This is a nerf, for better or worse, and I'm not sure if it's good, at least being added this late in the game.

The Primals and dungeons now have requirements.

An ilvl requirement of 57 to battle Titan hard.

Now, speaking as someone who started 2.0 in full DL, and have full DL on all 9 jobs, + all relics, + full level 90 on Paladin and Warrior, I know gear isn't hard to get.

However, for most of my RL friends, including my GF, the second they hit 50, I had them get their relic like 2 hours later by carrying them through titan (in Lan party fashion). This is no longer doable because to get ilvl 57 average requires:

Full AK gear assuming no primal weapon. All buyable gear is lvl 55 (unless you're talking a semi-rich player here, but we're assuming average player can reach here). So full militia is 55, + GC weapon is 55. One ifrit weapon wouldn't push you to 57, in fact you'd still be 55.3. Having a Garuda weapon would still only bring you to 56.4
