Regarding Kugane. I've just hit 60, and I'm still in Heavensward quests. I hope you would refrain from automatically assuming ignorance.

The point is, is a fresh 60 expected to have enough tomestones for the gear? Or is a fresh 60 expected to first go to the market board and gear up? Doing all the quests, there's about 1.7 million gil, and 255 pieces sell for anywhere between 15k to 30k, making it approximately 200-300k investment, just for a job quest?

Remember quest rewards towards level 60 is only itemlevel 139. This is talking about a character just getting to 60, with one or two 145 dungeon pieces. The 159 is already after spending the limited Poetics on those 260 pieces.

It just seems so odd that it's tuned so high. Odd that anyone would expect a fresh 60 to first go buy gear before doing the natural progression of quests.

I did. Not much help when every 2 seconds or so he takes off 10% of your max HP. It seems it's just not tuned for fresh 60 gear.
