Always separate Pre-BiS, BiS by phase and final BiS

Why is this separation mandatory?

Because the reader needs to know:

• where is it
• what's the next step
• which still makes no sense to pursue
• when the final BiS has already become a realistic objective

Without this separation, the guide becomes a confusing list of items.

---

1. Clear definition of each gearing stage

Pre-BiS

which prepares the entry into the more serious content

BiS per phase

the best setup within a specific stage of progression

Final BiS

the complete and highest goal of the journey

---

2. How to separate content without overlapping

The best logic is:

1. start with what fresh 80 can get
2. show what changes in each phase
3. only then close in the final BiS

This prevents the reader from trying to jump from zero to the top.

---

3. Transition criteria between phases

You change phase when:

• the base of the previous one is already stable
• the next content is already accessible
• the character no longer depends on “being carried”
• the most important upgrades of the current stage have already been resolved

---

4. Common mistakes when mixing progression steps

• list final BiS as if it were initial route
• confusing transition piece with definitive piece
• ignore emblem and tier timing
• make the reader spend energy on the wrong objective

5. Practical example of step structure

Step 1

fresh 80 and pre-BiS

Step 2

BiS per input phase

Step 3

BiS by intermediate phase

Step 4

Final BiS

Editorial checklist

• [ ] Does the reader understand what stage they are in?
• [ ] Does each stage have a clear function?
• [ ] does the text avoid jumping straight to the final BiS?
• [ ] Is the transition between stages visible?
• [ ] the lists are not mixed?

Minimum recommendation

Separate Pre-BiS, BiS by phase and final BiS:

1. Improves Clarity
2. Reduces reader rework
3. makes the series much more useful in practice

A good gear guide doesn't show everything at once. Shows the right step at the right time.
