Raise your item level to 119 by completing a tutorial quest!

Maybe the new director will do the players a favor and eliminate item levels and just let us level up past 99.

Unless they make certain JAs, like Composure, not accessible via subjob, like NIN JAs, I don't see that working.

Also bear in mind they would have to go back at this point through ALL item level gear and redo the stat vomit.
