4.56 coming March 26th, are you excited?

What are you expecting the most from this patch?

I'm expecting to get stuck behind item level even more. The next trial requirement for the MSQ needs 335, and I'm at 324, so more dungeon grinding or bleeding my bank dry by buying gear

If you have the Centerio Hunt stuff unlocked you can beat up on hunt marked baddies for points and that will easily get you to 340. (though it might take a bit of time.)

I'm so hoping for no dungeon or trial for the MSQ's last part, but I am expecting one all the same. Either way excited or not I'm waiting for mid April to hit it.

I don't think Mendacity tomes would be too hard to farm up at this point, actually. Probably better to focus on them with a combination of running Ridoranna to collect that i360 gear. I'd recommend finding some groups to help clear Deltascape and Sigmascape normal as well so you can get the mendacity weapons (need to clear O8N four times for the crystalloid needed for the trade item). You should also be getting a bit of Genesis tomes too to trade for solid i390 pieces. When you're geared up enough for it, I'd recommend tackling Orbonne (so you can start turning in coins for Genesis gear upgrade items) as well as Alphascape normal. It'll take a bit of time and effort if you want to take it that far, but once you get to the i380+ range you should have no problems on gear until a good few levels into the next expansion. Even with just the Mendacity/Lighthouse gear you should be able to handily get through the end of the MSQ up to the end of the content coming out next week. Don't forget the dungeon drops to tide you over, as well! Between all that, there should be no reason to bother with the i330/340 gear at this point, especially when you factor first time bonuses and such.

Ridoranna? (Google..) Raid, not in my duty finder. All I have is Rabanastre and Deletascape, and I haven't tried them, or any other raids yet.
I've only been playing about 35 days now, and I've pretty much done only MSQ stuff, and a few extra dungeons occasionally when I had to gear up more to continue the MSQ.. I'll be completely lost when all that ends.

Ah, well if you've yet to do Rabanastre then I highly recommend you run that ASAP. You can slightly boost some gear with i330 pieces that can drop in there, and you'll need to clear that first before you can move on to the Lighthouse. Fortunately, the ilvl requirements for Rab have gone down since release, and with current gear levels the place is much easier to deal with than it was about a year ago. Deltascape should be pretty simple as well, though you may want to use the party finder to find groups for it more easily. Add in the description that you're a first timer with a bonus, and that should get some people's attention. Clearing Deltascape lets you unlock Sigmascape, and Sigmascape into Alphascape. I should also mention that the normal Sigmascape raids drop trade parts for i350 gear, which can also help tide you over until you can get your Mendacity/Lighthouse gear. Good luck!
