regarding the future changes for rank7-r10 pvp gear

[creutz]

Hi there,

i have a few questions about the info concerning the future updates and changes of the pvp gear, mainly for the rank7 to rank10 pvp-sets.
as stated in https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4 "Once ZG has been released, new PvP items will be available (R7, R8, R10), and R12/R13 items will be updated, in line with the stats known after 1.11 patch."
these gear parts will not get an update as the rank 12 and 13, but it still leaves some questiones unanswered.

since the "old" lvl 58 pvp sets won't be available after the update does this mean that:

1) people who already have the older version (and prolly deranked untill the newer parts are released) need to re-rank in order to buy the lvl 60 equivalent

2) or does it simply mean that players who had rank10 once (looking at "Highest Rank" in the honour tab) will be able to buy the new parts from the vendor (meaning they need to reenchant those) - despite their decayed rank?

i searched some forums and databases to get a clue, but didnt find any. after i contacted a gm ingame he sent me to the forums because of his lack of info about this.

thanks in advance

This. As fas as I understood. The opposite will happen for the epic R12/13 items .

They are different items in the game, so you most likely have to gain rank to buy them again just like in retail.

"Players may no longer purchase items that require a PvP rank unless they meet the rank requirement at the time of purchase."

No patch after said anything about being able to use "Highest Rank" to buy an item since.

Below is level 58 and 60 items, and as you can see, they are different item numbers.

Um, guys...do you know that you don't need to always have the rank to be able to buy gear. Its the Highest Rank earned that matters. Except the fact you need rank 6 to enter the PvP room
