We are pleased to present the Gear Design Contest (Melee/Physical Ranged DPS) finalists! The amount of hard work and dedication that must have gone into all the entries is nothing short of astounding.



The Development and Operations teams have selected a total of 95 designs to advance to the final round of judging. We will select the grand prize winner and runners-up in each category from these designs, and the grand prize winner in each category will have their design implemented into the game! Thank you to the talented Warriors of Light from all over the world who participated!
