Winter's Gift... 3-piece travel set.

[shortguy on indom]

• WINTER'S GIFT 3-PIECE SET... BEING THAT IT'S A TYPE OF 'WINTER SET'... 
• WHAT MINIMUM LEVEL DOES IT EXEMPT DOWN TO IF I ATTUNE IT?
• THE SET-BONUSES ONLY EXEMPT?
• DOES THE 20% SLOW RESIST PIECE EXEMPT DOWN (ITS A UNIQUE).
• THANKS. (been using it for years, never was sure).

1) No question to answer

 

2) This set begins at level 10 so, when attuned, the bonuses will go down to level 7 (3 levels below minimum).

 

3) Not sure what point 3 is asking.  If you're asking about the enhancement values they follow standard exemping rules. 

 

4) Yes, it's a set bonus so follows the same rules as in 2) above.  Proof:  I exemped to the lowest mission I could find in Ouro which took me to level 9, the 20% resists showed.  I then started a DFB which put me at level 2 and there was no 20% resist.

 

5) You're welcome.

Globals are just like I/Os and will work 3 levels below their bottom level. So, if attuned, the set bonuses including 20% res will work until 7.  
 

When i take a 50 and build (alt build) it to do ouro badging i will abuse purples and globals since they have a bottom of 10 (so 7) and you can stack impressive stuff into a little level 7.  Set bonuses work even if a power is grayed out due to exemping.  As long as you are in their range.

Unless I totally forgot how they work, I have been buying the unique recipe with a level 10 so that I don't have to attune it.

I was under the impression that the attuned IOs are just pulled from the regular IOs for sale anyway, so wouldn't this be a moot point? 

 

Also, I could be completely wrong as I am still playing around with the market stuff and learning.

This is from the Christmas vendor in the lodge for 50 candy canes and you just get the recipe.

Oh, awesome! I didn't even realize that! 

Sorry for my confusion!

If you're buying the recipe from the vendor in the Ski Chalet for canes, you get the recipe at a level appropriate for the character's level, so if you buy it with a 50, you get a level-50 recipe. Passing the canes to a level 10 to buy it means the recipe will be level 10, meaning that you don't need to attune it if you're going to slot more than one IO from the set and get the (IIRC) 7.5% movement bonus all the way down to level 7.

heh, a lot of my self-funding alts will visit this vendor year round. I have no idea why, but there were some long-standing bids for 3-5M for these recipes when the IOs were patiently bought by some folks at 700-900k. It's nice to have some utility for other-wise fairly useless candy canes.

Useless?  Canes go for bank. I would have thought you would be deep in that you ebil market manipulator!
