Question about blue quest gear

Hello everyone! I just did my level 45 job quest and the follow up quest which to my surprise gave me four pieces of iLvl 45 gear that were substantial upgrades. Which brings me to my question: are there any other quests that award good gear for me that I should be on the lookout for? Thanks!

Your level 50 class quest.
Those 2 quests give you what is commonly referred to as your AF or artifact gear.

Awesome thanks for the advice. Didn't know if there were others I may have been missing.

The other major one, once you hit 50, is the A Relic Reborn questline. It's a big, multi-step process from Gerolt in... Quarrymill, I think? There's a lot to it (including five 8-man trials!), but the reward at the end is an amazing item level 80 weapon, which is easily upgraded to an even more amazing item level 90 weapon. It's further upgradeable past that, although the method for that is extremely grindy, but the 90-version is enough to power you through (almost) everything you can face in the game.

And just like the Artefact Armor you got from the job quests, it's doable for every job in the game to get a (relatively) easy awesome weapon!

you wont be in that i50 stuff for long anyway :)

Thank you very much for the info!! Hopefully I will hit 50 this weekend and get that questline started!

You can also find high level gear in Crystal Tower (i80, left side) or buy it from the vendors in Revenant's Toll using tomestones (special currencies you only get doing endgame stuff). There's currently an i90 set and an i100 set that can be upgraded to i110 (the current max for all nonweapons) if you're doing the Second Coil of Bahamut

Once you hit the lv50 cap for your character it is all gear progression from that point.

Lv55 gear from dungeons Amdapor Keep and The Wanderer's Palace, and purchase from Grand Company.

Lv60 from Pharos Sirius, Copperbell hard, Haukke hard

Lv70 from The Lost City of Amdapor, Brayflox hard, Halatali hard

Lv80 from raid The Labyrinth of the Ancients

Lv90 from raid The Binding Coil of Bahamut and purchase in Revenant's Toll

Lv100 purchase in Revenant's Toll

Lv110 from raid The Second Coil of Bahamut

All this info brings up many more questions.
First, is the 4 pieces of gear from my level 45 job quest plus the gear from my level 50 job quest enough to complete the HM fights for my Relic Weapon?

Second, what GC rank do you need to be in order to buy i55 gear from the GC?

I'm sure I will think of more and I apologize that this turned into a gear progression thread as I know that information is VERY easily accessible on the forums.

GENERALLY your AF gear should be okay. You'll wanna replace it as you go along for a few reasons, namely the HM primals have a bit more of an ilvl requirement. Also you'll wanna have ~3.2k HP for Titan HM to make sure you can survive a full set of Tumults and not get knocked out before a Medica catches you.

IIRC you can buy the i55 gear at the highest rank.

in theory yes, many of us did it that way

but it became less grindy to get some fairly decent gear with the patches, so a few peices you pick up here and there will make you more robust in the last garuda/titan fights

with people doing trial roulettes and grossly overgeared people willing to help out it is not the headache it once was, just practice :)

Not quite. You need an average iLvl of 57 to challenge Titan (nevermind win), so you'll have to get some gear through other methods (HM Ifrit, Garuda, and the Thornmarch in post-game story drop weapon upgrades you can use in the meantime though!)

The highest rank currently available, unfortunately.

Generally yes, although you can always take a few days and grind out some Mythology tomestones from the endgame dungeons and get yourself one or two pieces of i90 jewelry for your class (or just save up and get i90 gear), and that'll help out enough to make it not a huge headache, and it should put you over the iLvl requirement for most stuff.

Awesome information everyone! I found this reddit post that was very helpful that is in line with what everyone said so thank you! It seems like I will be skipping the GC i55 gear. It seems like it would be too much of a seal grind (Sergeant Third Class at the moment) when I could just get in the 50 dungeons for gear by then. Thanks again for all the help!

You need to max your rank for the weapon. As for gear, I'd get HQ copies of the 55 crafted militia/imperial gear, as all your AF except body is only level 50, plus you can convert it into materia when done with it.

Is that just HQ crafted gear from the market board? About how much Gil will I need for that? Don't you need about 50k for your relic? Thanks!!!

On my server, about 8K a piece for the tank set. You can also use the HQ base weapon for the relic, though demand due to relics alongside folks usually skipping the chests with the materials in WP means those can be expensive.

That's not bad at all. I should have about 200k Gil when I hit 50
