And already players have the DarkLight Armor? How is that possible..?. I though you can earn only 300 stones a week.. Any information on it?.
Well it was in 1.0 after all.
There are two types of Stones, Philosophy and Mythology. One type you're limited per week, the other you're not.
Darklight is obtained from the unlimited Stones. And they're relatively easy to get, too. You get 100 from both of the last two story missions, for example, and fewer from each boss in the 41 dungeon onward. If you do dungeons with any frequency it'll be easy to get.
darklight not in 1.0? where have you been?
It costs tier 1 allagan tomestones (one blue stripe), which do not have the 300-per-week limit. You're able to get these tomestones for exchanging gear with cracked materia slotted in it to the calamity salvager.
My HQ Hart Guisarme with 3-4 materia in it gave me 500 tomestones, for example. By exchanging my other gear with 1-2 materia for roughly 50-100 tomestones each, I was able to afford the Darklight Cuirass (800 tomestones I think).
You get 300 Mythology per week, which is Artifact2 (as it seem is best gear at the moment)
However, you get darklight from Philosophy that have no limit per week at all. So yeah, people can go crazy farming to get it, Or being 1.0 player and have it.
Oh.. I though DarkLight was the best armor in the game , for the moment?. Thanks for the info , anyways!:
Not even close to the best gear in the game. There is the Allagan set, Odin set as well as AFv2 and all are better than DL destroy it and take a long time to get.
Dungeon Gear = Grinding Fodder
AF = Primal and Endgame Diapers
DL = Endgame Big Boy Pants
AFv2 & Allagan = I'm so Pro!
So, mythology tomestones. Where the bloody hell do these drop from anyways.
Oh lord, that's rough lol I hope CT is more generous than that.
wanderer's palace drops ilvl 55 stuff, your af hat, legs, gloves, shoes are ilvl 50 - af chest is 55
most jobs will want their af chest over wanderer's palace loot
amdapor keep drops ilvl 60 stuff, every slot is an upgrade over af for every job
darklight is bought with philo stones, ilvl 70, and an upgrade over everything from amdapor
the relic armor (af2? not sure what it's referred to as in game) is bought with myth stones, and currently best attainable
wanderer's palace gives some (50?) philo stone per clear, amdapor gives more (80?) but amdapor also gives 40 myth stones
by contrast, ifrit hard gives 10 philo and 4 myth
he's absolutely easier than amdapor though, but if you're not using a primal weapon already it's a good place to start
You obtain all too fast in 2.0... its too bad imo. In one week lvls 50, AF full, magitek armor, DL (some hardcore players)...
No they aren't, AFv2 and Allagan are identical (with a different stat), for example here are all that i mentioned for Bard.

You said my post wasn't exactly right. I didn't mention Amdapor, I wasn't giving a tiered list of all possible gear I was listing the blue sets and their order of magnitude. There is a lot of crafted gear that is better than AF as well and things in-between. I have a Dema Mask from back in 1.0 so yes, there is that as well. Along with the Vanya for mages and Gryphonskin for DD and Darksteel for tanks. + melds all of those are better than AF.
It will be interesting to see some comparison tests in the months ahead between the Allegan and AF2 sets. While on the face of it quite similar there are differences which may prove significant.
On Monk for example the Allegan set focuses on crit rate while the AF2 has a clear advantage in acc and skill speed. Looks like AF2 is likely to be superior.
In the slots where there is an overall difference over the other set;
Crit Hit rate Allegan +69
Determination AF2 +8
Accuracy AF2 +59
Skill speed AF2 +24
STR,VIT and DEF are equal on the two sets.
