I'm having the same problem. I've asked around reddit and a few youtube videos as well, and I have yet to find a proper way (or rather, nobody seems to want to respond with a way) to more easily "search" for which values in the permutations correlate to which armor pieces update by update. I guess I'll ask here too since you seem to know your stuff- is there a better way to more directly figure out which armor pieces are attached to which values, or will I just have to essentially "trial and error" it by going through each number in the armor permutation?

All regions should be set to -1 so you can focus on what piece you want no i'm not changing it THE INDEXES HAVE BEEN REDISCOMBOBULATED INTERNALLY AFTER AN UPDATE, ALL NUMBERS/ARMORS MAY HAVE THE SAME ORDER, BUT AT A DIFFERENT INDEX# AND MAY BE...
