My advice about this Vistani gear; I picked up the package from Esmeralda by the well in Barovia. Three of my eight have grabbed it and out of the three; Stardust my TR who was pretty close to jumping to 10K IL and did become 10K just barely. She is not using the weapons and some of the artifact items, as they don't cut it against the Chult weapons I ranked up in the last few months. She is wearing the head, chest, arms, and feet but the pants and shirt are no better than my drowcraft I already have on her. I just disabled their features so they don't ruin the appearance of the costume. Also I replaced all the rank 6 enchantments with ranks 7 and 8.
The three artifacts (Bad Luck Charm, Broken Mirror, Tarnished Locket) are a joke at best. They are stuck at blue quality, have no functional powers, and only supply a bonus of +277 stat. Unless someone can tell me a real use for these soon, they will just get pitched like so many bag of holes.
My CW Llorna was first on the scene and pulled all the rank 8 enchantments and used them to replace any rank 7 she was wearing. The clothes, weapons, etc. went into her bank. While Dirk my DC, did the same his enchantments were at rank 6 (which I assume the first is only rank 8) I banked his items as well and plan to salvage them for AD later. Meanwhile Dirk is working on getting the much better armor from the seals of the brave. The first 400 will net him a pair a of Raid boots. Ugly? Yes. Then I plan to transmute the armor into something more appropriate.
My final advice is this; Fresh or New level 70s should run straight to Barovia and get this gear, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There is no grind, you get it handed to you. Then you can return to the campaign you are working on at present. However if you already been through Chult and have Pilgrim or League armor it is roughly the same you will not progress more than a few points in IL and stats. I don't plan on spending the whole of the Ravenloft campaign grinding RP for gear over again. My advice to veteran level 70s would be, to cash this in for salvage, or if you like the fashion, pay 5000 AD per item to use it as a transmute.
It is real nice of the developers to just hand us these items without the grind. I am enjoying this campaign greatly, once all the kinks and bugs are worked out, I will enjoy hunting too. The story is wonderful and the content is great. Have fun!

I tend to hoard stuff like this anyhow, like Makos' ring which I doubt I will ever use.
I have sold Promissory Notes on the AH for like 20k AD
I made sure all my capable toon to do SKT enough to get that ring. I use it everyday for all my toon (that has it). There is loadout.
Well I did toss them likely similar to 95% of the others who did. If they don't even give a reason to hold onto them or even imply they may later be further unlocked, I can't see why most aren't just going to the trash bin. I mean it's only been 2 years since promissory note were offered, and still no reason or items you can trade them for them. But yet people are still selling them for 7-9k Astral Diamonds - yet if they are eventually used for something many will be sad they got rid of them. Still I think if anything it's likely only going to require a promissory note's.
The Artifact would be a SAD state if they later let you change them into a different artifact; because then they should have shown Reagents or future items that should be required. That's why I think 99% have mostly trashed them unless they had an ALT who didn't already have a blue artifact.
SAD but TRUE.
