AF gear - handed to you for dinging 45/50

[Orophin]

AF gear is replaceable as soon as you hit 50, so I don't think it's a huge deal.

I can understand getting introductory gear for endgame dungeons but it is a little disappointing that it's AF gear.

I think its because for Endgame gear, its not the best. Also I noticed the stat difference between gear at level 30 and 35 is VASTLY different so I am assuming 35-45 will be nigh exponential. They are letting you stay viable in your Job, with the gear that shows you job. This way you can participate in content without having to go off to do 100 mini quests, spend a lot of time farming, camping, spamming, or whatever obstacles it takes too keep up with your job.

This guy gets it

[Rivalda_Kreissieg]

Does anyone have an updated list of new armor to come? Or some discovered gear?

[Demospata]

Armor isn't even that good stop crying over everything

[Danathos]

Well apparently they think differently.

This gear will be replaced immediately upon doing any of the coming end game additional content.

^^ this exactly. AF is shiny and neat but I don't really think its meant to be anything special at all. Its just the preview armor from the character creator. One could almost be certain that in November it will all be cast aside and forever more used only as a set of armor to jump you from one patches general gear score to the next.

He gets it, yeah. But that's a matter of opinion.
I like that it's AF gear, you're really starting out looking like what you are, you FEEL like you are that job when you wear that, it's good to have it that way.

It's meant to be upgraded and isn't useless at all. #getwithit.

lol I am sure 8 months to a year from now we will all be well beyond the limits of it's upgrade-ability, ppl shouldn't get so attached to silly things. Armor comes armor goes, its that way 5-50 it will be that way with every bit of new content added. When crystal tower comes out there will be drops in it for every class better than everything we have seen so far. Its also likely that the new equipment that players obtain will likewise be upgradable thus invalidating your comment as better armor will provide greater advantage from said upgrades that are provided. So back atcha bud, get with it!
