"I can't say for sure," Miss Arden answered, after thinking for a moment. "For some rankers, they can spend a better part of their lives with the same equipment, while for others, they need to change their gear every few months. It all depends on the quality and compatibility of the equipment.
"The first group are those who hit the jackpot in getting something of high quality and compatible with them... but that's pretty hard to get, considering the unique needs of a ranker. In most cases, it is either a problem with quality or compatibility. If either of them is mismatched, they're likely going to change their gear the moment they have enough gems in their hand."
"I see," Gale nodded. "Let's say six is the average number of gears a high ranker changes throughout his active years of working."
"If you're considering Gold rankers and their long lifespan, six is a little too low," Dimitri added with a laugh.
"How about eight then?"
