World Drops and Crafted

World Drop armors are armors that would drop randomly from enemies in the game, particularily before Update 4.0 when level-sync was introduced and all of the loot tables were adjusted to accomodate the higher chance that your character might be high-level but questing on a a low-level planet, but would not need the low-level gear that would normally drop there. After Update 4.0 these items are considered quite rare - they will occasionally drop from the odd enemy, but the most well-known source of these items is randomly dropped from World Bosses. Many of these items have both a normal version that is Bind on Pickup nad has a blue or orange borderered icon, but many of them also have versions with a purple bordered icon and the word [Prototype] in front of their name (even though they are Artifact-quality). These purple versions are Binds on Equip, so they can be bought and sold on the GTN, often for high prices due to their scarcity and that some looks have not alternative way to get them. These purple-bordered versions of the items are often considered best-in-slot for levelling gear even many years down the road - not that you need strong gear to level these days, and you level so fast you will likely outlevel your gear very quickly. There are also a few schematics for a few of the pieces, which produce Bind on Equip versions, but which sets have them and which pieces are craftable is very limited. These particular crafted versions have blue-bordered icons, and the schematics will be listed in the Archived section of the Crew Skills list, even though the schematics items are still floating around and technically available to be learned. So for example, for the non-[Prototype] RD-13B Striker set: The Chest and Helmet are orange-bordered and Binds on Pickup. They could not be reverse-engineered and could not be crafted at all. The Belt, Boots, Greaves, Gauntlets and Vambraces are blue-bordered, and Binds on Equip. The Greaves, and only the Greaves, have a crafting schematic item that you can get to learn how to craft the greaves on your Armormech - both those graves and the schematic itself are also Binds on Equip. And lastly, there are the [Prototype] versions of all of those, which are purple-bordered and Binds on Equip. What is available and not available is quite chaotic and you may not be able to find full sets of these, but there are often look-alikes in the game available. To make things even more confusing, I believe the blue-bordered crafted items schematics also had different versions of their names that no longer exist at all in the game, with different prefixes - there was the initial tier from the schematic with a blue-bordered icon, and when you reverse-engineered the crafted item, you could get a version that started with the word Critical, Redoubt or Overkill, each with different stats attached and a purple-bordered icon - these seem to no longer exist. Then, you could reverse-engineer that purple item to learn a bunch more stronger purple-bordered versions with prefix names like Presence, Leadership, General, Commander, Tempest, Veracity, Rampart, Fervor, Exactitude, Hawkeye, Endowment, Anti-Armour, Exper, Supremacy, and Vehemence, as well as the word (Superior) at the end of the item. So that crafted schematic pair of RD-13B Striker Greaves could be RE'd to learn the Critical RD-13B Striker Greaves, which could then be RE'd to learn Tempest RD-13B Striker Greaves (Superior). In addition to all that, if you got a critical chance when crafting, your crafted armor would get an Augment Slot, and would gain a suffix of (Exceptional) for greens, (Advanced) for blues, and (Mastercraft) for purples, so you might have wound up with Tempest RD-13B Striker Greaves (Superior) (Mastercraft). The naming conventions were not always consistent, not were the stats, and there was a lot of things broken with the reverse-engineering of items in general. In 4.0, with the Surge stats being removed, and all the classes using a unified Mastery stat, the developers wiped the crafting slate clean and replaced the crafting list with what we have now - but anyone who has the old blue schematics can still craft them, likely from their Archive tab. On top of all of that, there is a chance you can get these from Treasure Hunting boxes of various grades.

Identical Armor Sets

This armor set has multiple versions that are visually identical and gotten the exact same way, the only difference is their names and the stats that are attached to them - for example, one set might be better for a healer or tank, but they all look the same.
