3.x MSQ iLvl block

[Pori_Dessu]

Eh? Just wait for SB early access and buy the "white" crafted gear from NPCs for level 60 that will likely be released - just like what happened in HW.

They should be something like i240 or i250. Purchasable off an NPC.

Thing is, I'm not 100% certain how it was for HW, but I don't remember seeing vendors selling those items in the ARR areas. If it's like people said, and the vendors in SB areas will be selling them, I won't have access to them anyway. Of course, I may be mistaken, but it never hurts to actually try and prepare myself for the worst, as I said, I may have sounded negative, but all I wanted was to know the fastest way to get the gear before the maintenance, which btw, is looking doable.

My suggestion is to do enough to upgrade your worst items to allow you to continue with the MSQ. You will get lore and dungeon drops as you level which might help a bit too. Your end goal is ilvl 230. Keep in mind the Garo gear is 235 and all the lore stuff is 230. You should be able to bump up your ilvl pretty quickly.

Really right now PvP is fastest. Even if your team finishes last its 500 Wolf marks and accessories are 1000 marks each. A victory nets you 1000 marks and the roulette will give you another 1000 on top of that once a day. A frontline match goes for a max of 20 mins and usually go for about 15. If you go into the options of your duty finder and select Frontline Freelancer it will bypass Grand Company restrictions too which will help speed it up. Look for the little cog icon at the top left of the Duty Finder UI. Frontline Freelancer is towards the bottom of the options.

EDIT: Oh I see your already at it :P Well you should be able to get there pretty comfortably. The MSQ doesn't have too much filler in HW. About 40 or so story quests in total, 3 dungeons and a trial.

Yeah, I couldn't pull an all-nighter (Really tired from a whole week of doing nothing else besides the MSQ), but even so, I already got full iLvl 235 accessories (with one 230 iLvl ring), So I'm confident I can do it before the maintenance now. There's exactly 34 (35, counting the one I'm on right now) quests left for me, and considering I did all the 2.x lvl 50 MSQ in two days, and those amount for more than double that amount, I'll probably finish it all before the maintenance as well. Thanks for the support. ^-^

Why not just wait for release? I imagine that they'll add gear to the msq quests in the same vein as ARR when HW released so you won't have to grind for tome or pvp gear to continue the story.

Would do that, if I didn't have only a few quests, and wasn't currently on one that's iLvl blocked. Plus, I REALLY wanted to be over with HW by Early Access, to avoid spoilers, and all that. But thanks for replying. ^^

People will resell them in the MB, but for a higher price.

Yes they will, try to resist the temptation to buy your way to better gear, there will be price gouging.

Considering I'm extremely broke right now, I'm almost sure I wouldn't be able to afford the Overpriced white gear anyway. lol
