Why do people care so much about my gear level in pre-lvl50 dungeons?

DR give u SEALS > Go buy year with that from the company > ITS FREE

and plenty of gil to buy a necklace / rings every other tier (20ish 30ish 40ish)

isnt fun being in a lvl 35-44 dungeon and both dps have lvl 20~ weapons , lvl 9 rings/bracers/neck ect......runs take ages

after lvl 45 u get your af (but body) , free too !!!

"im poor is .....a poor excuse"

because aurum vale is a merciless mistress that shows now quarter unless your gear is at the bare minimum and you know your shit.

seriously, why isn't this instance a level 50 one?

Because it's not a level 50 dungeon?

How much longer do you think the absence of a neck piece makes a run? OP is kind of running in circles with his justifications for not upgrading the piece, but do you really think there's so much of a benefit it needs to be mentioned?

/sigh all this talk about the cost of equipment.... run Dzamel Darkhold and get FREE gear. It's more then adequate. Almost all my gear is dungeon drops. I dont toss it or trade it or convert it until I can't use it again. I kept all my pld gear for when I lvl my war. It kinda bugs me to see people in all store bought. Makes me think they dont run dungeons very much, and I hate FATEs. Most of my "oh god this tank is the worst ever" moments he had all store bought.

low lvl accessories are so bad anyway no one ever really failed a dungeon because they were missing 3 intelligence


grand company stuff is awesome though, if you do roulettes and fates occasionally you can gear up and continue to earn gil instead of lose it

Or make battle leves. Each second leve provides you with an item. It is not HQ and shiny but it is at your level. Additionally, during battle leves you can find chests that have purple items which are more than good for the level you are at. Also, if you make beast tribes, Duty roulette and treasure hunt 2-3 times per week, you get a lot of GIL as well.

Yo guyz, y you be hatin on my lv10 pants in Aurum Vale? Tank gear my level is liek 1k gilz on AH! How I sposetwo get dat? You think gil and gear just falls outta leves and quests or sumthin? Stop beeing elitists's's's!

lol, yes you can make money with miner and botanist, it's not huge money like it was, but it's still money. and crafting is a gil-sink only if you don't know how to make money. Leveling my alchemist from 1 to 50, I made profit.. that's right, and I also bought stuff for level turn ins and still always walked away with a profit.. some times it was only 100 gil, sometimes 1000, but it was profit.

There is so much gil to be made in this game, people need to stop trying for just the 1 million gil vanya hat or 35k potash that USE to be profitable and start looking for other things. If you could mine say copper ore and get 200 pieces in an hour and make 3k, why not? it's profit, not a lot but it's quick and easy, and sells fast.. that is also the catch, if it sells fast it can be worth it too.

And you STILL can make money of the coke, potash and stuff.. so you only make 3k now a piece, that's 2 dungeon runs, in which you made probably 6 or 7 k just from gil drops then an extra 3k for the potash you sell in the ah, and if your lucky you might get something useful from the treasure coffers and sell it for 500 to 1000 gil. The gil is there, just stop looking for the lotto win and start taking in the weekly paycheck.

Heck you could go do battle leves, get gil, exp, and some gear upgrades from there too.

Or why not use your seals and get your grand company gear upgrades?
