I really love the Shards of Dalaya Adept and gear leveling.
Adepts are raid style mobs that populate a ton of zones covering level ranges from 1 to max. They are only engage able by the max level or lower they are designed for. so a level 4 Adept is only able to be killed by a group or raid of level 1, 2, 3 or 4. Players can't engage if buffed by a player outside that level range. The reward for downing these beasts usually resulting in a decent piece of equipment and that items could get exp and level up.
Leveling Gear - Certain rare items could get levels. so a rare 20/50 sword might be able to level up 30 times and become a 50/50 sword or a helm that is 10ac has 2 levels and gets +10% ac per level to become 12ac eventually.
I think gears that levels is most likely to far from the spirit of p99.
But Adept Raids for all levels that spawn with some variance like every 2 weeks give or take a few days could help bring community together at all levels. They don't have to drop custom loot maybe loot that is a few levels higher than the tier of the mob. say a level 5 adept that drops PGT or Najena level loot. I'd be a good way to introduce back some classic removed items like guises, Mistwalker, FSS, Rubicite.
