Fastest way to gear up-
how would this look like?
prerequisite: some handwork except alchemy
1 -- get freetrader-currency by using the inspiration-item (its not expensive and even as a free player its easy to afford)
(VashBOG made a good video that explains how to)

2 -- upgrade your gear with the cheap cursed upgraders from upgrading NPC at astralacademy
(you can get amalgam for upgrading from negotiant and theoretically you could purify it with catalyst item for even more amalgam, only need some emblems from BG, can be obtained in short time)
3 -- get glyphs from negotiant
4 -- get enchanted hearts from negotiant and enchant your gear with the repeatable quest from NPC
some said to me this is obvious but i still want to share this thought for those, who did not get this idea
also, the usage of gearing this far is questionable anyway while enchanting
orange gear is even more questionable, theoretically only
teal gear is worth enchanting EXCEPT you have a party that does the hardest sector with you all the time so you dont have to remove the enchanting from your gear (=wasted gold)
