ATK Rating & DEF Rating
Lv.1-60 pioneer equipment are like elite items, having built-in AR/DR+5. The lower level pioneer equipment are not entirely necessary, especially if the player does AFK-power-leveling at the beach of Bahia Island.

Lv.80 pioneer weapons pale before unique Lv.92 weapons (AR25), which don't require chipping and usually have bonus skill level. Lv.80 pioneer armors are of the same grade as Lv.92 armors.

Lv.100 pioneer weapons are also inferior to Lv.92 elite weapons (AR30) from Los Toldos or Lv.100 normal elite weapons, such as Bracelet of Ziz (AR30). Lv.100 pioneer armors are equivalent to Lv.84 elite armors (DR26). Of course, Each Lv.100 pioneer equipment also requires 5 mystery powders to make.

Pioneer Level	ATK Rating	DEF Rating	Equivalent Level
1	5	5	20
20	10	10	40
40	15	15	60
60	20	20	80
80	24	23	96/92
100	29	26	116/104
