Gear you want, but will (probably) never obtain

This is not meant to be a QQ, game is too hard thread, I promise. This is more of tongue in cheek.

I'm curious as to how many other players have resigned to the fact there are certain weapons or gear that they will simply never obtain for one reason or another.

For me, its the Relic weapons for MRD and PLD. I love the look of both weapons and even though I have both jobs to 50 I have come to accept that I'm not good at tanking and honestly don't really care for it. I sometimes switch over to these jobs if I'm bored and wanna run some quests with a different look. I only even leveled these jobs to 50 because I like the AF gear. Plus, I had a hard enough time beating Titan HM as a healer or DPS...lol (don't judge me!)

Legacy tattoo, deleted my 1.0 char in beta to make my femroe, because at the time was unaware of legacy tattoo, or fact we'd get a free item to re-edit our characters. By time I learned of it, it was too late :'(

Ouch...I never thought of that. I thought about deleting my character to start all over but in the end I couldnt. In a weird way theres too much "history" there.

Dreadwyrm robe of healing

cuz of rng

/end thread

Inferno Grimoire
Chocobo Mask
Serpent Elite's Circlet
Storm Elite's Coat
High Allagan Coat of Casting
and the entire BLM PVP gear set. ; ;

...oh, and the Nirvana. chances REAL low... ; ;

Any Nexus weapon. Don't have the spare gil for the materia melding step, and am not about to ruin the game for myself to 'work' for them, either.
Anything Allagan. No one wants to do the first turns in learning parties anymore and I'm not gonna do it in Duty Finder *shudder*.

Nexus weapons doesnt cost that much gil, going with IV materias is not Must/onlyway. Just lazy excuse for not doing it, gil i mean. You can go 3 stat, even 4-5 if u cant afford more expensive materias. Saw today BLM with Skillspeed+ parry on Nexus, just placeholders, whenever they get more gil they will just re-stat it.

Turn1, 2 and 4 are really really easy to pug, so pugging them should be no problem. Or just write on PF that you give 100 free soldiery for carry on those, should be people up for helping.

Also "gear you want but will never obtain", you really dont seem to want it that bad since u wont do anything for it.

Dreadwyrm shoes of healing. Because T9.

I was gonna list in all the Coil/Allagan gear but I figure at *some* point I'll actually try out Coil.

I even prefaced the post by saying this is tongue in cheek and I still get the mouth breathers in here....

It's just a game, mate. There's a difference. Sorry you don't see that. Thanks for playing tho.

Anything High Allagan Healing, because RNG seems to be very fickle with me lately and it's disheartening to try and not get anything from it so many times; my WHM will have to deal with soldiery gear for now since I don't use it as a main class anyway. Also anything PVP because I just can't stand PVP, but some of the gear looks really awesome.

The Shikaree doublet. I'm never on bard the rare times when it drops and I always lose the greed roll or there's a bard that rolls need.

Same offer goes to you, we'll help you get it =)


As for me.... Excalibur. I'm already doing 2 relics (Gae Bolg and Yoshimitsu) I don't know if I have it in me to do a third, but I LOVE the way it looks T_T

I'm actually interested in running first Coil as well. I've cleared T1-T6 on DPS and healer, but I want to learn tanking them. So anyone wanting gear from first Coil that's willing to put up with a newish tank is welcome to message me about it.

I hear you on this one. Everything in Balmung PF is "Know the fight up til X," "Farm party," or "LET ME SELL YOU THE CLEAR, GAIZ!"

The Chocobo Mask...

Every time I saw one, I shed a tear. Fate is a cruel mistress. T ^ T

Any Zodiac weapons, because I'd probably die of the lack of brain activity trying to do the boring steps of those quests. There is some Zodiac weapons that look cool, but definitly not worth that much trouble when I can get magitek or coil weapons.

⁍ The last two tiers of PvP gear. Some of them are reaaaaally weird, but I actually kinda love the new Scholar robe. It looks more royal instead of dumb. I also dearly need the Wolfseye Thighboots. But I just don't have the patience to lose every ten minutes because I'm in Maelstrom. Though it's been two months, so maybe that's changed.

⁍ Novus or above...It feels like it'll be decades before I have enough money to get all my materia.

⁍ Allagan stuff. First and Final Coil have really ugly gear, but I like Second Coil's a lot. I tried T5 and...I get frustrated too fast and when nobody tells me that as a BLM it's my job to kill the snakes, I get flustered on top of that. We never got past the snakes. But it was a DF group. I went in knowing what we were supposed to be doing...and apparently it was all wrong because the way you play it now is absolutely nothing like any of the video guides showed, I guess because they were pre-Second Coil. /whining

The birdsong coat for bard. Well, in all actuality, I already bought it and have it waiting in my retainer, but I'm not interested in PvP enough to suffer the hours and hours of wait time it would take me to grind my PvP rank up to 38, so until they drop the rank requirement for those items, I won't be able to wear it. One day...

A lot of the Zodiac Weapons. Too much time spent into one and the grind gets boring really fast.

Most of the relics. :/

Agree. Lots of stuff here I would like to glamour but I just have no interest I'm PVP.

High allagen anything.... *eyes glaze over...*

xD

A Zodiac weapon. They're cute but....

God no. I stopped at Animus.

T7's healer coat. I've cleared this fight many times but I can never clear it on heals so...no coat for me.

Lol I cleared it a lot of times as a DPs and the coat would drop roughly quite a lot of times. RNG is rng

Five hours ago, I would have said the Crimson Vest from CT, since from 2.1 I've seen it drop five times and have lost every roll. But I finally got it this morning, haha!

In all seriousness now, the Divine Death set from 2.3 dungeons, and the Allagan Scepter. I will most likely never get those, or the BLM PvP set. But I'll certainly try for those dungeon drops!

Anything but DRG gear from final coil. lol. Okay. We do get other types of drops, but 70% of our drops are DRG gear. My healer partner has an almost fully decked out DRG he never uses. No one in my group likes or plays DRG.

EDIT:

BTW we have been plagued by this DRG gear drop curse since FIRST COIL, before T5 nerf. lol. We are truly and honestly cursed.

The lion PvP armor, because I don't like to PvP but I like how it looks.

Also, if I wore the PvP gear while on my lion mount and with coeurl kitten out, I would be a cat wearing cat armor riding a cat with a cat pet.

The Crafted Mogblade

The MB on my server sucks HARD. Back when I played a lot no one made the mog-weapons (along with most of the cool vanity gear that's not summer dress/ sailor stuff) but recently I checked and these go for close to 10mill where as on other servers it's down to 4 mill..

Don't have any craftering class high enough to make it and even if I did I'd have to brake down the weapons to get the core thing cause those to cost a ton on the MB ... and that's another whole bag of chips I don't really wanna open from wut I can tell.

Hopefully by the time DK comes out I will have crafted my way into making enough to get this done though.

Sorry you can't have pets and mounts out at the same time. :( But if you are a Seeker of the Sun you would be a Lion person wearing Lion armor riding a Lion.

1/High Allagan Choker of Slaying :since the SCOB was release to 2 months exclusively T7 after the restriction removed. All for naught. I gave up!!!!
2/Any Monk Gears in FCOB : Months after months farming t10-t12, all I have for my main raid job is the trash Dread Belt. Meanwhile, I had Dread Caster Chest (the third of our raid), Dread Caster Ring ( the third of our raid), Dread dragoon glove ( the second of our raid) and Dread Ninja Helmet (the third of our raid). Thanks to RNG God, it is now officially my off spec (Caster) has more Dread gears than my MNK (2vs1) and be the LEAST geared member in the raid group ( the rest have at least 2 BIS Dread pieces vs me with 1 Trash Belt)......

On the side notes, our Caster and our Brd have EVERY SINGLE BiS pieces drop in FCOB. In addition, both off-spec of two of our members ( also Brd and Caster) have NEARLY EVERY SINGLE BIS pieces drop in FCOB, me not included. The amount of Brd Gears and Caster Gears drop in FCOB is RIDICULOUS!!! And I am looking at something 8/10 figure here, meaning out of 10 loots drop in FCOB, 4 will be of Brd, 4 will be of Caster, and the remaining 2 are random.

Oh the sorrow!!!!

Zodiac stuff and high pvp tier stuff because i am way way too lazy.

A complete novus/nexus weapon whatever it is called.

The White Mage zodiac weapon.

Too much work to even think about doing another relic quest, and my WHM owns a weapon stronger than the relic I'm actually working on. And got it in a fraction of the time to boot! The upcoming updates will dictate whether I finish this relic or not.

Probably the High Allagan stuff in general, not because I won't achieve that point eventually, but because when I do, that stuff is just going to be glamour garbage (not even, there might be even better looking gear out there)

Dated Gear :(

I only have a few items, had I known at the time removing them would have lowered the ammount of things I could glamour at the time I would have went on a huge buying spree.

The one thing I did manage to snag was a Dated Lantern Shield Which looks really awsome on a Black Mage, (its a shame There are no high level one handed weapons though)
