It can be just minimum level of items equipped calculation (remember level 5 storyline quest? equip level 5 head, top, bottom, gloves and boots, as i remember.)

There's no way they can make AK 50, most people get the GC weapon as their first lvl 50 weapon and in order to get that you need to beat AK w/out it first.

Right, and that's to compensate for lower IL on other items.

Pro tip: Trade in Tombstone of Philosophy for 1 Dark Light Accessory and wear an unfinished Relic weapon: instant i60 average! Switch to all crafting gear when you get in for maximum spiritbinding profit!

yeah jewelry is an issue IMO, some 55 HQ crafted is better than dark light when materia slotted properly.

Jewelry might not even factor in, or might be weighed much lower. People spiritbonding crafting gear (making the slot essentially empty) is testament to the fact that it doesn't have as much weight as the community likes to think.

80 seems a bit high. Especially if they only drop 100 phil for 2 people (based on 1.0 information).

Just because SE might set the requirements low, doesn't mean a full group with the bare minimum would be able to down it. Not as a pug anyways. World class players will always down content with minimal gear, and I can guarantee you won't be playing with them in duty finder nor a pug you may join in Mor Dhona.

So yes, gear discrimination will still be 100% justifiable, as the people who set those standards understand that you can't kill bosses with happiness and friendship alone.

Darklight Choker
Darklight Earrings
Darklight Bracelet
Darklight Rings x 2

I wonder what the AIL will be for the Extremes, the Hard Mode Dungeons, and The Crystal Tower (and Coil).

prob ilvl 70 which no one has an excuse of not being able to obtain darklight. also crystal tower will require u to have completed a relic quest.
