    So I have started back on my quest for a full set Luminescent Armor. It is probably the second hardest and grindy PvE gear achievement in the game right now, just under crafting a legendary weapon. It's not the greatest armor skin in the game, but still pretty cool and I'd like to have it. I especially like the female light variant. Let me know if you'd like to join me or have any questions about it.

    Armor skins that you will unlock by completing this:

    The online guides are very scattered and incomplete due to each piece originally being available every next content update. So I have combined all the information into a complete checklist to make things easier on myself. I thought I'd share it here to help any others who might wanna do the same.


    Unlocking each piece unlocks the light, medium, and heavy variants in your wardrobe. Most events take place in Silverwastes map. Your progress can be tracked by opening your Hero panel, clicking Achievements tab, clicking Collections drop-down, highlighting Basic Collections, and looking for each of the six Luminescent Collections individually.
