Help with aethercell gloves

[Alpheus]

Im trying to scare up these gloves. I (without knowing this) bought a level skip for a scholar so i could get them.

Sadly you dont get squat...so i got shafted after blowing 25 bucks on square(not happy). Is there any other way to get them besides that yolaine from the hunts? as its gonna take me forever to get to second lt. so i can do a farm to get the centurio seals to buy it.

Ive been searching everywhere to no avail and i think im completely shafted.

The PvP ones (they reprinted this set and can be previewed at the Wolves Den PvP hub area which can be accessed after unlocking it at the Aftcastle city warp in Limsa Lominsa, you wanna look for the Grand Company HQ for the Maelstrom who operate the Wolves Den Pier) are your quickest option, once you do get hunts unlocked in HW you can do weekly B rank and that day's regular hunts and be pretty close to being able to buy it as the price was reduced at a certain point I think, but the subsequent expansion Stormblood has Hunts as well that also use the same currency and they have their own hunt assignments so I might be mistaking having double the sources to farm up those hunt seals with a price nerf on the gloves themselves.

Otherwise you can buy them at the Forgotten Knight at Ishgard for 70 centurio seals and the B rank reward for HW hunts is 100 so once you can do those the Aethercell gloves are as good as yours. But HW was forever ago so idk if a GC rank is needed, as it's usually just expansion progress that opens up the 3 tiers of daily hunts with you finally unlocking B rank hunts at around the halfway point or a bit beyond that.

It is. You still need the GC rank to unlock the Hunt before the subsequent expansion Hunts can be unlocked. A higher level character can get 2nd Lt. in a couple of hours. OP may already have a lot of the seals needed if they've been doing leveling roulettes. Once Sgt. Second Class is obtained, it's smooth sailing since the OP would have access to Expert Deliveries for getting the rest of the seals needed.
