Question about I levels on gear

[Claire_Ares]

Stats for gloves, because plate armor stinks with head+body, and legs + feet items.

Gloves-------level---ilevel---def---vit
Calvary------32------34-----61----5
Heavy steel--35-----35-----63-----5
Mythril-------40-----40-----73-----6
High Mythril--44----44-----85-----7
Gallant-------45-----50----102----8


Honestly, with the other stats calvary offers, its not worth upgrading until 40 at the earliest unless you happen to have lots of materia to meld with. I wouldnt waste money on level 44 gear though with AF being level 45.

Ilevel determines the max possible stat (defense/vit etc) allowable on an item, so yes a level 35 Heavy steel gauntlet will have a higher defense/same vit, you just need to add + 4 acc.

Edit: i hate tables

I get it now. I have yet to add materia to anything cause I'm just going to out level it really quickly. Thanks for the explination.
