Returning player seeking advice

[Lava]

Hello,

After experiencing PC problems I had to take a break from the game for a short time. Before that, my FC helped me finish the Relic chain and obtain my bow. Now I'm back I'm wondering what's the "best" route to go down to progress further with my Bard. I know I need to earn the Myth tombstones in order to upgrade my weapon to a +1. Where is a good place to get these? I've also unlocked a dungeon called the Crystal Tower. Is that a good place to earn gear/stones? What are the groups like through the Duty Finder? My item level is currently level 61.

Before my break I also remember starting the Beast Tribe quests - are these now worth the time carrying on with?

Any advice would be great!

Thank you

1. Run CT until you are in full i80 gear. By the time you are done, you will have enough myth for +1 relic and maybe some Myth i90 pieces.

2. Unlock braflox HM and run it for again for more myth/Sol. Fill your gear slots with i100 gear that you haven't upgraded from your CT gear/ myth gear.

3. Once you are in a mix of i90-100 gear start atma farming for a i100 upgraded relic or start downing Ex primals for the items they drop so you can get a iLv 90 bow.

Hope this helps

CT is useless skip step and dive head first into step 2.

I suggest getting myth for the I90 gear. There are LOTS of coil party finders that can net you easy I90 gear as well. There are guides everywhere if you need them. I see people going in there with half AF gear and do fine. You can upgrade your bow in Leviathan extreme. The fight takes a bit to get use to and can be hard at first.

Doing both is a better solution. There is a weekly cap of 450 on soldiery, so basically 1 piece a week, except body and legs which are 2 weeks each. CT gives a decent bit of mythology, along with pretty good gear. I wouldn't go for 1 full set of any of these, but a mix of soldiery, CT gear, mythology gear, and Allagan. Adjust according to your job (some pieces are better than others). Also, as you do Brayflox and other Elite Duty Roulette runs, lot on the Darklight gear that drops if you don't already have. This should get you up to speed fairly quickly.

If iLv 80 is skipped I can see a lot of groups complaining in hard modes that the dps is to low since he is propbaly still in DL gear with a non +1 relic.

CT is a trollfest if you can deal with that and get good groups go for it.

They can complain all they want but bray flox ilevel requirement is 55 and drops 2 different sets of ilevel 70 gear.

TC to answer your other question this community can be very unforgiving espically when conent such as Brayflox is all about speed runs. You will probably want to do the runs with your FC at first until you know the in's and outs. The same goes for CT
