Hoarding old sets?

I'm pretty new/b: got to where I can idle/auto GRB, did the basic and 24 hour challenges, and then plowed through the other 4 basic challenges to finish that off.

My question is, do I need to hold on to these maxed Cheese or Magitech sets? My GRB gear is lvl 30-40, and I haven't swapped it out for quite some time, but I don't know if these old sets will ever be useful again.

Any advice is appreciated! I guess the next thing to do is increase energy in order to continue creeping up to the Clock area?

You won't really horde sets. You'll keep individual items, such as Sands of Time (which you'll carry on to end-game). Then there are individual instances where the previous set (e:) has a few items that are better than the next, such as ML vs BV (abbreviated to prevent spoilers), so you'll use them until you get things that are better. Other times you'll just keep items that have great specials (respawn, gold drop, drop chance, seeds, etc.), which again, aren't sets.

You'll get over any lingering desire to keep your old sets very quickly. I remember feeling the same way. Just remember that you can always come back and farm the items again, and it's always easier the second time 'round.

And yes, energy is your friend.

Sands of time is that useful? Why?

Cooldown is great for getting your first few kills on new titans. The wiki gives recommended stats for manual and idle, and a flat number for autokilling; with the 20% CDR from SoT you could probably take ~2ex off the manual number, depending on the titan. The earlier you can get kills, the earlier you can start getting drops and progress. Even better, I'm pretty sure 20% is the highest CDR you can get from any one item, and you get it incredibly early on, likely for this exact reason.

Just make sure you max them out

You won't have to green them (i.e. boost them until you can't boost them anymore), just bring each of their levels to 100 (not necessarily simultaneously)

Correct, thanks for clarifying

You won't have any real reason to yet, but as soon as you beat the next titan you will, but you don't have to worry about keeping gearsets this early.

Awesome, thank you!

Max everything, keep accessories that give you something other than just power / toughness. I'm almost at the switch to Evil difficulty and I still use accessories from just past where you are.

I read in some other comment that Evil is just passed 4th titan or something, so I imagine I've got a ways to go. Yellow Heart is sitting in daycare (lvl 36 now, woo!), otherwise I'm getting Ascended Forest up and up, approaching Ascended Ascended.

Evil is after the 6th titan, but I wouldn't call it just past. There's a pretty significant amount of progress between the 6th titan and Evil.
