What to do at level 50?

[Nevaldus]

So i am 47 now, about 20k exp off 48, and heading straight to 50 before i continue my Main questline, i've been looking on the internet for end-game guides and stuff and a lot say different things, what i need to know is, once i ding level 50, where do i get my first weapon? is it Grand company or Ampador keep or something else?

Also accessories, with me getting them purely from quests and instances, some of them are really...outdated, for example one of my rings is level 38 (ouchie) where do i get my first level 50 rings/necklace/earrings and also the belt.

I know i get my last um...blue gear piece (forgot the name, antique gear or something) from my level 50 class quest, is this gear the norm to wear at 50 first?


Any replies and/or advice is greatly appreciated!

lemme add to that,
do your atma quest once you got your zenith
do your animus once you have your atma
do your novus once you have your animus
join the hunt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31TogQQiotU
Do ramuh
do Syrcus Tower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92kfdltmqoA
Do frontlines
Do 2.3 stuff (look up patch notes)
too many to list to be honest.

Perfect! Thank you very much (nice .GIF by the way)

As fresh level 50:

- Get yourself a nice FC / LS if you don't have one yet!
- Finish your job quests.
- Finish the main scenario quest for 2.0 (ends with Praetorium).
- Get started on your relic weapon (quest).
- Unlock Ifrit (Hard). You'll get to do all the hard mode primals during relic quest.
- Unlock all the level 50 dungeons and start completing them in difficulty order:
1) Amdapor Keep (also required for relic quest), Wanderer's Palace
2) Pharos Sirius, Haukke Manor (Hard), Copperbell Mines (Hard)
3) Lost City of Amdapor, Brayflox Longstop (Hard), Halatali (Hard)
4) Hullbreaker Isle, Stone Vigil (Hard), Tamtara Deepcroft (Hard)
- Unlock Crystal Tower, run it and unlock Syrcus tower.
- Continue the main scenario quest from 2.1 content onwards.

You should first aim for item level 90 gear set. Your relic weapon will be i70 first, but it can be easily upgraded to i90 (and after that not-so-easily all the way up to i110). You can buy your relic gear (item level 90) with tomestones of mythology you get from completing duties and running roulettes. Mythology tomes don't have a weekly cap so you can farm them as much as you want to. The relic set for DRG is the Wyrm's set. The i90 mythology gear is sold by Auriana in Revenant's Toll. You can also farm 450 soldiery tomes every week, and spend them to buy weathered Astrum pieces. These are i100 but can be upgraded to unweathered i110 with items you get from Syrcus Tower, Coil 2 and the hunts. Level 50 dungeons drop up to i80 gear, Crystal Tower drops i80 gear and Syrcus Tower drops i100 gear. After finishing your relic quest you get access to the first Coil, which drops i90 gear and must be completed (the last turn at least) to get access to the second Coil.

There's also other content such as Hildibrand quests, Ultima fight and extreme primals I didn't include in this post. In short: as fresh level 50, finish your story and job quests, get started on your relic weapon, do level 50 content for mythology / soldiery tomes and gear.

Thank you very much!

At the moment? Hunts, hunts, and more hunts.

Yeah but, from what i have seen and heard, that is chaos at the moment.

I'll offer my own rundown of everything there is to do when you hit 50

Long Story Short, there is a lot.

Do yourself a favor and pick up the level 50 Grand Company Lieutenant weapon unless you already have a weapon with an item level higher than 55 (item level is super important from this point on). It should last you until you get your relic finished or a primal weapon and you don't have to deal with random drops in Wanderer's Palace or Amdapor keep hoping for it to drop. Artifact (AF) gear is fine but you should work on updating it through dungeon runs and saving up Allagan tomestones as people have been suggesting.

Concerning accessories: Upgrade them immediately as you will need to have minimum item level for specific content and having really outdated stuff may become an issue. There are no Artifact accessories so my recommendation is to go to the market boards and splurge on the level 48-49 accessories (Rubellite) and the item level 55 militia or Imperial Operative accessories that have Strength on them. If possible you should get the high quality versions as not only will they have better stats, they will spiritbond faster and when you replace them you may be able to get materia to sell or use for your relic quest.

The rest of your days will be performing repeatable instances solely to upgrade gear. That's pretty much it. The lacking story is complete. Now its all about getting those shinies.
