When will more Grand Company ranks be added???

When will more Grand Company ranks be added? I've been at max rank, with max seals for a very long time, and nothing worth spending seals on. The highest ilvl gear from GC is very under leveled.

It isn't even worth getting the level 50 GC set as you can earn tomestones of philosophy so fast now , that it makes more sense to spend a couple of days getting the far superior darklight set instead.

There is hardly anything that makes a character's starting nation choice relevant at all now.

Since the current GC gear caps at 50, logically any GC rank raise will come with higher level gear. And since they said new jobs will come with a level cap raise, you should look for new GC ranks when they announce new jobs. Likely all three will happen at the same time.

They can just give higher ilvl gear for 50lv chars...

Unlikely as they've repeatedly said they want you to do dungeons to get higher ilevel gear. They're not going to give it away free with seals.

I stand by my statement. You'll get more ranks when they raise the cap. There are actually more ranks that we don't have access to than we do. You can see all the unavailable ranks if you click on your own rank in the character screen.

Not necessarily the current level of the Junior Officer items is 50, that is true. But the lower ranks have gear for all types of classes, DoW, DoM, DPS, Tank, exc. The Junior Officer rank only has very generic gear, more vanity then anything really. I could see gear added, at level 50 also, but more specialized. It is possible I think as we also have two ranks to go before breaking the JR officer set, namely 1st Lieutenant and Captain.

Who knows, maybe that Chocobo Respec everyone wants will be a Captain Rank item.

They actually said the opposite. New jobs/classes will be released in patches, separate from the level cap raise that will come in expansions.

I'll see if I can dig up the quote.

Yoshi: First of all, we are planning a new race for an expansion pack. For the classes and jobs, we will introduce them through patches because all of the Legacy players have level 50 jobs anyway. When we introduce new classes and jobs we will probably increase the level cap at the same time.

Ergo: new classes = level cap raise which would likely also bring new GC ranks.

This is just guess work on my part based on what Yoshi's said, by I stand by it.

More recently it was said level cap will come with expansion pack I believe.

if we are lucky they will raise it with this 2.2 patch (not saying they will) just saying with the new dungeons and new ilvls and i90 being normal then it would be pretty smart to up the ranks for better gc gear.

it is entirely possible, we only know of half of the content being added in 2.2, and we will hear about the rest on the 21st.
