If you look at the list below....you could get almost end game gear early in the game.....let's say if I get the chainsword early....it'll stay with me all the way till endgame Neisword.....then i'll skip sword of ango....laconian sword.......I'll just grind awhile for those items....then there's no need for me to accumulate mesta and those laconian gear.....Why did they allow you those game-breaking gear so early in the game?
