Gear level, the final nail in the games coffin.

[Odd]

My question is, will the gear level requirements be mandatory? It sure sounds like it given the word requirement, but I think that's a stupid idea and hope I'm wrong. Because then what if I get some better gear than my friends, or vice versa? Could we no longer play together until the other one catches up?

No its a static gear floor. If you don't have an average of ilvl 49 or higher you probably won't be able to do Ifrit Hard Mode. The gear level is only a block for undergeared people, not overgeared.

Changes like this prevent a good community from forming.

If it`s a community with people that think like you, then it`s a good thing.

On a more serious note, don`t be a drama queen.

While this feature might create a few problems the ones it will solve are much more. Nice move from the dev team as this was a much needed feature.

I am pretty late here but you can't promote yourself to Lieutenant without completing the Commander's level 50 quest which is "Complete Amdapor Keep".


Um what? There is no Darklight weapon. The only "weapons" that drop in Palace are the blunted weapons and pieces to make the weapons required for A Relic Reborn. And those weapons are really damned expensive to get crafted or buy depending on the class.

Say again?

And gearscore is rediculas easy to fool.
An elitist like the OP is complaining about would have checked gear manually and wouldnt have taken him either way

Um... the 'DL' Weapons do drop from wanderer's every time you beat the boss. They're crap though, I got so excited the first time I saw one, the bill, but then realized it was worse than my mog axe :/ I thought darklight was the best? Kinda stinks we gotta farm for the DL armor just to be 'hard' endgame when the weapons aren't up to snuff.

Good. Getting kinda tired of seeing people in AK with level 28 stuffs along the right hand side. Especially when they bought the darklight chest piece instead of the jewelry presumably because it looked cool.

I'm curious how the gear requirement will work. Will every piece of equipment need to be x level or the average of all the pieces?

When you make an equipment set, the level of the set is determined by weapon level.

how can that piece of junk stronger than primal wep ? and primal ilvl 70 is decent atm, the mog wep is equal with the garuda one, and DL is not even the best, it is ilvl70 while the other one is ilvl80 or 90 dont remember it well
