I'm back from Lost Ark

No. It's more time consuming to get endgame gear in FFXIV. I am locked out every week, I can't finish my tomestone gear for weeks, it takes even more weeks on top of that get a weapon. I haven't even finished my tomestone set on white mage. God forbid I try gearing my Red Mage or Tank.. I don't do savage, but that apparently has an rng element too on top of it all.

You don't need to be 1490 in Lost Ark right now. It is completely unnecessary, and significantly more expensive (whether you are spending real money, or gold+mats) right now than it will be if players just waited until more content is released where ilvl being that high actually matters.

You don't need tomestone gear to raid tho, you can do it in full crafted, which you can get day 1 of a patch.

And even then, full parties negate any ilvl requirements in XIV.


AFAIK in lost Ark, no such system exists. You need the gear to even enter the raids, and to be able to do that day one costs real money.

So you can buy crafted gear off the marketboard, can you not pay your way to endgame in Lost Ark? I got to 1370 in one day on Glavier. That class was released last week. By the way, I haven't spent a dime on progression.

For context, 1370 would be considered endgame, and give you access to all current raids in Lost Ark (Argos+hard mode abyss). Sorry I forgot about Velganos, nobody does him though.
