wear to find best ilvl gear to raise your ilvl for relic weapon (a relic reborn)

hi,
i am struggling trying to raise my ilvl for my dragoon lancer,at the moment he is ilvl 53....i am trying to find gear that will raise my ilvl to ilvl 57,so that i can fight TITAN, (the last part of the trials quest).. where is the best place for me to go ,so that i can get my ilvl gear raised? i'm lvl 50,but do not know where to look.
is dungeons or raids the best places to look now,i have copperbell mines (hard) ,halatai (hard) hauuke manor (hard) and have unlocked the first raid..
my waist,earrings,rings could do with being a little higher,most of my other stuff is ilvl 55,but average ilvl is 53....can you please advise where i can getter better ilvl gear ,so i can fight titan to get my relic weapon..thanks.

** also where is the best place for a lvl 50 to GC "tickets",i need 1,100 more to get my next rank,its proving hard to get because of my rank,fetes are stating i'm too high in rank. ** :confused:

The Labyrinth of the Ancients drops ilvl 80 gear and is accessible to anyone with an ilvl above 50. If you don't have it, the quest chain to unlock it starts in Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona.

Otherwise, you can unlock some other level 50 dungeons or just run the ones you have - you can get loot from there, but perhaps the best thing about them and any other level 50 instance is that the tomestones of Mythology and Soldiery they drop can be exchanged for ilvl 90+ gear, from the npc Auriana in Revenant's Toll.

thank you .

For the fates, you can level sync if you're too high for them, the option for it pops up where your duty list is. Click on it & you can participate in the fate :) another way to get more company seals is to exchange gear for them. Talk to the npc who does the promotions ^^

Also, you can purchase crafted ilvl70 gear, I'm not sure about your server but on mine it's a decent price. Labyrinth may take a couple runs to get the specific gear you need, it's a fun raid tho ^^

Since you have Halatali unlocked, you can go there for the ilvl70 gears. It's best to go with friends or FC members as that place can be a little difficult at your current gear level. The Labyrinth of the Ancients is also a good idea too if you unlocked it but could take a long time to queue sometimes.

If you want GC seals, you can try completing FATEs at northern thanalan or GC leves at Mordhona. If you have a crafter friend or that you have one yourself, you can craft and turn in items for seals.

What Coulvre said is all accurate. Amdapor Keep & Wanderer's Palace will drop iLvl 55 gear; Copperbell HM / Haukke HM / Pharos Sirius are tougher and drop iLvl 60 gear; and Brayflox HM / Halatali HM / Amdapor City drop iLvl 70. You can also get weapon upgrades from the HM Primals (60 from Ifrit, 70 from Garuda, 75 from Thornmarch which you'll get if you progress the main story's continuation, and 80 from Titan). Labyrinth of the Ancient (Crystal Tower) has iLvl 80 drops which are great, and it's not actally that hard - but do look up the raid on YouTube, because there's a lot of mechanics in boss fights and general pulls that you'll be expected to know beforehand. And finally, all that content (plus roulettes!) drops Myth and Soldiery tomes to trade in at Mor Dhona for level 90/100 gear.

Though, don't expect to take down Titan HM just because you barely hit the requisite iLvl. You'll want to ensure your gear is giving you at least 3400-3600 HP, because towards the end of the fight, his Tumult attack (unavoidable damage to the entire party) starts to hit really hard. Depending on what gear parts you have, you might not be there even if you have enough iLvl, and it'll make clearing the fight that much more painful for you and your allies alike. Since, y'know, every time he uses it you'll be dead.

im finding that the fates let me sync,but by the time i have synced to their level,the fete is over,and i get no reward...
yes i have only just found out that the notice boards are infact the "auction houses",i'm a ex world of warcraft player of 5 years,we had auction houses ,i was looking for something similar in ffx1v,until i was told it was the notice board..lol, but on moogle,the ilvl 70 stuff is expensive.
up until the other day when i killed ifrit hard,i did not know that i could equip ivl 60 gear on my main,i was just buying ilvl 55 stuff,so now i need more money as a result..so now i need some way to earn more money,quests are thin on the ground and fetes are hard to get on your own,as im finding no-one is around? labryinth i plan to do sometime this week as also the hard dungeons i have too.
thank you for helping me.

For the FATEs well bellow your current level simply use the level sync option - big goldish button on the right side of the screen called "Level Sync" or use the command (or macro) /lsync in the chatbox. You can also purchase iLVL70 crafted items from Market Boards (or craft your own but you'd need to level multiply crafting and gathering classes first for that).

I admittedly have some difficulty understanding your question, but I'm assuming you're talking making money?

I haven't actually had too much difficulty on that front since hitting endgame - and I spend pretty impulsively. You'll find that dungeons are going to be dropping a lot of cash off of regular mobs, and you also get significant gil bonuses as well by doing the Duty Roulettes once per day. Get your retainers to go sell things you get too - you might be surprised how much money you can build up over time.

Buying iLvl 70 gear off the market board is certainly an option, but there's not really any way to just get fast cash.

yes ive watched all the TITAN stuff on youtube many times,i'm fully aware of all of the trial,but thanks all the same ;). ive already watched the labyryinth too on youtube..i simply didn't know where to go to improve my ilvl gear.
..i just hate ffx1v for the way in which it levels up your gear,sends you to quests to unlock ,then states you cannot get access to the quest/trial because your ilvl gear is too low,then leaves you wondering around trying to get your ilvl gear updated?
like ive said im a ex world of warcraft player of 5 years,so all this ffx1v style of play is very different,and strange to get used to,ive only been playing since 11th april 2014.

i know nothing about retainers ,never used them at all.....all i have done is levelled my main character,done fetes and leves,dungeons,not done any gathering / crafting..and done my job quests..now im lvl 50 and slighty confused by all of ffx1v's style of play?

You should probably start exploring other classes, gathering, crafting, etc. - space out your efforts, or you'll find yourself suddenly out of content one day. Either way, go get your retainers. If nothing else you'll appreciate being able to actually sell things and get some cash for them.

Anyway, XIV isn't really that confusing. Your level is capped, but your gear keeps progressing. There's a lot to do, you have a large amount of freedom to tackle it the way you want. Your overall goal is to keep raising your iLvl so you can tackle harder and harder challenges, and whether or not you get drops, you're always getting currencies that'll help you improve.

The grind continues, so to speak - it's just not measured with a classic experience bar anymore.

thanks HEC....i have always thought the level sync button was automatic..thanks for letting me know...as you know im still learning in here in this game. :)

i also need to read up on retainers too,never used them or knew what their purpose is/was...this rate i can see me going back to world of warcraft in december when their new lvl 100 expansion pack comes out lol(joke).

Generally, retainers let you store your items as well as sell them to the market board for you. To get them, talk to a retainer advocate NPC at any of the state's trading area, you will be brought to a character creation screen (to create the retainer's look) and you can interact with them via the summoning bell.

A bonus quest allows you to unlock ventures, a feature that allows your retainer to go on an adventure to gather certain items for you depending on the class selected.

thank you so much everyone who commented,your information was most helpful.....hopefully now i can carry on with the game and progress further :D

just go crystal tower. decent chance of an equip every run + tomes toward your i90 set.
