Before Spending Gear Materials

  • Map the full set before you commit rare materials to one slot.
  • Know which threshold or event score line you are actually trying to reach.
  • Review whether the next visible upgrade is also the best strategic upgrade.

Scarcity And Upgrade Decisions

  • Use the Chief Gear calculator to compare balanced and focused routes side by side.
  • Protect rare materials until you know they complete a meaningful target.
  • Think in upgrade paths, not isolated clicks.

Gear Limits And Failure Modes

  • Do not upgrade the flashiest slot without checking the total route cost.
  • Do not assume every tier jump gives equal planning value.
  • Do not separate gear decisions from your event score target.

FAQ

What is the first step before choosing an upgrade order?

Set a target and compare the full material route instead of deciding one slot at a time.

Should I always keep the set even?

Not always, but balanced routes are often easier to sustain. Use the calculator to compare both paths.

Why is this guide linked to event planning?

Because the best upgrade order depends on whether it helps finish a real event target.
