Stuck I think...

Ok going after the relic weapon, got the first part done, cost me a bit to get the longarm bow but meh, i'll grind some more gil later..

the part im stuck on is the Avg Item Level... I can muster 51 but can't get over that.. I need 52 to get into the duty finder...

any tips or so? I'm in a FC but when I ask, I get , do some dungeons and hope for good drops...

I'm probably missing a few other things to with in the game, the ending was epic I must say, and looking forward for more, just I feel off and need guidance...

I don't want to be a weak BRD :(

The best thing to do at that point is to accumulate tomes of mythology and to then trade them in at Revenant's Toll for 'Hero' accessories, as these are each item level 90. There are a number of ways to gain tomes - running post-Stone Vigil dungeons such as Castrum Meridanium and Amdapor Keep used to be the 'traditional' way, but lately that has changed somewhat to Hunts. You can also get a small amount of tomes by doing the daily beastmen quests each day which all add up. Just one of these accessories should push your average item level up by at least one point.

Yep hunts are best right now for ultra fast myth but failing that you can do Crystal Tower: Labyrinth Of The Ancients. 200 myth a run but NA worlds can be a bit trolly so it might suck idk.

Again, hunts are going to be the fastest way, though I feel like people are missing the obvious. Since you don't have any i90 gear, you can pick up the accessories for 20 allied seals each (max reward for a single A rank). Nobody will even notice your gear in hunts, or care really since your primary contribution is potentially finding a target for people to kill. Jump in a hunt party, grind out some seals for an hour or two, and you'll likely be ilvl 70 or so at least.

Get your i55 gc weapon and do hunts for seals. Buy items that have DEXTERITY as your primary stat. Your current accessories are useless for your dps.

Thanks for the tips, will do so when I get some more time. I've been doing at least 6 beast quest a day when I get the chance, so just keep grinding away till I hit that mark. So much to learn, so little time...

Well, the way the game intends for you to do it is to run Wanderer's Palace and Amdapor keep a couple times to get a few gear drops from those, which are upgrades over your AF stuff. Which then leads into being able to do HM dungeons like Halatali for even better drops. Along the way, you'll get the myth for a couple i90 items.

Grinding hunts may get you gear quicker, but doesn't help you at all when it comes to being prepared for doing actual content.

I actually agree with this.

OP, you may not realize this but accessories can be equipped by any class. Wearing vitality and intelligence jewelry may give you the ilevel you need to enter content but you are essentially naked on your left side. As easy as the early dungeons are, there are still some dps checks, and you will either be carried or fail if the other dps queuing is minimum ilevel.

Buy some HQ fluorite jewelry to fill those slots.

Yui,

I am on Diabolos as well. Hit me up in game and I can make some bling / meld it for you. Better than nothing and might save you some coin. That is if you haven't purchased already.

Wear whatever you can that will raise your ilevel enough to do runs, even if they aren't dps oriented. You can just switch back into your dps gear once you're in the dungeon anyway.

Please don't listen to this advice.

The item level are there to give you an idea of what to be at before you go in. If you cheat it you could end up getting booted or trash talked or worst of all not be able to complete the dungeon if more than 1 is doing it.

Take your time and enjoy the game, run wanderer's palace and amdapor keep for myth and soldiery. Your ilvl will climb from the myth gear and dungeon drops then you move on to the higher dungeons etc.

Coatl, shame on you for even trying to pass that off as advice. It's just that mentality that makes me hate DF tanking. The objective is to lift people up, not teach them to cheat. So do the game a favor and find a way to help others to be better.

It is very easy to raise your iLvl with Hunts, Level 50 starter dungeons, Company Seals, and buying some gear on Market. I would suggest working on your relic as has been stated and don't cheat the system you are doing no one any favors with that.
