The level 60 RDM quest is literally impossible EVEN ON very easy. Please fix!

Please learn to actually follow what the game says to do, play your job correctly, and get proper gear for the level of content you are attempting to do, before blaming the game for your own inability to do the above.

The lv.60 quest can be tricky at first but is by no means impossible, especially if you're playing on Baby's First MMO difficulty versus the regular version.

Hmm. The post format and the Pokemon themed name seems rather familiar. Suppose the guy must have gotten banned from the xiv subreddit itself and not just the discord for his constant spam.

Well like someone pointed out this is more than likely a troll but for people who might be having a similar issue, I had the same in some lvl job 60 quests and that is because lvl 50 gear is absolutely too weak for the lvl 60 class quests making them impossible when you have to face boss npcs, which happens often since by the time you are 60 you might just be arriving at heavensward considering how high the xp rates are so you are technically not ready for them gear wise and you can’t access lvl 60 gear vendor till the end of heavensward. (And new players won’t have the Gil to buy 60 gear)

You shouldn't have any Ironworks gear on at lvl 60 and expect to have a normal game experience. Especially in solo duties in which there is no one to carry you.

There is a rather glaring disparity in the gear requirements for the level 60 RDM/SAM quests vs. the other level 60 job quests; the reason being that when they released the "normal" ilvl at that point in the game's life was much higher then it was for the other jobs due to level 60 vendor gear being available and what not. The same also applies to the level 60 introductory quests for some of the SB questlines like WAR as well as the level 70 DNC/GNB (Which expect you to be in the ShB level 70 gear at minimum).

I was rather caught off-guard by how badly the SAM quest floored me when I tried jumping into it immediately after hitting 60 like I did with all of the other jobs, but simply upgrading to shire gear fixed that.

The girl DOES NOT EVEN heal herself and my vercure even when used twice is super weak.

Which is why you keep all the AOEs away from her that you can. Heal to full as needed.

Took about two hours but it is completed now.
I had to bait AoEs away from her.

There you go. Not impossible, just a mechanic to learn and perfect.

This TBH. They expect you to be in nothing lower than i230 gear really(which completely mops the floor with any other 60 fight). I did the RDM fight on my LP alt, and I wasn't thinking too highly of it. I didn't even know Arya could die. I was still using most of my leveling gear, which was still mostly Ironworks gear. I had the shire weapon and 3 i255 accessories, and basically it took a lot longer than it was supposed to, the Void Fire got close to going off, and Arya almost died. She has roughly 80,000 HP, but she won't move out of AOEs, so it goes away quickly.

That was on normal though. I imagine the OP was still using an Ironworks weapon. Weapon upgrades are very important.

[StriderShinryu]

While obviously not impossible, I actually did find a few of the quests for RDM and SAM a little tougher than expected on level throughout Stormblood. Not a bad thing, but they're far from the cakewalk of a lot of other job quests.

Can you describe what the level 60 RDM quest is? Cause I did it, I had no issues at all and thus completely vacuumed it out of my mind.

(Funnily enough this player lets her eat the last three AOEs and she dies after the duty complete pops up. heh.)

Gotta keep those AOEs off her.
