BiS on SS-SSS Tier

 * For new players or those that has yet to craft new SSS Weapons and Gears, the below recommendations are still considered as BiS at SS tier even until SSS tier.

The stats are rank in this order: Atk > Crit chance > Crit damage > Skill damage > Attack speed


 * The reason Necklace Containing Mana is better than the Fox Dog-tags is because of the 3k flat attack (at SS tier Lvl. 50), doesn't look like much but is a big part of your base attack.

BiS on SSS Tier (Skill Crit >= 100%)

 * Since the addition of SSS Gears, the chance to increase stat values to maximum has also opened up. Having said that, there have been ongoing community discussions regarding minor changes on BiS once your Critical rate (specifically the hidden Skill Crit Rate stat) goes beyond 100% on which any more addition (overcapping) does not give any more benefit.

When your computed Skill crit rate is already at maximum (100%) then it is advisable to invest to Skill Damage instead to maximize power gains. This is usually true for end-game players who have already maxed out costumes, relics, masteries, skill runes, energy orb (RNG) and has good monster card deck.
 * This is actually a complex topic to discuss since there are a lot of factors to consider when computing for Skill crit rate which includes those Crit rate gained from Ability of Transcendence (on top of other previously mentioned sources).

One sure-fire way to know when you are ready for the shift of BiS is to have BiS SSS Red Star Weapon at Lv 100 along side with other BiS SSS 3 Yellow Star / 1 Red Star Shoes/Necklace/Ring gear at high level (or Lv 100). By this time, the gear Crit stat is surely high enough and you have 4/5 slots of Transcendence Abilities for additional Crit roll.

Introduction to SSS Gears
In Patch 1.2.60, SSS Gears and Transcendence system have been introduced to the game which promise more possibilities and build varieties. This new gear system is so vast that we expect gear farming to take several months up to a year for F2P players just to completely max out every gear/tier/transcendence there is -- more than enough for everyone to be pre-occupied not only in key farming but also with gear farming from now on.

With regards to Best in Slot (BiS):
Since there is no change to the base stats of gears, the current BiS are still considered to be the best and are recommended for upgrading to SSS tier and transcending to higher levels/tier.

How to get SSS gear and transcended SSS gear:
Currently, the only known way to acquire SSS gear is via Upgrade process wherein you will be needing 4 SS gear of same equipment type to produce the SSS gear of that equipment (e.g. 4 SS Sword to 1 SSS Sword).

There is also the new Transcendence (or Star) system for SSS gear wherein you will need a specific no. of SS gear of same equipment type to produce the transcended SSS gear of that equipment.

Ability of Transcendence:
This new feature will be available to all SSS gear and no. of transcendence ability slots depends on the star level of the gear. The transcendence ability are considered to be additional stat buffs and class (quality) highly depends on acquired ability tier (e.g. from C-SSS class). - Stats are given randomly via RNG mechanics thru rolls similar to Monster Card mechanics, but with improved rates based on gear's star level. - Roll tokens (or dice) can be acquired thru Equipment Dungeon Lvl 16-30.

Here you can see how many transcendence ability or stat buffs you can put on SSS gear. Below is the table of Stats provided by Ability of Transcendence, and corresponding class chance rate per gear star level.

Blacksmith of Transcendence:
Another gear system that have been introduced is the Blacksmith of Transcendence system which requires the SSS tier of the 3 different gear variety of same equipment type (e.g. for Sword you need SSS Steel Sword, SSS Light Sword and SSS Barbarian's Sword) to get specific Transcendent Buffs based on the total level of the 3 SSS gear. Note: You won't lose any SSS gear when unlocking Blacksmith of Transcendence via pressing the Unlock button. For example: Looking at the picture below, you will see 3 different Daggers all at level 60. Since the total level is 180 then the Level 60, 120 and 180 Transcendent Buffs have been unlocked.
