To Much Experience

[Blakemere]

Unless you're going to keep buying MSQ boost, you're going to have to do the MSQ anyway to unlock further dungeons. It's really the best solution to your gearing problem.

And if you are going to keep boosting through the MSQ, then leveling dungeons gives one guaranteed gear now every run and you can also earn poetics. Also, those boosts should come with gil, so you can buy vendor gears as well at strategic moments of your choosing.

I'm more than happy to do Heavensward and onwards, looking forward to it in fact. It was just ARR I didn't want to do again. The problem I found was I didnt get gear anything like fast enough from dungeons because after one run I'd be on to the next and roulette groups tend to want to go straight to bosses rather than clear side rooms and stuff for extra chests. The 300k didn't last very long either to be honest.
I just want to mention though that I'm not whining about it, I solved it by putting my last 60k into crafting when I realised I couldn't afford to gear up much more. I'm also level 53 now so can just get poetics gear now which I know lasts a good while.
My original post was just to empathise a little with the op and to point out that exp can actually be too fast at times which surprised me as well as a returning player.
