Advice for Faction Gear and Levelling Gear After 60

Hey guys.

Just need abit of advice please for these 2 things.

Faction Gear - I noticed that Faction Gear was capped at around 535 (depending on the gear you choose). I managed to get the Warhammer, one of the shields and Rapier. I was then told by a few Faction members to ignore the Faction Gear and to just buy from the Market.

I took their advice and bought a full set of gear which was all around 570-580. Pretty cheap aswell for each piece of gear.

So my question/advice regarding Faction Gear is: Is it worth it? Is there a specific reason why Faction Gear doesn’t go close to 600? Or is it more a cosmetic item that you can show off?

My second query is regarding gear/weapons after 60. I’ve been killing alot of 60-62 levelled mobs. Aswell as a few Elite Bosses. However, the loot that they are dropping are all capped at 500. So the gear that I bought from the market, although it’s decent, I’d like to make my way upto 600 eventually.

Are loot drops very rare? Is it a bug? Abit of advice would be cool. A few of my faction members described it like Destiny 2. You get a piece of chest armour for 565. In theory, you should get chest drops around 565 or higher to progress. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened for me.

Do I just need to be focussing on Arena’s? Expeditions (Genisis, Lazarus)? I haven’t done any of these yet.

Any advice would be great guys. Thank you.

If there were some kind of set bonus mechanic for faction gear I could see it being worth it maybe, but right now the cost is just so high that few find it worth.

Only things I’ve purchased from the faction vendor
