    Haha, I was a bit blind on how to use MB. But unfortunately, all i380 crafted items are pretty expensive for me (400-500k) and the book (weapon) for summoner is around 550k...

    And yes daily roulette is indeed good for getting tome. I "faming" the PvP one because no matter what, you still gain 20 Genesis and 50 Mendacity after each games.



    Actuallya and for MSQs, I thought each quests on had an iLvL requirement. Now, I'm starting 4.3 questline and still requirement so far (except for dungeon, like Iscah said).

    Yeah, the quests don't have iLvL requirements - although I actually think it'd be better for story pacing if they did.

    If you're in 4.3 you'll want to be... i335, I think? (need to check that) before you get on the boat to the castrum, because that eventually leads to a battle instance with a dramatic lead-up that's a bit disappointing to get rejected from if your gear isn't high enough! A level check before that point would be ideal.

    (Apparently post-Heavensward had a similar issue where you could get blocked from proceeding to the Final Steps of Faith battle.)


    If you can't get your crafted grimoire, the Lost Allagan i330 weapons are the highest "easy to purchase" ones you can get. Everything else requires running trials or raids to earn tokens, or the time sink known as Eureka.

    And yes, I prefer to gear-up a bit and avoid of beeing a pain for other players in dungeons.

    Speaking of that, I will have enough Mendacity tomes to buy 3 items. And one item (except torso and leg) with Genesis tomes. What I should get first ?

    I don't think I have access to Raid Roulette yet and beside I never did any Raid so far in FF14.

    Always upgrade your lowest ilvl items first. If all are equal it goes chest > legs > hat,hand,foot > belt and jewelry - in terms of stats allocation.

    Google "Crystal Tower FFXIV" and find the quest that starts it in Mor Dhona.

    It unlocks the lvl 50 24 man raids which are fairly faceroll at this point. They are the equivalent of Wow's LFR in difficulty. Some things still kill you because you are synced down but they are being run A LOT right now because there is an event (so quick queues) and the story of Crystal Tower may play into Shadowbringers somehow.

    The first quest is "Legacy of Allag" from the 'Outlandish Man' standing near the aetheryte plaza in Revenant's Toll.

    Keep in mind that it's set in post-ARR, so you'll get characters like Cid who are still at that point in the plot and not the "current version" of themselves that you've interacted with since.

    Yet one more extra consideration: With the implementation of the World Visit system, you may try hopping to other worlds in your data center to see if prices may be cheaper.

    As for the HoH suggestion, suspecting that if OP hasn't run any raids to even unlock that roulette, probably also hasn't run any PotD to unlock HoH.

    I have unlocked PotD at lvl 17 from quest (in fact, I try to unlock everything but it's a bit laborious) and I cannot do HoH because I must have a certain lvl on PotD before.
    Same for Crystal Tower, I actually have access to but still haven't been there.

    For Eureka I'm not doing it, but might try juste once, to see what it looks like.

    I see there are a few websites that show the currents price on each server if I find a good price I'll hop.
