High Level dungeon help

[Luvbunny]

What do you do if you are "freshie" 50s?? Rather simple, but yeah a bit more grind now since they remove "instant level 90 gears" from Hunt rewards.

- Buy level 55 gears from your grand company, buy lvl 55 accessories for PvP (super cheap), stack on vitality for now (not dead is paramount).
- If you have some extra gills, you should be able to buy at least a couple lvl 70 gears (and weapon).
- Open the 2 most accessible dungeons (adampor and wanderer palace), mainly to practice your rotation. Then slowly try to open the rest of the dungeons on the hard mode list.
- Farm primal hard mode, depending on your class, you could easily kill Ifrit + Garuda + Moogle over and over and get the level 60-75 weapons.
- Yes, sadly you will have to spend several days farming duty roulette for main mission + lower level + daily beast men quest (200 seals total I think).
- The next easy dungeons to farm would be Halatali hard, Hauke Manor, and probably depending on your class, Braylflox Hard.
- Make relic weapon ASAP. Clearing the primal hard mode will also unlocking First Coil access and Crystal Tower quests
- You can also try to farm First Coil to gear with level 90 accessories (and upgrade later, in case you save your tomes to buy armor first).
- Do clear Labyrinth of the Ancients (may need to do 5-8 times), and then do Syrcus Tower over and over to gear to 100.
- Finally, the easiest dungeons from 2.3 would be Hullbreaker Isle, Stone Vigil, and lastly Tamtara.
- Do your main story progression, as far as you can, and open Snowcloak.

All these should take you probably around one week after you hit level 50 as freshie, assuming you play around 3-4 hours a day (which translate to 3-6 dungeons depending on your class). Between first time bonus and duty roulette, it is fairly easy to get 500 soldiery on your first few days. So you can either get all accessories, or focus on gears. I suggest to do the accessories first since Crystal Tower is a good easy fix for disposable gears for level 80-100. If you want to farm heavily and can snag a couple of free company members to help (the first time bonus usually good incentive), you could probably get decent gears level 100 in about three days.

<lot of useful hints>

I'd like to add, you also can play Carteneau PvP and buy the i90 gear there, weapon included. PvP Gear have one stat less the PvE, but we all know anything behind the main stat is almost useless, lef out the BiS that you farm much later anyway.

PvP Gear have one stat less the PvE

Not true anymore. They have 4 stats and a 5th "morale" stat now.
