Amdapor Keep Gear Recommendations?

[mr_wazzabi]

I currently have my darklight subligar and the rest of my gear is artifact monk gear. Is puging for ak suicide right now? I need to run it for my grand company promotion and weapon

You can do ak in full af gear once you hit 50. However a word of warning, don't make it sound like you're only doing ak for the promotion and weapon(you'll be doing it far more due to myth and gearing up for titan/coil).

Ya i plan on playing it many times. Getting the gc weapon early will help all my runs overall as it's just a bit weaker than the ifrit weapon. Plus i have a massive load of company seals with nothing to spend on. Thanks for the response

Hmm, derp?

AK in full AF gear with a 40 something weapon (clearly he doesnt have the GC one as he is going in for that purpose) through the DUTY FINDER as a DPS is one of two things:

1) the other DPS is Relic Darklighted and hence carrying you through Demon WALL.
2) The other DPS has subpar gear & no experience of the place like you and NO MATTER how smart you think you are, you will not clear the place in a hundred years.

Dont listen to all that mumbo jumbo of advice from people out of touch with the reality because their FC buddies +1 are carrying them.
AK through the duty finder is HARDER than Ifrit, so farm CM for 2-3 body pieces of Darklight and get that Ifrit weapon so you dont look like the lazy DPS who is queuing for a boost.

Snip...

The one time i was able to complete it with no problems was this ^

I still had only one piece of DL, 1 DPS had a couple more pieces of DL, atleast their lvl 50 weapons, and the other was almost full DL and had a garuda weapon, plus i had a scholar healer (YAY!). And best of all I didn't get yelled at when I screwed up on a pull. I really like not getting elists jerks when I'm fracking tanking.

P.S. Sorry for the snip...stupid frelling post limit.

If you know how to play your class, then your gear will be not that big of an issue. Skill does more for you in AK, than Gear. Most important part is having a decent weapon (Darklight from Wanderers Palace or Ifrit+). Other then that make sure you have your accessories set, cause those will help a lot and are cheap to get from the Market Boards (Rubelite Stuff etc.) Other then that try to squeeze in Praetoriums and CM to get your Darklight Stuff ASAP. Once you got half DL on MNK, there shouldn't be any issue to join Shout groups for AK etc. and get it done quickly

I've been spamming CM speedruns. Thats how i got my first dl piece. CM seems way easier than PM cause of the cannons

I dont know how you managed to get into a CM Speed Run without DL - Over here people demand at least 5 piece of DL and Garuda Weapon to be allowed in those.

If you are smart AK is fine in AF gear. But you have to play smart. No derping in that place.

Oh I know Ive run it a few times with members of my FC and it wasn't difficult to heal at all in AF and a DL Necklace. I'm just saying there's a small group on Ultros who demand people be grossly overgeared for content instead of being geared appropriately. Just this morning someone was shouting for a group for HM Garuda - Requiring Full DL and a Titan Weapon from the Tank...Um...What?
