AF gear - handed to you for dinging 45/50

[LoLo]

If the OP is mad about how easy Artifact Gear is obtained...please...no one tell him about the relic weapons and relic +1.

What a surprise: DwightParkman is still around getting mad that people who don't spend over 7 hours daily on a game can still get the best gear and see all the content.

DP, I told you this in beta, and I'll tell you again here: this game isn't for you.

The sooner you realize that your fringe, niche tastes are simply not marketable the better for you, and the better for the world (because one can only presume that you'd have enough self-awareness to unsub at that point).

it makes any gear from 45-50 from those dungeons and quests useless, thats what I don't like, if they at least made it 1 every lvl from 45-50 it would at least make the 45-50 gear useless.

I would say make it attainable at 40 and have a quest for each piece at each level so at 45 you will have a 5 level gap to enjoy the AF and know theres DL gear waiting at level 50 & with hard work.. AF+1's ^&^.. that makes sense instead of
at lv45 here 4 pieces and at lv50 a semi-challenge fight for lv50 body fight and 2 dungeons later puff its over .. heres DL pieces.. makes your AF-gear seems a bluh ><

It really is a horrible feeling being told that you flat-out cannot participate in the dungeon due to you having a lvl 49 sword and a lvl 44 shield. I had this happen to me in castrum m. several times so far and it just makes me not want to play the game more and more.

And those people should be told to shut up. Because CM is the easiest of the dungeons, and you most certainly do NOT need better gear than that 49 sword and 44 shield. Looking at your gear on the armory, the ONLY things I *might* complain about, would be your ear and bracelets, but I would only take issue with them if you were trying to do like Garuda, which you really should be about half AK greens before you do that.

Given that you have a CRAFTED sword, it is actually better than most, I wouldn't worry about fixing that until you get lucky with a primal drop or you complete AK for the first time and go buy your GC weapon. The shield can only be fixed with either WP runs, Titan drop, or the relic. So again... these people are picking the WRONG things to take beef with, on your gear (not that you are trying to do something wrong with your current level.) If I were you, I would use Darklight to replace out your accessories first, and rely on AK greens to fill out the rest.

AF is weak.....looks nice but it's weak. I have to agree it's NOT handed to you, you need to complete multiple quests plus leveling to get it. it does take some time especially for the more casual players out there.

[Zuri]

Because AF is crap gear and you'll be replacing it in about 1-2 days later anyways? Why spend hours in hard content for it to be nulled out within the next 24 hours.

Dude I totes tank AK, Ifrit, Garuda, AND titan with a 44 shield :P And my FC doesn't complain because they know how good I am. You just need to find a friendly FC and prove yourself. I BELIEVE IN YOU!

af is for you and you alone.. solo quest is what it should be period.. i mean maybe a solo fight or 2 would have been cool but other than that it does not seem needed.. however if af 2 or 3 gets released down the line i can see that being harder to obtain and possibly needing group effort

AF2 is already out. It requires tomestones of mythology which require you to do group activities.

So yes, AF2 requires a group effort.
