General

info abt the new black gate gear, its quite good

All blackgate equipments r psokable.

best piece: glove, which is the only lv120 common glove.
2nd best: face, which is the only obtainable 3rd tier common face(white premium face is literally non obtainable)
3rd best: rings/shoulder. good stat and not unique equip gear like gollux. good for mule

You dont need do quest to get those gear, just kill the boss and it will drop but at low rate. <3

@invulgo: I was going around Henesys with that outfit, and everyone was backing away, breaking their F6 keys.

[quote=megascience]@jerry5000 @09080706l: Thanks. I started CC'ing and got the mask after a few tries. I bought a clean Branch Nose and anviled it onto it, because I wanted to keep it tradeable so I'm not losing an equip slot on it (So many untradeable equips I don't want to lose):

That ring is looking really nice: all class, psokable, 2 slots, and 12 stars? <3

Here's the set. As it's a common set, it works okay for low-level Xenon because he'll get more stats from starforce. I also don't think the full set is worth it, but maybe collecting just some parts of it could be useful. The first map, and the Western Battlefield map that is next to it are the best. If the boss doesn't spawn in ~15 seconds, move to the next map, or change channel if both are empty. I'd recommend Spiders, greed pendants, and drop rate in your inner potential, as well as 2x drop rate event. You also need to kill the bosses on a high level to kill enough bosses. It's still possible to get the equips on non-2x drop events, but you can go ~15 bosses easily without getting any drops.

Also, the shoulder comes with 1slot.

[quote=risingrain]The ring is literally almost on par with an LGR for the 4th ring slot.
A fully primed LGR is 12 base + 30 scrolls + 19 Star Force = 61 all stat, and 16 attack.
For this ring, let's say you get one 1 above average. 6 attack, 7 all stat, 4 slots remaining.
If you scroll all 4 slots with primes and then Star Force it (Star Force @ 12 stars is 31 all stat), you get:
7 base + 40 scrolls + 31 Star Force = 78 all stat, with 6 attack. You now have 17 all stat over the LGR.

Now, let's be inventive. Let's say you trade 2 prime slots for iCoG slots. You're down 20 stat, so now you're at 58 all stat, 6 attack.
2 iCoGs should be sufficient to grant you the measly 3 stat that you lost back, so we'll say you're at 61 all stat, 6 attack, 2 slots remaining.
If you get 3 attack on each slot, you have 12 attack on a ring. 4 attack lower than an LGR. And the ring is free.[/quote]

Pretty sure most people get an LGR for the same reason they get ink and wash rings. But the math does add up.

@megascience

WHen I got mine and equipped it, I didn't like it that much. The main reason being the misaligned eyes.

Could anyone elaborate on the way bosses spawn at Blackgate? I'm trying to figure it out. I noticed bosses spawning in pairs or trios, but always dropping just mesos despite having my droprate on. It'd be easier if I knew how to cause boss spawns so I didn't feel like I was wasting my time killing entire maps for like 15 minutes at a time.[/quote]

I believe they spawn in 30 minute intervals and in trios. I've gotten 2 masks and 5 rings from channel surfing. I've also gotten the shoulders but the other pieces seem quite elusive.

boss just spawn in certain map(6 in total i think),
there r 2 type: group one: asura and khan, group two: the rest 3 cant remember their names.
usually they all spawn at once in 1 map, or they respawn one by one after u kill one of them.
if u have killed one and waited for like more than 1min then its not gonna spawn so just keep moving.

yeah the drop rate is low usually u just get meso bags

Well, the next best alternative for face is SW, which is soulbound.
