Decided to try and capture all the ilvl 80 sets from the Eorzean Collection video. Sorry if some are blurry, they were using actions and the animation/effect gets in the way.
BLM (and possibly SMN)

WHM (and possibly SCH). Recolour of above. Reminds me a little of Ascian robes.

I'm loving that new WHM stuff. PLD looks slightly weird, but it might just be the screenshot. They did mention at some point the the rest of the warrior of light set would be added, and crystal tower is a good place for it.
WIN! ;)Quote:

Incoming Anxiety Attack:
I am confused with gear progression in this game and how to go about it and what I should have or not have at such and such point in the endgame. Traditionally, without a bunch of people who love and tolerate a person enough to help him or her through a fight/dungeon, what do normal players do and in what order do they do it? I think it goes like this: WP/AK/Prae/CM until TOMES are acquired and delicious. Purchase Darklight with TOMES. Do Ifrit for weapon. Now equipped with Darklight and Ifrit weapon, DO Garuda. Now equipped with Darklight and Gaurda weapon, do Titan? Wait, but I am missing AF+1 in there, aren't I? Hmm. Well I don't even know how you acquire AF + 1 and I certainly don't know how easy acquiring Thyrus is (and when I should acquire Thyrus +1). Okay...head ache incoming. xD Help. Lol.
Is Thyrus better than Ifrit/Garuda/Titan Weapon? If not, is Thyrus + 1 better? If so, I'd need to know the order in which I obtain the + 1, right?
How did everyone else learn this stuff? o_o;
I can just look for the information where everyone else looks if you just want to point me in that direction. I just wonder how I would know. O_o You know?
Should I just jump into something (which something?) and hope something happens that clarifies things for me? I've already done Titan HM and Garuda HM with no drops for my WHM self (my friends brought me with them). They were enjoyable. At one point someone complained about my HP in Garuda (I was in standard AF gear with a weapon I found on the auction house XD), but I survived the fight, so I guess I'm pretty lucky. Actually, they only complained about my HP once they had died failing to dodge a mechanic I didn't. I was told that this was pretty amusing, but again, I have no idea what I am doing, so I don't know how funny that really is, not that I am advocating for making fun of others or something. My basic point was that I am not sure what recommendation this player was trying to make to me? I'd like to know, if at all possible.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: So yeah endgame seems fun.
I'm panicking~~~~ -

While gathering darklight gear, you should be equipped enough to do the Primals for weapons, but you don't need to get them from all 3 Primals. Getting Ifrit's or Garuda's weapon is enough.
/poke me in-game and I can tell you more -

This thread pleases my sideburns.
I wish they'd released a preview of all the PvP gear that's going to be in-game!! (So impatient) -
11-27-2013, 02:53 AMMysteltainSlooooooow down, there! You're overthinking this way too much. This is basically how end-game progression works:Quote:

1.) You hit 50. Yaaaay! Hopefully you've completed your job quests, too =D
2.) Complete Castrum Meridianum and the Praetorium. You beat the game! Now prepare to have mind=blown at the ending.
3a.) Unlock WP and AK, and run them for tomes and gear. Keep doing this over and over until you've got some Darklight gear, and maybe a Myth piece or two Hint: in increasing order of better gear: WP->AK->Darklight->Myth.
3b.) Begin your quest for your relic weapon. The entirety of the quest involves getting its base-weapon, killing some Beastmen at their stronghold, spending 900 Philosophy Tomes on an item, as well as beating each primal, the Dhorme Chimera, and Hydra. I'unno the order since I just kinda ran through it, but that's not important. You won't be doing these one after another, so don't freak out about not finishing it right away. It's meant to take some time. Hint: Since Hard-Mode Titan gives people a lot of trouble, try to defeat him when you're on that part of the Relic quest--it's killing two birds with one stone! Or killing one stone with...eight birds? But, there's no bird race...eight cats then? Gah! aglkhjfadg
3c.) Accept and complete the quest to beat Hard-Mode Ifrit. If you get his Primal weapon, grats! Hint: Stay out of the red stuff =D
4.) After getting some nicer gear and possibly Ifrit's CNJ drop (or your crafted pre-relic weapon, it's just as good), take on Hard Mode Garuda! She's a bit tougher, but not too bad. Once again, if you get her Primal Weapon, yay! You'll probably want to keep fighting her to get it, though for the next step...
5.) After running WP, AK, and the HM Ifrit and Garuda fights ad nauseum, and having mostly Darklight gear, it's time to take on Titan HM! Accept the quest, and get ready!
6.) You defeated Titan! U r teh bestest! You received the necessary item from him for your Relic Quest! You may now complete your relic quest and receive the Thyrus!
7.) If you so desire, keep farming Mythology Tomes and max them out for three weeks to get the necessary items to make Thyrus+1
8.) It's time to enter the Binding Coil of Bahamut! I've yet to enter this myself because I'm lazy (and am waiting for the Crystal Tower), so I'unno what to expect. Well, I do, but I don't have any experience in it.
And that's it! ...wow, now that I think about it, that's quite a bit of stuff. But! Don't worry too much, just take it at your own pace. And, since I didn't clearly answer this question:
Weapon Progression
55-crafted weapon < Ifrit weapon < Garuda weapon < Titan weapon < Thyrus < Thyrus+1
Also, I just read your last paragraph after typing this, so I ain't deleting it! Curse me and my habit of skimming... -

So that's what I am supposed to do. I'm just going to start on 3a from your list, Mystel; thank you! (Annnnd try to ignore the rest of your list until everything seems less overwhelming! Take it one step at a time, Hesty!)
And thank you Aldora for giving me a rundown, too! I will probably poke you repeatedly during play to ask you a bunch of questions I should already know! Lol. So glad you're on my server!
Now back to your regularly scheduled randomness...

No need to panic, Hesty.
And you don't need to have 100% of X gear before moving on.
Every piece helps a bit and over time you will slowly get more powerful.
