Obsolete Cra Gollux equips

It's obvious these equips will eventually become obsolete like the empress equips, lv30 rings, and other old equips. So i'm wondering if they already became obsolete in other maplestory versions already...

Unless there's another set that uses a top-bot combo, CRA gear will never go out of style.
Plus, GMS is gonna have to work pretty damn hard to out do Tyrant gear.

The reason CRA is the end-game gear is because it allows room for Tyrant equipment, and it has a top/bottom for better potential. To have a set replace CRA would mean it would either have to be only 4 pieces again (And look like a cop-out in the meanwhile) so you can use Tyrant equipment, or have a full set that is stronger than Tyrant and it's superior quality (Or have the entire set be Superior).

I might be putting too much emphasis on Tyrant, but it is excessively strong IMO.

Some people thought that Sweet H2O equips would be end-all be-all because of the higher tier level, but it just turns out Faf is THAT good.

Some really rich people enhance Tyrants to 15 stars and then transpose to SW for the set effect along with the stat boosts. I've never seen an example of that in RL, but I'm not entirely sure if that's even an option.

There's an overall that allows you to hit a 100m damage cap in TMS I believe.

If you hit max damage with your equips now, would it matter if you had better equips later? Max damage is still max damage.

The gollux rings beat out the level 30 ones because of pot tier, and sheer stat increase with Gollux Scrolls. So for them to be obsolete, Nexon would have to make rings that go into 4th pot tier, and/or have a better set bonus. The Alice rings are certainly interesting, but seem to be more difficult to get.

Not really. Unless they increase the damage cap there isn't any reason to upgrade beyond cra/gollux/tyrants

You should never buy any equips, because they will all be obsolete in the end!

TMS is the only other version that has Gollux (I think?), and CRA is the main choice of armor/weapon in most other versions.

empress went obsolete cus of the top/bot availability at 150, new gollux 130 rings > lvl30 rings etc.
unless there is some amazing new tier level, chances are, gollux and CRA won't go obsolete. hence max ranges
