I'm upgrading my T2 Wolver Set to the T3 Dusker Set.
Do I need to "level up" my T2 set to 10 Level before upgrading? Because I know I can upgrade it up before level 10, but do I lose any bonuses if I do?

Sorry for the double post,
Sorry for the double post, BUT is it cheaper to just skip 3-star gear and buy 4-star gear from the Auction House?

Make your own.
It's definitely better to make your own gear.
4* gear is automatically bound to players now (because it has to be made from level 5 3* gear) so unbound 4* gear only exists if it was made a while ago before the gear binding change and is thus rare and quite expensive. Even 3* gear is typically sold at a good profit for the seller, so unless you find an unusually good deal in the auction house, you should just make your own. You'll save some crowns and also get a chance for a useful unique variant.
I even make my own 2* gear because I just have fun hunting down recipes and materials and hoping for UVs (I use mist energy to craft on days I can't play), but it is cheaper to get 2* gear in the auction house if you use up your mist playing daily.

Thank you very much
Alright that is all the questions I have for today. Icee, I appreciate your help. thanks a lot!
The Dusker Set is 3-star, not T3. You need 4-star gear to get into Tier 3.
You can upgrade 2* items to their 3* version immediately. 3* armor needs to be heat level 5 or more to be made into 4*, and 4* must be level 10 to be made into 5*. There are no bonuses for leveling up your gear more than required before upgrading it.
