Weighting ilevel calculations

[StouterTaru]

13 only if equipping a shield otherwise it's 1 Wep, 5 Main Armor, 1 Belt, and 5 accessories for 12. For tin can or robes you divide by 11. They do not get counted twice.

Equip a 2-handed weapon (level 13 or higher) and nothing else. Use your method to figure out what it should call your ilvl, then use mine. You are wrong.

When do you even see this? By the time you have a wall of i90 accessories, darklight gear is incredibly easy to get for alt jobs.

It's not really that you can get more, just that you have gotten more. If you were, say, to run 2-3 Crystal Tower runs a week for some item (we'll say for your main job as to not contaminate this example), that's 400-600 Tomes of Philosophy for 100-150 Tomes of Mythology. Even assuming you get the rest of your tomes for the week in the most efficient way for Mythology, that's 5-6 Roulette to cap Mythology that week, or another 500-600 Philosophy.

So we'll say you make between 1000-1100 Tomes of Philosophy for each weekly unit (450) of Tomes of Mythology. It takes 4.2 weeks to get enough Tomes of Mythology to get full right side i90; or 4,200-4,660 Tomes of Philosophy. Left side Darklight costs 3,510 Philosophy. This means you have anywhere between 690 and 1150 tomes burning a hole in your pocket, and that's assuming you only bought accessories with Mythology and spent all of your philosophy on your left side on your main job (which we know isn't happening, because we already said that you're getting CT gear for that job as well).

Every job you level compounds that, by the time you've leveled 2 jobs to 50, I'd make an educated guess that you're sitting on a 3,000-5,000 Tome surplus. Of course, there are extenuating circumstances. If you are farming Extreme primals or early turn Coil, you'll get accessories faster, but chances are you aren't going to be doing either of those until you are done with at least your Darklight, which brings us back to the original numbers.
