Armor Experience Points

When you complete in-game activities such as bounties, all of your gear slots gain the same amount of experience points. For example, your Helmet slot armor gains 100 XP, Chest Armor gains 100 XP, Gauntlets gains 100 XP and Leg Armor gains 100 XP. The experience you gain is a flat amount across all the slots. You cannot unequip gear to target level a specific slot because the experience gained is not divided among them.
