Gundabad Gear Finder
By Squirle – Updated for Update 35 with a few U36 notes.
The gundabad gear finder and upgrade is designed to be as compact and complete as possible. Find whatever slot or gearpiece that would be the most convenient or the most impactfull to upgrade for your character.
At the top you will find the overall source of different gear such as questing, crafting, delving or instances. To the left you’ll see the quality of gear by colour and item level. And as you go down the list you’ll see what difficulty of an instance or delving you would need to run to have a chance to get them.
In the Free are guaranteed sources such as quest, allegiances etc. In other are other sources or more expensive barter options.
Jewelry
Jewelry is divided into two groups at the moment if not from free sources. They come from a specific 3 or 6-man in yellow or purple. With teals from Ember or T4+. These are all outclassed by Hiddenhoard T2 (unlockable to barter) for embers.
Or if you have access to Return to Carn Dum you can skip Gundabad instances and go for purple jewelry for starters. Eventually Carn dum and gwathrenost outpace Hiddenhoard teals. Especially if you have access to the set bonus earring from CD 3-mans or the raid set bonus pieces. However no barter available at the release of U36.
It’s very much possible to get (select) capped stats without the raid, but you’ll find yourself at a lot lower morale once you reach the Final portion without. It can be hard to find groups for higher tier 3 and 6 mans at the moment.

Armour
Armour is easier to get then jewelry at the moment with the introduction of delving in the Before the Shadow expansion. It’s quicker and easier to do these then to find runs for Good gear.
Skipping over anything and landscape can be done by passing gear over from other characters or crafting. This will allow you to run delving 4+ to get any missing pieces. Then either by jumping into some easier Delving 7 missions or finding a partner you can quickly gather up some fancy teal 480 armours.
For the Final part however, if you want to do the raid. You’ll need the raid set. For pvmp you’ll need the Tier 4 pvmp armour. This is where the long nights begin.

Same goes for ember boxes. Teal instead of purple, but only offensive or defensive shields.

Class items are available from crafting. Can be traded through players or the AH.
However superior purple drop from Sagroth T2+. With teal starting at T3 and gold from T4+
From the instance of Sarn Vorn a purple necklace can drop. With a purple cloak from the Skirmish Doom. These can be upgraded through the delving system barterers. The required components can come delvings, skirmishes or bartered.
These two items are the only ones that have a special slot for the new class essences (only from Skirmish). These are all related to 6-man and raid versions of the skirmish on Tier 2 or 3.
The gwathrenost raid set pieces also have class essence slots specifc for the cloak and necklace. These essences themselves dont mix though. And come from the T4 and above.
