that are different.
2. You still save it as a separate gearset for miner, botanist and fisher, because although they share the same gear, they do not share the same tool.

Saving multiple gearsets is also useful for glamour reasons - for example a christmas botanist and a halloween botanist.

Oh thank you so much. I kept having strange things happening between all the gears in my armoury chest and it was very confusing.

I'm really glad for your confirmation and one of the main reasons behind my question was, as you say, glamour.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I need to double post to re-activate the issue. I wanted to use same gear for my botanist, miner and fisher, but it didn't work.

For example, as a fisher I use a level 200 augmented tackelkeep's cap gear. When I swap to botanist, I can't equip that gear at all. All pieces are disabled in my armoury chest (dark icon), with a blue X in the bottom left corner. So as a botanist, it seems I need to purchase another set?

On the other hand, no problem for the jewels. It's not working only for the gear.

There are two things that could cause this. The first is if your fisher is a higher level than the botanist, so that the botanist can't wear the higher level gear that the fisher can.

The second cause, which is causing your particular issue, is if the gear is in fact just for fisher. It's rare that gear is exclusively for 1 class only, but it does happen in rare cases such as the class-themed gear for each expansion. If you get crafted/vendor or higher level scrip gear it will normally share it between classes.

I recommended looking to see before obtaining gear. When you hover a cursor over the gear, it will say:
FSH
Lv. 60
and what you're looking for is gear that is like:
Disciple of the Land

Thank you very much.
