    If there is something better than what you have, that is easier/cheaper to get, than you are doingitrong. Example: trying to get a dalmatica solely for the refresh, even though pluviale is much easier to get.

    Basically, you want to get reasonable NQ gear (which is incredibly cheap), and then upgrade it as you are able to, starting with whatever gets you the most for the least gil/time. At no point should you ever downgrade anything. As long as your base sets are good, this will always be acceptable.

    Base sets should be pretty simple: tp should be haste > acc/da > atk > etc. Ws sets should take advantage of appropriate modifiers, and/or atk+acc, as appropriate.


    You do know the flame ring is better than the ruby ring and not expensive anymore. right?

    Yes. It was an example. And ruby ring is still acceptable for someone who just got their first job to 75+, and doesn't have much gil. 35k for +1 str is NOT a smart upgrade for someone with extremely little gil/gear.
