So it's been a long time since i did AEQ and i've never really been good at it. Is there a method to the madness or is it just a fact of spamming refresh until you get something good?

Any help or advice on this would be great, thanks.

You get more gear per refresh at each x1 level. Level 31, 41, 51, 61 etc.

Other than that, it's pretty random. The longer you wait, the more EQ you will see with attribute AND bonus. This might seem great, but imo makes it much harder to get the exact piece you desire. You might end up settling for +3 Agility or +3 Tackling on a DT where you might've really wanted it to be +3 Strength.

Due to above statement, I prefer to roll the shop at level 31 for my first +5% piece, and then again at level 41 for the second piece. If luck has been had, will roll for third piece as well. If luck was not on my side, I usually just build out the rest of the EQ full priced.

Seeing that your dots are level 21, I would recommend waiting until at least level 31. I don't think you'll see much +5% or +3 attribute gear at level 21.

Also bear in mind 3 or 4 AEQ....If 3 then its very important to get the perfect pieces by buying or very limited use of shop. If on a slow build and the dot position supports it then personally I just buy those 3 pieces. I can then set my build plan accordingly as to when I drop into BT training or looking ahead to SA requirements that aid this particular build....On a 4 AEQ build expect lower epv but more importantly some underpowered skills that you have to hide or mask lol

If you're doing 4 AEQs, then you need to switch to light around age 80 (end of 2nd season) depending on your luck. You can get to L41 with a boost or 2 by then.

With 3 AEQs you'll need to adjust around age 120. Mix in Light and Mediums as needed.

This is pretty much what I do unless I get lucky with the 1st +5% piece then I may roll the dice like 5 more times and sometimes get lucky again. This really depends on the position of the player from my dealings with shopping for pieces. Hell, some positions you might as well just plan on buying them all.

Thanks for all the responses guys, really appreciated. I wasn’t planning on rolling yet but was more trying to prepare and understand it all more when I get to that point. I was planning on a 3 AEQ build with my current LVL 21 dots so I think I’ll follow what you said PeeJ. How much is too much to spend on rolls? Say for example I got to 31 and I wanted to roll for my elusive HB and I was targeting a +5% juke chance, how much would be a safe amount to put aside for a perfect piece?

Also if I roll at 31, would I get rolls such as +5% juke chance and +3 speed or would that be something that comes in at the higher levels as stated before? Just so I can kind of understand

One thing to mention is that you’ll want to have your end-build AEQ goals in mind before you shop. If you want fake chance, break tackle chance, and catch ball chance for a HB, you’ll want to buy whichever one pops up first. You don’t want to go in hunting one specific piece and pass on the other ones you also want at end build.

Some people will set a budget of 10 rolls or so, it’s all just personal preference. Sometimes you will get the exact +5% piece you want on the very first roll, sometimes you’ll go 40 rolls without seeing it. It’s gambling at its finest! That’s another reason I like to shop early at 31/41, because it gives you time to plan the rest of the build according to how your shopping went. If you get lucky in the shop on a 3 AEQ build, you can multi train up into the last TP dump of D160 offseason, and get a couple extra points on your primary attributes.

Ok thanks. What’s the norm when it comes to upgrading them and stuff? Do people do that and if so, how many BTs you need to put aside for that stuff?

425 BTs to build your own +3 att, +5% piece of AEQ. If you roll a +5% piece in the shop, it's 350 BTs to do the +3 attribute and the 10 upgrades.

Building all 3 pieces is 1275 BTs, so depending on your shop luck.....I usually set aside 1250 when I run a VPB and assume I'll at least save 25 BTs by shopping. And then once I shop and lock in my plan, I can calculate what is needed by end build and land right on it with proper planning.

There's spreadsheets you can use floating around the forums that will help you know when to switch to Light training once you decide how many BTs you need to finish out your EQ plan.

The math goes, if you're building a piece yourself:

+3 to an attribute: 50 BT (bonus tokens)
Add a skill (like First Step, +5% Hold Block, whatever): either 18, 38, or 75 BT, depending on what you want
10 level-ups for the piece, at 30 BT each: 300 BT

Thus, the maximum to build a piece yourself is 425 BT, if you choose a 75 BT skill for it.

Four pieces max, so 4 times 425 makes 1,700 BT total needed if you want to build 4 pieces yourself as described above.

This is where figuring out where you want to be with your end build is something that you need to do as early as possible, so you can figure out when you need to go to only Light training in order to build up enough BT by end build.

Edit: I edited this a million times b/c I'm an idiot.

Ok thanks for the help guys, noted for when i gamble away my dots future

Another thing to take note of, if you're doubling down on any of the +% bonuses, and are a little short on BT or have not such great luck in the shop, taking a +2% or +3% bonus for one of that stacked bonus, since it is halved when stacking, only results in losing 1-1.5%, and can save some major BTs if you are cutting it close. I see a lot of top Pro dots that go with a +3% piece on their stacked bonuses to end at +21.5% instead of the +22.5%
