SoD visible gear

By request, here's a good guide to how SoD gear works:

The only differences between any version of the same slot on the same tier seem to be in the mod2s. It's hard to say which is better since a lot of it isn't on Lucy yet.
Basically, you start with Seminal Luminessences or Incandessences. Lumins are "good" and Incands are "ebil." Seminal drops in FoS. Lumins make Concordant armor, Incands make Discordant. The containers and such for doing the combine are available starting in void C.
The next tier is Toskirakk, where you get Medial essences. A lumin added to Concordant armor will make "Vested," while an incand added to Concordant will make it "Balanced." A lumin added to DIScordant will also make Balanced, while an incand added to Discordant will make Chaotic. Containers for these combines start in void E I believe.
The last tier is Bloodfields, and Eternal essences.
Vested + lumin = Ordained
Vested + incand = Tarnished
Balanced + lumin = Tarnished
Balanced + incand = Tainted
Chaotic + lumin = Tainted
Chaotic + incand = Inflicted
You can "purify" Tarnished/Tainted gear later by following the directions in this post:

(EQ forums are weird; if that doesn't link you right to the post, look for the 5th post from the top, by Beimeith)
If you have Prismatic crystallos gear (all 4 essences), you can skip right to tier 4 (Vested/Balanced/Chaotic) by using a Mutation Nexus sold by Zeb, but you have to have void F access. Instructions on this are also on Rasper's site at the bottom of the page.
