Can someone explain gear progression for 2020?

Most of the info on wiki and search results are outdated and ends at conqueror. Can someone explain the current gear progression beyond that?

It looks like I'm on pace to hit rr50 before hitting level 40. Should I just skip Conqueror set and go straight to Vanquisher?Omegus wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 3:19 am Open RvR: Conqueror (set pieces from keep bags when RR40-49) -> Vanquisher (set pieces from keep bags when RR50+) -> Invader (set pieces from fortresses, tokens from from Fortress if RR50+, from Cities if <RR70, and from successfully defending a zone that that leads to your fortress) -> Warlord (same tokens as Sovereign) -> Sovereign (tokens rewarded from city sieges if RR70+ and from successfully defending a keep (not sure of RR requirement), no set pieces currently in bags).
PvE: Redeye (Mount Gunbad dungeon) -> Sentinel (City dungeons) -> Bloodlord (Bastion Stair).
Scenarios: Conqueror (bought with tokens) -> Oppressor (bought with tokens)
Warlord and Sovereign needs the Invader ToK unlock in order to be equipped but you can get the pieces early.
Sentinel requires the Redeye unlock to equip but you can get the pieces early.
Bloodlord requires the Sentinel unlock to equip but you can get the pieces early.
depends a bit on class and patience... vanq is obviously far superior... but if you are tired of your current gear and want a upgrade... conq is very solid and competitive...jtj5002 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 4:57 pmIt looks like I'm on pace to hit rr50 before hitting level 40.

I'm a healing DOK so its going to be all RvR gears. How often do you expect to win gold bags in RvR? I've only gotten one in about 5-6 successful keeps. I do a lot of in/out of party healing for contribution.Wam wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:18 pmdepends a bit on class and patience... vanq is obviously far superior... but if you are tired of your current gear and want a upgrade... conq is very solid and competitive...jtj5002 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 4:57 pmIt looks like I'm on pace to hit rr50 before hitting level 40.

Personally i am impatient and will convert all vanq into conq and then farm vanq harder ... (you wont get conq pieces from gold bags after rr 50... but you will get vanq in gold bags, unless you have bad luck with dupes its not impossible to obtain even if casual)
Vanq is very close to bis on a few classes, especially how easy it is to acquire compared to others which will take some real farm and long term commitment.
Hit as many zones as possible to increase your chances, its like buying lottery ticket the more you have the better the chance...jtj5002 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 5:27 pmI'm a healing DOK so its going to be all RvR gears.
