Gear doesn't have a huge impact in frontlines as long as you're using i80+. In about 15-20 matches of frontlines you can get enough wolf marks for a full set of i70 pvp gear, which translates to i80 after you add in the +10 morale that comes with it.

Some people may get upset as you're playing with lower gear while you gear up though, so that's something to consider. Helps if you go in with a full group as they won't care then (that's how i got my cousin geared up in a few hours recently).

I'm hoping Roulette will assist me with that, but if I have to stick to Sub-50 PVPs in Wolf's Den to help get the currency I need to grab the i70 PvP Set, which was my first goal. Weapon Wise, getting a base Relic will be easy enough and my FC will more than be willing to help that far.


They'll likely use my character as a Tome pinata, which may help as well. Just charting my course for all of this. It's my namesake, Hyrist, that's going to be PvP oriented (as a Paladin).

You really don't need to do sub-50 PVP, it will take you an astronomical amount longer to gain wolves mark from lvl 30/40 wolves den + Queue time. There is also great gear in the level 80 dungeons, espeially if you are DRG, the chest has the most Crit. dedicating a Character may not e the wisest cause sometimes PVE gear is BIS

I've no problems unlocking dungeons that will likely house the ilvl80 gear pieces I'll want. But I'll be on Paladin, not Dragoon. It may not seem the wisest course in the short run, but in the long run I'll be far happier having the PvP and PvE focuses on separate characters.

At this point it seems my charted course is to Get Relic/Unlock Dungeons, Push PvP to get an ilvl70 PVP set use the iLvl70 set to go into ilvl70 dungeons (dropping ilvl 80 gear) Gear up based on what is available there and what's available through PvP. Ultimate goal however is the high-end PvP sets, cause reasons.
