You hit level 90-100 and don't know how to gear yourself up like the other veteran players out there. This guide is to help players understand the current end game crafting system, recommend enchanting progression, and give a general idea on how to achieve end game stats.
Edit: The free gear you get from getting to level 90 is your place holder gear, you will want to make new weapon and armor to replace it. You can't enhance this gear or make it better so, you're force to replace it.
EDIT: The new level 90 +12 set will help you be able to do lvl 95 raids.
Reference:
Old Info
Starting off, level 95 and level 90 gear both will get you to the end result with stats. level 95 gear give you access to rank 6 scrolls, weapon provide 15 extra crit, 3k more damage compared to level 90 weapon but at the cost of having a lower balance stat compared to level 90 weapon. So both have their pros and con. ( Eventually you might want to go for lvl 95 gear or wait for lvl 100 gear to come out)
Starting off, with lvl 100 gear out, it is recommended to work toward a level 100 weapon with lvl 95 or 100 armor peices.
*You can also work toward a +13 lvl 95 weapon as a temp weapon but not reccommened (only for those who want to take the long rout to gearing).
Quick Overview of Steps
Old info
1. Get Orange weapon to +13 lvl 90 weapon or +11-+13 lvl 95 weapon
2. Get Orange Armor to at least +10 level 90 or 95
3. Enchant your Accessories, Armor, and Weapon
4. Work on these one at a time and slowly replace your free lvl 90 armor and weapon with the better version you worked on.
5. Lastly use power infusion on your gear to add extra stats on it
1. Get a Full Orange lvl 100 weapon to +10 or higher and enchanted
2. Get Orange lvl 95 or lvl 100 armor to +10 atleast and enchanted. [lvl 95 armor are cheaper to make and reforge recommended 3 lvl 95 armor and 2 lvl 100 armor]
3. Get newest accesories to replace place holder accessories and enchant them.
4. Work on these one at a time and slowly replace your free lvl 90 armor and weapon with the better version you worked on.
5. Reforge Weapon till +15
6. Reforge Armor till +15
7. Lastly use power infusion on your gear to add extra stats on it as needed.
Step 7 is done while working step 5 and 6 and can be finished before either of step 5 and 6 being completed.

Enchant Scrolls for Accessories
For all Accessories
Passion and Significant ES are nice es to put on accessories if you have open spots on your accessories for your build.
Fast ES is great for stacking attack speed and depending on the build you're going for you will use between 2-4 of these ES in your build.
Berserker ES is also a must have scroll, the stamina regen aspect of the scroll is extremely useful. The regen buff does not stack so having only one in your build is good enough.
For Belt
Petite ES will be your place holder until you can stick a Subdue ES on your gear
For Rings
Sparkling Will be your placeholder till you can get The Dead ES to stick on your rings
The Dead ES Stats(Didn't have a picture of the ES)
+5 Bal; +5% Crit Resist; Str reduced 40; Hp Reduced 450

For Shields and Focus
level 90-100 Weapon and Armor Crafting Info
You can craft level 90-100 armor/weapon via Dianann in Rochest Magician's Guild. You need to have completed the story version of Regina and finish the crafting quest to gain access to this (After Rise update). Once you unlock this you need to unlock the recipes. In order to do this, complete the none-story version of the corresponding raid you want the gear from. So Braha will give you Braha recipes , Regina will give you Regina recipes so on and so forth.
1. The material to craft these gear are obtained through battle. For Weapon and Armor Essences (Primary Parts), you get these from doing the raids(Story version and reg version).
2. To get Shards (lvl90 secondary Parts) you need to do regular run between Ben Chenner-the non winter version of Berbhe runs(Ones tied to Abomination Raid).
3. For Chunks (lvl95 secondary Parts) need to do the winter version of Berbhe run (ones that are tied to Dullahan Raid area)
Once you unlock and obtained all your material via grinding or buying off market you go to Dianann and start crafting. Crafting is refered to as item Composite. Just go check which mats you need, get them, and craft. Simple straight to the point.
Now that we are done with the basic we can start with more "complicated" part. Shards and Essences have rarity, there is rare (Orange) and normal (Purple). Purple parts have one set stats shared per shard/essence type. While orange shard/essence have a range of stats that is determined randomly per type. Your goal is to get all stats to close to max, some stats are more important then others.
Replacing Shards/Chunks/Essences
This is mostly used to replace shard/essences from purple(normal) tier to orange(rare tier), but it doesn't stop a person from swapping one orange for another.
There is one thing that is effected from switching essences.
IF YOU SWITCH A PURPLE MAIN/ESSENCE TO AN ORANGE MAIN/ESSENCE THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE GEAR WILL RESET TO ZERO. Switching between orange ESSENCE/MAIN part to another orange WILL NOT reset the enhancement of the gear.
If you switch purple shard/chunk to orange shard nothing will reset.
For Enchants, switching shards/chunks or essence/main part will not get rid of the enchant on the gear.
Here an image of where to get to this option.
You got an orange shard/chunk/essence on your gear and not satisfied with the stats you got on them, no need to worry that what material synthesis comes into play.
Material Synthesis
Important stats: Bal; Crit; Attack Speed; Attack Limit Release
Useful Stats but not high priority: Crit Resist; M/att; Wil; Str; Int; Defence
Material Synthesis lets you increase the stats of orange shard/chunk/essences to it max. Once a shard/chunk/essence stats are maxed it will let you add attack release to a max per part.
The material needed to do this are different between shard/chunk, essence, attack removal types. There will be 3 different types in the image but not all types.
Enchant over view. Level 95-100 orange gear can use rank 6 and lower scroll; level 90 orange gear can use rank 7 and lower scrolls; purple gear can use rank 8 and lower scrolls. Scroll tier goes as follow 6>7>8>9>A>and so on. All gear can have one prefix and suffix.
Work in Progress After this point
There is a few new scroll, so want to make sure this part right. Also taking a break from this for now. Will finish asap. Also will do some fixes here and there to make it more "professional." and clean.

Power Infusion
Most important stats for accesories and weapon: Attack Speed; Balance; and Crit
Power Infusion is used to give extra stats on gear. You go to Melina and talk to Videk. The hardest stats to stick are the 3 important stats already stated.
If a gear has the stat on it naturally as it defualt stat, then that give you a higher chance of getting those stats. So getting crit on an item with crit will be more likely then if you want crit on an item that doesn't naturally have the stat.
You're more likely to get negative crit, attack speed, and bal then getting a positive value of those. Thus the last thing you work on in your build since its the most expensive part of gear building and is extremely rng (the bad kind
).
A member of the vindi community already calculated the chances of getting a crit stat on a gear with or without the stat being naturally on the item and the chances are slim.
The item required to do power infusion are
Element Stone 60-80 equipment and
Intermediate Element Stone lvl 90-110 equipment.
Here an image of power infusion in action.
To craft the stone require, just go to any profession stall and craft it there. You can also get them randomly from Warm Welcome Boxes.

Comments
Starlight, Twilight and many other scrolls were removed from the drop tables after Rise. Although recently (post-rise) there was a scroll pouch from a login event that was dropping bound versions of starlight (and other scrolls that were removed from the drop table).
As you said, only way to get it is to craft it via proficiency or buying it off the market(if there any ^^")
The Rise update gave us many quality of life changes with a good amount of bad changes thrown in the mix. Sadly this is one of them. Hopefully the grind to getting these item craft doesn't burn you out ^^'.
Well thx again for the response & ill "Catch Ya On The Flip Side!"
