Starter Gears

Cheap, Starter Gears

These are generic cheap starter gears that are applicable to all classes. They are easy to hunt for basic lv 80 non-trans characters without much gear, or they are very cheap to buy from players. These items may not be sold in vend due to their low value, but ask a player on chat/discord and they should be available for buying/trade. These gears are advised to maybe keep at just safe refine to not over-commit to them, with the expectation that they should be replaced with better gears later.

Green Apple Ring is easy to obtain from a mid-tier mob yet is generically useful, especially before you have any cards
Matyr's Leash is upgraded to have a small effect to boost healing rate of Meat. It's good early game as a source for cheap healing items.
Celebrant's Mitten is upgraded to be a worse Phen card, so if Phen is needed early on, this can be considered.
Pantie and Undershirt is not customized in effect but their sources are. Requiem is the new source for non-slotted Undershirt so the combo is easy to assemble for everyone.
Flower Wings has niche use as it's easily the highest default raw DEF and MDEF even at safe refine due to the Double Wing Effect. However, most of the time players prefer elemental armor instead.
Aerial Wings, Arctic Wings, Gaia Wings and Phoenix Wings are cheap access to elemental armor without hunting for its cards, while being a decent defense rating for every class when elemental armor is needed.

Blacksmith Forged Equipment should be reconsidered in heRO due to its buffs, which should help your early game better for classes that can utilize them.
