I'm an ELITIST and SO CAN YOU! (How to avoid ridicule at endgame)

[Naberrie]

Ahh, I understand better what you're saying now. Unfortunately, SE has not separated the regular items from HQ ones in the Market Boards categories or subsequent listings of items. They are all listed together under each item's individual page. Meaning, click on each of the items you are interested in and scroll through the list of ones currently available for sale. Scattered among the regular ones will be the HQ (usually near the bottom of the list, as they tend to be higher priced than the normal quality versions). If you are still only seeing normal grey ones, then you can assume that there is no HQ currently available. You have to pull up the actual sale list per item to see these, though.

Okay, now that helps. Thanks. Will look for it. I'm already shopping for level 50 gear (should hit 46 tonight), so next time I'm in town in I'll check.

I usually always try to keep my gear on par with my level.
Is getting Darklight gear tedious at all?
Shields i am finding hard to find anything in the level 30 range
The boards are were i usually find the best Armour or weapons.
And thanks for the post- still new at MMO's

AF is gear that will be given u by class quests (lv45-50 ones) for "FREE".
OP did really good post for newby ppl's through there already was similar threads.
1 Get AF and pre relic weapon (can mend it with materia that u will use in quest)
2 GO and DO 20 CM runs
3 buy few DL , kill Ifrit (until desired weapon drop ) Can kill only 1ce if have Gil to purchase Giantsgall weapon (legacy server only)
4 20 CM again
5 start relic quest and progress to garuda
6 start AK & kill Garuda
7 buy last pieces DL if needed still & kill Titan (also finishes relic)

Ok, thanks for the explanation! Still another thing. What a CM now? A DL? Sorry, but acronyms mean nothing for MMO freshmen like me. Anyway, I booked this thread. I may understand it better later.

So I just checked my market. No HQ of any accessory for level 50. Most not even NQ. There's almost zero accessories to buy for 50. Nothing that gives DEX for my BRD.

Please look forward to it in patch 2.1.

I am very much so :]!

[CrisGer]

need help with some of the terms here.

Ok AF is Artifact Gear so that is better to have if we can get it

what is AK? and DF? please explain and we will appreciate it very much. thanks

[Naberrie]

AK is Amador Keep, a high level dungeon. DF is Duty Finder.

Very nice post. I was a bit nervous about reaching the endgame but this really helped. I've been enjoying the game a lot so far and I look forward to getting to level 50.
