This tells you how inconsequential the differences are.

Thurg and Growth/Hate 2.0 are basically the same, just different graphics. I wouldn't bother with Thurg, generally you can get tradable items of a similar tier which you can always resell/regift once they are upgraded.

Kael tends to be more AC, Skyshrine more resists. Other stats / hp tends to be case by case basis. Both of these sets are better than Thurg and Growth, and generally not so easily upgraded either. With growth if it is going and you will use it you may as well loot it. Tends to have a rarer look too, which is cool.

Choosing between Kael and Skyshrine boils down to understanding what you want to do with your character, and as such which stats will be most useful, or simple convenience of which faction you are most likely to raise / which drops (or MQs if you like to pay other people to play the game on your behalf) you are most likely to come across.

What class are you asking for? What level? Do you have a guild or regular crew you have access to that are likely to do content which will result in any of the quest items?

It's for my/my brothers bard. At a glance the kael looked better. The saves seemed quite small and it's better to get specific resist gear anyway isn't it?

I'm about to farm heads off tar goos on my other alt to give to the bard, just wonder if it's worth it.
