Item Level too high

[Drakzen1]

There's item level 119+ in FFXI at 99 cap. Just sayin.

The reason behind this was because they didnt want to raise the level past 99

The complete oppisite is going on in ARR where they do plan to raise the level beyone 50 but already have i90 gear

Exactly, in XI it's more relevant because unlike ARR, XI has additional stats, like for example:



In ARR? Item level is more of the "progression point", it's not going to go very high very fast since we don't know where the "final cap" will be or even what the next cap is - People would mostly assume it will keep having huge leaps like it did in Vanilla so far, it leapt high because it incorporated end-game gear from 1.x, which defaulted at ilvl 70, soon to be boosted to 80. Ilvl in generic MMOs tend to more be a "score" than anything.
