Untradable T3 gear

I’m sure there’s been more posts about this already but I haven’t actually seen a response yet.

What’s the reasoning behind making T3 gear untradable?
I’m going two days without a helmet dropping which means my character is stuck in progression Limbo.

My gems are 50% less effective as they claim my itemlevel is too high yet my Una’s tasks only still reward me with T2 gear.
T3 Guardian raids all start at 1302 so I can’t complete any useful one there either, meaning I have to waste a soul each day I don’t get the item.
Two people in my group got the full set in their first dungeon so they get to continue progressing their gear while I’m stuck here praying the next day is going to be my lucky day.

It’s not that I’m running out of content as there’s plenty of collectible stuff I still can do, but it’s an incredible demoralizing feeling when you’re put in this position when you’re trying to play as efficient as possible.

Due to not getting it today all the weekly reset stuff such as buying T3 mats for pirate coins or guild stones is out of the question, even after pushing to get there before the reset.

Why not gives us the option to also buy the gear with the infinite chaos dungeon materials or let us craft them from dismantling other gear

TL;DR Why is T3 gear suddenly untradable, locking people from progressing their character if they get unlucky.

Agree with this. It sucks after getting through the slight wall of honing from T2 only to be stuck in a two day limbo because a single piece of gear didn’t drop in a time gated dungeon.

The alternatives provided of making it tradable or receivable after grinding shards or dismantling other pieces of equipment are feasible too and eliminate the frustration of having to wait a full day to do anything regarding T3. And even then, after waiting a full day, we still might not even get the piece.

As a slight aside, it sucks that it’s time gated as one can miss out on weekly resets of the T3 abyss too.

Has happened to my guild mate also, I swear these were tradable a couple of days ago @Roxx is this a mistake? it hasn’t got much traction yet on the forums but is a huge wall to players if they straight up don’t get drops from their initial T3 chaos runs. T3 gear is tradable in all other versions of the game

it is not tradeable because of the skill trees … end of discussion

and u surely can wait 1 more day its not a sprint

Yeah there’s been a few threads on this topic. Not that much visibility yet because not too many people reached T3. Happened to me on first day, no shoulders.

Not a good feeling and pretty easy to fix.

its still a very dumb thing. The gear is tradable in other regions. Dont defend poor decisions.

I mean you’re just wrong though, the same gear is tradable in both the KR and RU versions to prevent exactly the issue above. its got nothing to do with skill trees, in fact that’s another reason its tradable on other servers, so you can actively seek out the skill trees you want from the player market… That’s not a discussion its a fact.

Also I don’t need to wait I’m fine in T3 farming, I got all my drops on my first day in T3, I was lucky but I feel bad for others who put in the same amount of time getting here that just can’t progress & no guarantees its 1 more day for them, without tradable T3 gear they could be stuck for however long RNG takes to give them a piece, they get a shot at it daily

no , its been a while if i remember correctly the gear was not tradeable at the start of t3 in korea aswell

please dont expect us to get the catch up mechanics here aswell

we might get them once t3 is fully out for 1-2 years

Not sure how you can be defending this poor design decision.

At least in T2, you could bring your average high enough to be able to do guardians/una tasks even if you missed a piece.

If farming tripods is the issue, they can just put the pieces buyable on inf chaos dungeon vendor and put a weekly/roster limit at 1

Only being able to do chaos dungeons until RNG shows you mercy is straight up bad design.

I took this to a discord of other users and your right in that it seems like people only remember it from Argos onward, which we are missing, seems kinda counter productive since Argos is expected to drop relatively soon. I wouldn’t label tradable 1302 as a catch up mech personally and I feel bad for anyone stuck multiple days in T3 unable to even attempt the first guardian due to rng.
