Gear not meeting paragon level since update

[Meteorblade-2266]

What can I do? to get past this problem I have.

First thing to do would be to stop posting this as a bug, because it’s not.

In one of the other threads you’ve made / responded to, I already linked you this…

[ INFO ] - Where does your Combat Rating come from?

Let’s use my hero as an example. He has 36313 Combat Rating… [image] That Combat Rating comes from a number of sources… Set items Set items ranks Legendary items Legendary items ranks Legendary gems Helliquary level Helliquary remains Warband Tableau Here’s the full breakdown of how that total is achieved… Set Item Base CR Rank CR Amulet 1802 192 Belt 1782 164 Gloves 1802 164 Boots 1802 150 Ring 1 1802 164 Ring 2 1802 164 Br…

…which explains that the base CR of the gear items is only a fraction of your overall CR. The other sources are your Warband Tableau, Helliquary level / remains, set item ranks, legendary item ranks, and your legendary gems, i.e. all things which are not linked to drops of set items / legendaries.

The linked thread includes details of why players struggle to catch up…

@Meteorblade-2266

Issues that new / returning players will face attempting to catch up to this Combat Rating…

Set Items

• Obtaining set items comes from running dungeons, accursed tower rewards, codex rewards
• Obtaining set item ranks requires running lots of Challenge Rifts for the upgrade crystals
• Other players can help you with this by carrying you through high level Challenge Rifts

Legendary Items

• Obtaining legendary items comes from running any content, e.g. open world, bounties, dungeons, accursed towers, battlegrounds
• Obtaining legendary item ranks requires huge amounts of materials. Getting all 8 legendaries to Rank 30 will take multiple months of farming.
• Other players cannot help you with this. This is just a hard time-gated grind.

Legendary Gems

• Obtaining legendary gems comes from running Elder Rifts whilst using crests
• Upgrading legendary gems requires gem power (from sacrificing spare legendary gems) and duplicates of the same gem
• This either takes a lot of time (months / years if you’re F2P) or spending real money on buying crests
• Other players cannot help you with this. This is time-gated or behind a paywall.

Helliquary

• Obtaining demon remains comes from running Helliquary Raids. You obtain these rewards from the first five raid bosses you do each reset. (Raid resets are at 03:00 Mondays and Thursdays).
• Obtaining rank upgrades requires Voidblood Slag. This is obtained by salvaging demon remains at the Blacksmith.
• The rank upgrades are therefore hard time-gated due to the fact that the upgrade materials can only be earned twice weekly, in small amounts.
• Other players can help you with this by giving you raid carries, which means the demon remains you have in the helliquary can be high level, but this does not help with the ranking up of the helliquary itself, which is hard time-gated by the availability of voidblood slag.

Warband Tableau

• You will require 8 weapons socketed into the Tableau. These can be a mixture of your own weapons and your warband members’ weapons or you can socket 8 of your own. They have to be ancestral weapons to be socketable. You cannot socket standard legendary, cursed or eternal weapons.
• Obtaining rank upgrades requires spending warband points. It costs 300 WB points per rank upgrade. The weekly soft-cap on WB points is 1000. The weekly hard-cap on WB points is 1500. This means that, at most, you can perform 5 rank upgrades per week.
• Whilst your Tableau’s level is lower than the server’s Tableau level, you will receive bonuses to the amount of CR gained per level upgrade. Once your Tableau level is close to the server’s Tableau level you will no longer receive bonuses. Once your Tableau level exceeds the server’s Tablea level it will be affected by decay, which means each rank upgrade gives less CR increase.
• Other players can help you reach your WB cap each week, but the rank upgrading is hard time-gated by the max WB points available each week meaning you can only do 5 rank upgrades per week.
