On console it's impossible to see what crafted pieces in the guild stores are Merc gear. I've ran quite a few dungeons and only got 1 laurel so far. Is there an easier way to spot Merc gear? I've spent 20k on guesses so far...bad guesses
Go to a crafting station and preview all the Mercenary gear. You don't have to be able to craft it to preview it. The icons of many of the pieces are rather memorable in appearance. Once you know what it all looks like, then you can match that up in the guild stores.
That said, it would be better to ask people to craft it for you. On the PC/NA, I've only created Merc decon gear on request--never premade it for listing in a store.
Have you been joining pugs for the dailies? There are often easy dungeons on those, and because of the amount of times I've run them I've gotten almost 2 whole motifs for my crafter and my VR16 (who runs the dungeons), hence I get a lot of laurels.
I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!
