... same equipment.

I've been wondering why my characters seem to never move up in power as quickly as others.

Let me give you an example.

Server 112 #1 player is CindyLouWho (level 81). Her Shayd has a Level 20 Guardian Relic. She has 4 level 3 Emeralds in the sockets. And is Saint Level 3. The guardian Relic gives + 7046 HP. Power Value for the Relic is 4,029,944.

My Character on Server 70 AlDiMeolaRules (level 82) ranked 67. I have the exact same Level 20 Guardian's Relic. I have 4 level 3 Emeralds in the sockets. I am Saint level 5 and have 5 stars. We both have all Guardians equipment (5 set) except the (Spirit). I have the exact same +7046 HP. Yet my relic has a Power of 265,941.

How in the world is it possible for both people to have the exact same equipment and one have over 4 million power for the weapon, and one to only get under 300 Thousand?

Maybe you say it's different servers?

But let me point this out.

Ranked #66 on Server 70, just above me is 71Flash's QueenPenthesilia. She has a level 21 Champion's Relic. w/ 2 Level 3 Emeralds in the sockets. Saint Level 1 w/ 4 stars.
Has a 5 Champion set. And the Relic provides +5814 HP. Yet That Relic has a Power of 910,183.

So my question is why is my Guardian Relic level 20 1/20th as powerful as the exact same as another person's, and likewise 1/3rd as powerful as an inferior Relic providing 30% fewer HP protection than mine?
