Hi! It's me again, and I'm think on saving up for the new Atlantean Bundle. I've already thought about everything being worth it except I have a few questions about the gear. Thanks to W101Central Wiki, I already know what gear it gives you and the stats (sort of ). When you choose the level for your gear, can you upgrade the level, does it upgrade itself, or should you just choose a level about 20 lvls ahead? And Can you choose the colors? I've been doing red + yellow/red + yellow-orange through the whole game, and it's also getting a little boring. I want to switch red to blue, since it's my favorite color, and keep the yellow/yellow-orange to make it look like it came from Poseidon or Neptune; or maybe even a triton. And last but not least, how does the magical fish tank work? How big is it, and how do you go in it? All answers are welcome. Thanks!

You can choose to redeem the gear at any level you wish, but it remains at that level and won't change as you grow out of it. So choose wisely - look at the stats each level would have and pick the one that will meet your needs the most at that level.
This isn't easy, since you may not know what the best dropped or crafted gear for levels far ahead of you might give. A good yardstick is fixed known quantities such as waterworks gear or crafted Azteca gear. Is the tier 7 version of the gear you bought better, worse than, or about the same as waterworks gear for your school? (Most crown gear is made for use by any wizard and as such, the stats are mediocre compared to what you would get from waterworks or WT)
Or you could get the gear at a lower level than your current wiz, so that other, lower level wizards you made can use it in areas where they typically don't get very good dropped or crafted gear. Level 20-30 usually hit a spot where the gear drops are not as good as the typical crown gear, or they are scattered across multiple different bosses. Whereas level 5-15 you can usually still wear the items you got from Lord Nightshade.
Changing color: Dye shop. It will cost more to dye crown items than it would to dye low level dropped items.
