With the coming of reset there’s going to be vendors introduced that will offer all Tier 1 set items and half of the Tier 2 set items for Tarnished Undermine Reals currency.

There’s no plans to further expand the tokens available at this vendor, so the current raids in the roster will remain viable and worth running. But this should give an accessible point for new players and alts to get some crucial gear and get into groups focused on end-game content.

For what pieces are going to be available specifically and how much they cost, check out the original post by Kaivax below.

We’ve been extremely excited watching both existing players and brand new players level fresh characters in Season of Discovery these past several weeks since we made rune abilities purchasable on the Rune Broker.

With Phase 7 coming up fairly soon, we’re looking at ways to help new player-characters get caught up and ready for this new content. The role-specific set bonuses are incredibly impactful in Season of Discovery and a large part of player power, so we’re making all eight Tier 1 set tokens, and the belt, bracers, boots, and glove tokens for Tier 2 available on the Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor. Prices will be as follows:

Tier 1 Wrists/Waist/Hands – 15 Tarnished Undermine Reals
Tier 1 Feet/Shoulders – 20 Tarnished Undermine Reals
Tier 1 Chest/Legs/Head – 25 Tarnished Undermine Reals
Tier 2 Wrists/Waist/Hands/Feet – 35 Tarnished Undermine Reals

This should allow new and existing players catch up on the Tier 1 and Tier 2 set bonuses they might be missing in preparation for the new content.

We do not want to totally invalidate older raid content. We currently have no plans to expand the raid equipment present on the Undermine Real vendor, and we’ve focused this change exclusively on giving newer characters access to set bonuses that may be critically impactful to their character progression.

These will become available with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.
