Example

For example, you create a gear set with 7 items in its list. Under tiers you make 2 tiers and set the first tier to require 4 items before it's bonus becomes active, then you add a couple stats for this bonus lets say you give the first tier a health bonus of 150. So then the +150 health bonus becomes active once 4 out of the 7 pieces are equipped.

Then for the second tier you set the equipped amount to 7. Give it an armor stat with amount of 5 & a health stat with amount of 300. Once the player equips all 7 out of 7 items this tier becomes active and you gain +5% armor and +300 health.

So once the full set is equipped the 2 tiers are active for a total of +5% armor and +450 health.
