Garuda Requirements

[Velev]

I want to do Garuda HM but I know my gear isn't quite up to par yet.

How much gear do I need to be acceptable for these runs?

Looking at your character, you would need another 1 or 2 DL pieces and should be fine but not a must and i'm talking about being OT. As for your accessories, if you're going to OT, i would at least get the HQ versions and add some VIT materia which aren't very expensive and easy to meld on there till you get more DL later.

Overall, i would personally get another DL piece that has the most impact on your stats so check which DL is a big upgrade for you and get that one, that should alone be enough to do Garuda.
