Gear level, the final nail in the games coffin.

More aptly, it keeps me from even entering AK, since i only have AF and moogle weapons/GC weapons. how am i supposed to get darklight if i can not play the dungeons that give you tokens to get darklight?

The level 49 eight man mission gives 100 Tomestones of Philosophy and it can be done pretty easily if you go to mor dhona you should see shouts for "CM" or you could even do that Tonberry dungeon its not very hard i wiped a few times while wearing AF but once you learn the tricks to them you won't have any problems, my advice for 4 man dungeons try and get friends on your server that one rage quit if someone dies once. hell even darkhold gives 40 Philosophy and thats a level 44 dungeon.

For this situation, run the other 4 man dungeons. The Wanderer's Palace for example is a good place to get some tokens while getting intermediate gear that is better than AF. You can run AK and Ifrit with these drops easily. Other than AV (ick) they are faceroll enough to PUG with a bunch of fresh 50s in AF.

Glad its coming. Too many Dragoons with Lv 49 white Wep joining Garuda HM.

Only reason my 2nd ring and leggings are old'ish is because AK does not want to give them to me. Not seen my heal pants or a ring drop once in all the times I've done it. Bored of farming it.

Did Garuda HM in full AF + level 49 white as a DRG. Garuda HM is piss easy

Must have full darklight to do the stuff that gets you full darklight. *sigh* This is the type of system that leads to shouts like these.

I did Garuda HM with a dragoon that didn't even attack the boss, ran around the battlefield the whole fight and got killed by wind plumes, didnt even bother raising. Both of you got carried.

Item level determines Marteria Stat Caps. It's prefactored in. The Class specific Crafted Gear is the second best gear in the game right now.

And you must not own any of it if you are still calling it class specific.

My favorite ppl are the ones in Mor Dhona that stand around spamming either "Full darklight gear and relic weapon LF CM speed runs" or "LF DL geared x for CM speed run".

And what about the Posers?

Those guys who stand in the crowd with their relic+1 out showing off their glow to everybody, running in circles and casting spells to catch everyone's attention.

God, I hate Posers so much. The whole server and their dog have a relic weapon, nobody cares, it's nothing special.

Heh, yeah. Saw plenty of them in 1.0 as well. It's like cool, you have that, now go USE it.

[Umbrah]

Welp. Now, we'll see shouts "LF X class, with gear level x"
+ rest of complaining

Honestly, join an FC which plays as casually and 'non-elitist' as yourself.

No the system won't require average ilvl 60 to enter a 60 dungeon. It will probably require only average ilvl 46 to enter Wanderer's Palace, then average ilvl 51 to enter AK, and average ilvl 56 for Ifrit.

The stupid people that are already calling ilvl 60 for a ilvl 60 dungeon are already doing so, it will mean nothing to them.

It's the majority of the regular minded people that have minimum expectations who only want you to do stuff the REGULAR way, STEP BY STEP, ilvl 50 >> 55 >> 60, that wil benefit most.

Great, I am tired of having a player queueing for garuda with level, i kid you not, 40 weapons, af gear, and level 20 accessories. This has got to end. I cannot stand having to carry one or more people that refuse to actually gear for the content they are attmpemting.

I do not expect full darklight, but i do expect at least a piece or two, some gear from ak, and the level 50 gc weapon. Seriously, this is all too common.
