26/09/2024 UPDATE: As of Throne and Liberty Early Access Release, Amazon changed the sources of loot in the game. These gearing suggestions are currently being revised in order to provide the best choices.

These are the first items you should strive for after leveling as they are very easy to get and upgrade or trait as needed. However, you shouldn't try to trait these items too much as you won't be spending too much time playing with this setup. The green accessories however are very easy to trait as you can craft many of them quickly in order to get the correct traits so you should consider traiting them until you change into purples.
