<p>Hey folks... Itemization has changed so much even since Sentinel's Fate went live, and Game Update 56 is going to change things up again with Blue adornment slots, tweaks to Mastercrafted gear, a Fabled vendor with all the existing group instance Fabled gear, and then the addition of all new Fabled gear on loot tables. Not to mention the 2 new raid zones add what? 20 names and new loot tables? I wrote an article about the <a href="http://eq2wire.feldoncentral.com/2010/03/17/the-itemization-puzzle-part-1/">EQ2 Itemization Puzzle (Part 1)</a> recapping Rise of Kunark and The Shadow Odyssey which got a lot of good response, but I just do not have a complete picture of Itemization in SF at this point. Anything I would try to write at this point would come off as misinformed and outdated. <strong> So I'm asking for some help here.</strong> I'm hoping a few folks will step in with at least a basic outline of just how a level 90 player should be viewing and looking at Itemization after Game Update 56 comes out. From quest rewards and collections worth the plat or effort, to how Manaar and Advanced Manaar gear mix in with stuff dropping in instances, and then the whole Raid picture. I know that some of the armor set pieces drop from contested and that there are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 raid fabled. But beyond this, I need some meat to put on the bones. If you want to help out on an article, either shoot me an <a href="http://eq2wire.feldoncentral.com/contact-us/" target="_blank">e-mail on EQ2Wire</a> or post here in this thread. You can also suggest threads in the Class forums or Itemization forums with useful, up-to-date info and I'll take a look at it. I hope to publish an article 1-2 weeks after GU56 is released.</p>
