Grand Company: Should I save my seals for a promotion, or buy gear?

[JohnJSal]

Hi everyone. I couldn't post this in the gameplay forum apparently because my character level isn't high enough (23!?), but anyway...

I'm wondering if I should save my seals to constantly promote my rank, or if it's worth buying some gear first. I was going to buy the conjurer's cane, but thought I'd ask here first just to see what you all say.

Thanks!

P.S. It seems a little silly that the same currency used for gear is used for promotions. They should have made promotions depend on something else.

It's level 25 to post in general last I checked.

Personally, I'm using them on promotions. The gear isn't best at max level so I'm not too worried about getting it.

I'm not lvl 50 so i don't really have the experience but i think you should save them for promotions.
You change gear all the time at lower levels, and although the GC gear is slightly better than the others, it's not really worth it.

I'm spending all the seals I get on promotions as well. Apparently when your rank is high enough you can trade dungeon gear (the green and pink stuff from chests) for seals.

My friends and I are working on promotions as well

I keep getting mine capped, when you start doing fates at max lvl you'll get more than you need

Supply & provisioning missions generate seals at pretty good clip as well. I can make about 2.5K a day if I do all eleven with HQ items.

lvl 49 fates gives 250 each I think

I should point out that I do these eleven missions with my highest DoL (Miner) and higher DoH (Goldsmith) at 45, and the rest rather lower, average level around 25. Missions at level 50 should produce about 600-700 each for an HQ item.

the gear u get from quests are sufficient for you to progress through the contents, so unless u want the looks of the gc gear, there is no need to waste seals to buy the gear.

also, dungeons have a lot of good gear too.

generally there isn't much point getting gc gear unless you want the absolute best for everything lvl, but you lvl up fairly fast, almost too fast to warrant spending seals to get those things.
