Blue is starting to give details on a new armor set for each class that will be available with patch 1.10. This armor will be a mix of blues and purples between the current dungeon set and the tier 1 set. Here are some details:
From Tseric:
"We are working on content that is basically a "Dungeon 2" set. It's current concept is additional quest content and a resulting armor set. Unfortunately, there are no specifics on the armor or stats as of yet. The acquisition of the pieces varies, with the largest group participation being no larger than a UBRS run. "
""Heh, yeah I realize that. The devs are aiming for stats of comparable quality to an MC set. This could result in a mixture of blues and purples. Again, things haven't been finalized, but the color purple will be involved. "
"I agree with the first statement, but not so much with the second. It is a "Dungeon 2" set because of the methods by which it can be obtained. There never was a "Tier 0". Those terms were only applied to raid instance gear like MC or AQ and "Tier 1" was the initial standard for raid gear.
"Dungeon sets were something that you could accomplish with small groups (and to be sure, something developed as precedent). Dungeon 2 sets are something we want to involve quest chains, item collection and smaller group dungeons. Should raiders wish to acquire this set, it should pose no significant "disruption" to the game economy or otherwise. It is intended as a wholely seperate manner of progression. "
In addition, there will be a new 3 piece set with AQ20 (wep, cloak, ring) and a new 5 piece armor set with AQ40 when the AQ gates open.
