The development and operations teams faced a difficult challenge when it came time to shortlist the gear design entries due to the sheer number of amazing designs from artists from across the realm. After many heated debates, the team has selected 52 designs for the Ranged Magic DPS category and 52 designs for the Healer category (for a total of 104 designs) to move on to the final round of judging.

We will select the grand prize winner and runners-up from these designs, and the winner of the grand prize for each category will have their design implemented into the game! Take a look at the amazing designs that we received from all over the world!
