It appears a large majority of players want their precious armory to come with them, and I agree it should, so here's my proposal. We have the tier 1 legendary gear like shadow price and level 28 armour. To upgrade these to the next cap, as in 331 damage and 31 armour you would use a drop that's added to the VoG. Call it something like a shard of glass. Now your gear is on par to the tower gear of the current dlc. This format will be repeated every expansion. Then you have your tier 1 raid. This would follow the same format only differing in how you max the gear out. Upon upgrading you need to use radiant mats to max your new and improved gear. This leaves us with a wider variety of selection and can be repeated. The tier two/tier one upgraded gear can progress to the level of the tier 3 gear by the same manner. Running CE you receive a fragment of the husk which upgrades your gear. Now in the HoW raid you use it's upgrading mat, let's call them divine mats, to max out your gear. This offers repeatability for each raid and a wide selection of gear pay l past the exotic slot. I also personally feel the raid drop, shard/fragment/etc., should be a mandatory trade in to receive the new tier tower gear. If this were the case there should be a way for PvP to get them on their own way though. To stop confusion: the how to guide for upgrading legendaries Step 1: own tier one legendary gear Step 2: run the VoG to achieve a [b]shard of glass[/b] [i]shard of glass has a 50% drop rate on each loot table and chests to be determined in normal and 75-100% hard[/i] Step 3: return to your new fav bfffeae: [i]best friend for -blam!-ing ever and ever[/i] The gunsmith, using a [b]shard of glass[/b] and possibly other materials to be determined upgrade your tier one item of choice. Step 4: in the case if tower bought gear, use ascendant mats to level up gear. In case of raid gear use next raids material(CE uses radiant I gave HoW a placeholder of divine) Step 5: when HoW drops enter CE obtain a [b]fragment of the husk[/b] Step 6: back to your bfffeae to upgrade your gear once again Step 7: refer to step 4. Any questions?
