Gear

That's not becoming available at rank up, though, that's becoming available after a mission. The official guides say pretty explicitly that they all become available at that rank, and the fact that you had to lump the Crisis Gear like that indicates how wishy-washy the component-based determination would be.Glorious CHAOS! 01:57, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand how that would be at all helpful. The reader would look at it and think they can put it together at so-and-so rank, when they can't, while in this manner, it's just covering when the synthesis recipe is made available. Thus, "Rookie" is the legitimate (i.e. correct) information.

If someone is actually looking to make the gear, which would be a more practical way of looking at it, giving an approximation of the rank isn't as useful as just saying where and when you can get the ingredients - which we already do. Furthermore, to do it your way, we'd have to have someone going through for each recipe everywhere and figuring out when the last ingredient can be found earliest, which is inordinately time-consuming.

From the very nature of synthesis, as would be obvious to most readers, you have to have the ingredients. So, a reader looking to build the item would already know that, no matter what the page says, they need those ingredients in order to do anything. Therefore, giving a false approximation of when you can first make the Gear would not only be incorrect, but also largely useless.Glorious CHAOS! 03:11, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
