Full Perle

[Dauntless]

If this is in the wrong section please feel free to move it.

Now I quit FFXI two years ago and am just now getting back into it, and when I saw a Hauberk that was usable by DRGs as well as having Haste on it I freaked and thought it a godsend.

As I've been going around on the forums I noticed many people associating noobs with Perle.

As I'm not quite familiar with much of the new armor, could someone enlighten me as to what bad about Perle? I genuinely do not know and would appreciate if someone would explain.

Thanks.

Perle = DRG
Perle Hauberk > Kirin
PerPLD = n00b
People who think perle is n00b = n00b and need to remember that not evernone can get twilight.

^ not exactly the most helpful post, but basically, the empyrean gear is mostly better for anyone who can equip this set. That's not to say it doesn't make a perfectly good go-between between old gear and empyrean.

Don't listen to the haters..

Full perle is a decent armor set for a new person to wear...

[Ryland]

It's not being a hater when it's true. Fact.

it's not a fact. You need SOMETHING to wear before you get your empyrean. No one can get their whole set of empyrean in an instant, whilst being naked.

The way I see it is, people tend to wear pearl and jobs that they do not really care about as much as other jobs. For example, I use AF3+2 for my MNK because I love MNK, but if I were to be on BST or another job I am not interested in enough to aquire AF3, then I would usually wear pearl because it is very very easy to get and the full set can go on most DD jobs. I remember when Perle first came out and people thought it was amazing. I think people are just tired of seeing it.

IMO, due to how easy it is to obtain and how many jobs can equip it, Perle is tends to be associated with a lack of effect which in turn is then related to (n00bs). As for the gear itself, it is not that bad of a set, and it is certainly better than most gear people used pre-abyssea.

Hey, not everyone can just hop in abyssea and get all the empyrean armor +2 right away. Perle is more than fine to use until you have the connections/time to start doing runs for your AF3.

I know people who had full +2 for a job that was lvl10, that's pretty instant if you ask me.
Perle vs. Empyrean? A lot of perle peices are better for WS and a lot are better for TP. It's all implementation. And if you're still uning a Kirin to WS over a perle hauberk? Well, I wont say it. The language you get me banned.
