Ilvl90 Gear?

So a short back story, my friend and I played upon initial release. Life issues caused us to give up the game for quite a while. The heavensward expansion got us all hyped up again so we came back about a month ago.

We have some level 50s, but have only beat the story through Ultima Weapon so obviously we do not actually have access to Heavensward yet. I realize you need to beat the Steps of Faith, which requires ilvl 90 gear.

I seen that kind of gear required out dated tomes, so is there no way to actually get the required gear.. or do I have to completely bypass it and go straight to Ironworks Set? I had hoped to beat SoF and get access to new Jobs and then finish content using that job.

You can bypass it and go for ironworks. Also the higher end level 50 dungeons drop i90+ armors for you

i am led to believe that the post 2.0 main story now rewards you ilvl 110 gear.

the i90 gear your referring to however can be aquired by doing the 2.4 dungeons, or hunts.

Your best bet is to unlock the lvl 50 dungeons and just grind those for tomes/gear to get to the iLvl requirements, There is also the Crystal Tower dungeons that will help get there.

Main relic weapon is also ilvl90. I think.

Awesome, to be honest we just really did not want to get stuck farming gear and weapons for a job that is not going to be our main, just to get access to the jobs we really want.

Can anyone confirm this yet? All I see in patch notes is

Quote:

[2.0] Certain item and gil rewards for main scenario and job quests have been adjusted to accommodate returning players.

... which doesnt really say it does. I hope it at least gives tokens to help buy the gear so I wont have to grind as much just to get into HW.

The level 50 job quest (at least for white mage) now rewards you your ilvl 50 robe, and also your ilvl 90 robe. Not sure why it rewards both, probably because the ilvl 50 one is a more or less unique item that they didn't want to remove. I assume this changed with patch 3.0. I didn't complete this quest until post-3.0, and I haven't done any of the other level 50 job quests but I assume they changed their rewards as well.

In Snowcloak, Temple of Quan (hard) and Sastasha (hard) you can get items with "Antique" in the name. You can trade them in Mor Dhonna for the ilevel 90 gear.

Or buy cheap crafted lv50 / ilevel 115 gear in the market board (on Ragnarok around 9k each piece in HQ).

I started playing again on Friday after over half a year and was half-way through 2.4. I can confirm that the story missions reward i110 gear. I didn't receive a full set, but I'm guessing earlier quests that I had already completed handed out the other pieces.

What about common i115 gear from vendors in Ishgard? Can you use that to boost your ilevel? Someone bring it back to you or purchase over market?

I am curious about that as well, what are the limitations for someone not in HW yet. Can I buy Ishgard gear from the Market Boards?

I started story just b4 rahmu and iv actually been collecting 110 gear for two jobs. My bard for most part has a full set now. When i started i was i90 even now im i104 with a tank set of 110 also. Hope that helped, story is easiest way to get gear.

That's crafted gear so as long as you have the expack and meet the level requirement there's nothing to stop you from using the I115 gear.

Oh that sounds much better. At least it gets rid of all the grinding gaps for tomes to be able to do the story... assuming they designed it to keep up with requirements.

I was thinking about that too. Might get a guildy to relay them to me if they can. Get the feeling market prices will be overpriced knowing its an easier way to meet the requirement.

You can craft augmentation for the original job gear, which can be used to get a dyeable version for glamours.
