Stat on Gear

I just dinged 30 and about to change most of my gear. So what should I look for when I by an upgrade?

As DD should I go for str, atk, acc or crit?

As tank HP,vit or def?
----------------------------------------------

Also is there a certain piece of gear I "must have"? something easy to get and very good, like from a quest or so.

Tanking stats good for a MRD (not in any particular order):

HP, Vit (equivalent in my eyes, both give hp, but vit also give damage mitigation)
Def
Parry, Dodge (parry more important for MRD imo)
Enmity generation (only available as materia or in later gear)
STR (for damage and hence enmity generation, affects parry as well)

Gear wise, full plate set is the one to go for, although the earliest you can use the steel set is L39. For your lvl, maybe run totorak a few times (either with same lvl friends for exp as well, or have a high lvl'ed friend run you through for gear) ^_^

DD-wise:

Att, Str, Crit in that order, imo.

The crafted leather sets (harness/subligar combo!) are decent, and at later lvl's the hauby set is nice. The cloth set is also usable (tunic, hats etc). And at your lvl, totorak got some gear too...


Have fun!

Thx for the quick tips :)
