Syrcus Tower==>need to get from iLvl 62 to iLvl 70

SO I just unlocked the Syrcus Tower raid, but I cannot do it because I am only iLvl 62 and I need to be iLvl 70.

What is the fastest way to up my iLvl? I am short on Tomestones, so I cannot buy any level 90 gear in Mor Dhona.

Please advise what dungeons, etc I should be running to upgrade!

Thanks!!

Sorry to say this, but hunts.

You can buy i90 Chest pieces for 825 Myth, or 30 Allied Seals (I think) - both drop from hunts.

The gear from the three new dungeons is i80 I believe, and there is a lot of i70 crafted gear that shouldn't be too expensive. You also have i70 gear from Halatali HM, Brayflox HM, and Lost City of Ampadoor. If you want to do a few frontlines matches, you can also get i70 PvP gear that functions outside of PvP as well, and fairly quickly.

ETA doing frontlines (and hunts as the poster above me said) gets you myth very quickly to just buy your i90 myth set too.

Yeah as sad as it is to rely on hunts as they are now, its the best way. My characters caught up to iL90 gear within a day using hunts after taking nearly a year long break.

^^^ OP Can't do the new dungeons since you need i70 for them

Unlock the high level roulette asap and try to farm those 3 dungeons LadyVal mentioned. Labyrinth of the Ancients is worth queuing for just on the offchance it pops as it gives i80 gear and a lot of myth. Running some hunts for a bit would be the most time-efficient way to gear up but ymmv, I find focusing on that content for any large period of time insufferable.

Full set of gear from Crystal Tower (Labyrinth of the Ancients), myth accessories.

Getting a set of CT gear is absolutely pointless and a waste of time.
In the time it takes to get a full set of CT gear, which is i80, you could easily get a full set of myth gear, which is i90.

It's all about choice. In any case, once they have enough myth to buy a full set, the CT gear will still be there for vanity.
One could argue vanity is pointless.

But I have a feeling you just want to be right nitpicking something like this.

You don't have to do hunts. You can still do the Daily Roulettes. This is what people did to gain tomestones before hunts existed and it's still an effective alternative and perhaps slightly safer at your current ilvl than trying to survive A ranks (or being able to do enough damage/heals), at least until you are able to reach your desired ilvl.

High Level Roulette dungeons will drop i70 Darklight armor and I think the green gear there is i70 as well (it's been a while since I've done them), but just completing them will net you Myth and Soldiery tomestones that you can use to buy i90 and i100 gear.

Expert Roulette dungeons currently drop i80 gear as well as award you with Myth and Soldiery tomestones.

Low Level roulette and Trial roulette also award you Myth and Soldiery tomestones, however with your current ilevel the Hardmode trials that you do in the trial roulette may be a tad difficult (but still do-able).

Main Scenario Roulette will award you with a nice chunk of myth tomestones too.

You get 200 myth for every CT run, plus the chance for one or more pieces of free i80 gear (seriously, OP, run CT and eventually ST with me and the BRD gear will rain down, why is it always BRD!? >_< ). I brought both DRG and PLD up from i55 to i82-83 in a couple of days each, and I've got them both up to i90 now just from extraneous myth I've gotten while getting ST/Daystar gear for my WHM, plus Zenith weapons of course.

The only problem with running CT (aka. LoA) is that the que times are undoubtedly long and possibly even non-existent. Not to mention you're probably more likely to get trolls that que in rather than people that actaully want to do CT for the loot.

I say this because LoA has been outdated, and everybody is either doing Hunts or ST nowadays.

But people still do the Roulettes.

Spamming it to get a full set may be a waste, but the odd drop or two would be nice. CT is 200 myth per run, so OP could afford the myth gear fairly quickly, but why spend all that myth when they're just looking to get into ST to replace that gear anyway? A mix of myth and i80 gear could easily get them into ST where they could get even better gear, and then they have extra myth to spend on other things as well.

@OP - if you get to i70 you can also go into the first turn of the Binding Coil of Bahamut for some i90 gear.

fastest way is buying crafted ilevel 70/90 gear, if you have the gil

Work on unlocking those roulettes, all lvl 50 dungeons will give you bonus myth for being a first timer, it should take no more than a couple days to get enough myth to get beyond i70, plus i90 gear can let you do pretty much all content this game has to offer.

OP asked for the fastest way to gear up. Not the "correct" way. The answer is hunts. But the time the first roulette is done you could have had two myth accessories from hunts. The other way to do it is to drop about 4 million gil on crafted gear.

EDIT: Let's put it this way; in a night of hunting (5ish hours), I fully geared two jobs in i90 gear and capped Soldiery.

Buying in the MB is still faster than hunting. ilevel70 gear is not expensive anymore. It don't need to be HQ.

If you would rather not participate in hunts, and I TOTALLY understand if you don't, there's a few options you can do to gear up, but be aware that it will take a bit of time and work from you to get up to 70

Amdapor Keep, and Wanderer's Palace drop Ilvl 55 gear and 30 Myth tomes

Pharos Sirius, Haukke Manor Hard, and Copperbell Hard drop ilvl 60 gear and 50 Myth tomes

The Lost City of Amdapor, Halatali hard, and Braflox's Longstop hard drop ilvl 70 gear and 70 Myth tomes

Labyrinth of the Ancients (CT1) drops ilvl 80 gear and 200 Myth tomes (although the Queue is quite long unless you're a tank or healer)

All of these also give a myth tome bonus if it's your first time running it, or the first time of someone else in the party

What I would do is run a mix of all of those dungeons to keep from going insane from the monotony, lot on any gear that you can wear, and use your tomestones to upgrade to your ilvl 90 accessories first, because they are the cheapest and will raise your ilvl the fastest. And, of course, once you have run all of those dungeons at least once (excluding CT1) you open up high level roulette, which will net you an extra 100 myth tomes per day. And, if you haven't already, either start on a relic weapon, get yourself a primal weapon, or buy one of the ilvl 70 weapons off of the market board. Also, you can run your Main scenario roulette for another 130 tomestones per day, and your low level roulette for another 100 tomestones per day. Beast tribe quests also give Myth tomestones, but only 30-60 per day depending on your rank within each tribe, so they're kind of a bit of a waste of time unless you really want to rank them up for the mounts.
