I finally did the new Hildibrand quests last night. Laughed so hard. I also suggest chipping away at these quests OP. It's worth it.

thanks to 2.5, he now needs i80 just to get high roulette

close that huge gap new player
totally great design

I have heard a lot of people say things like this. With that said just over two weeks ago I rolled a new alt. (completely new) GLA no cross class, no mounts nothing. Inside two weeks ilvl 80 filled the gaps by doing main story and other various quest and such. Never touch a fate until ATMA, yes already have ATMA inside two weeks. Already ilvl 80 gear, with 2 pieces of ilvl 100 gear all inside two weeks. Weaver already inside the last leg to 50 on top of that. That was playing a few hours a night (roughly 4 hours) 10 hours on the weekend (Sunday only) Before you even say oh your a tank that doesn't count. ALL groups were Party Finder or FC. ALL relic portions were PF, FC.

The only issue I have with the new "gap" in gear is the ilv90 requirement for the newest dungeons. None of them need ilv90. You could probably go in at ilv70 without running into a single issue. Because there's so many gates to stop speed running your tank is basically being hit by a wet noodle the whole time. It gives healers more time to DPS at the risk of falling asleep out of complete boredom. The bosses don't hit hard. The only thing that might hit hard is the AoE/whatever damage if you don't do the mechanics correctly.

If they want to stop speedrunning and up the required ilv they should actually make that ilv necessary IMO.

For weapon, you can do the relict quest to get easy a ilv 90 weapon (around 3-4 days until Zenith)
For gear, you can do the first High Level dungeons to get gear that is better than the AF gear and to earn the first Soldiery tomes. Or buy crafted ilevel 70 gear in the Market Board, if it is not too expensive for you.

For Relict you have to finish the last job quest and the Story quest where you defeat Ultima Weapon in Castrum Meridian.
The starting quest for the Relict is this: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...t/b72db0c1975/

Also Low Level roulette will give you 100 Soldiery each day, Story roulette (both Castrum Meridian) 120 Soldiery each day + 20 Soldiery each run and the first 2 High Level dungeons 20 Soldiery each run. That would be 260 Soldiery each day if you do only Castrum Meridian and High Level dungeon once each day. That would be already 1 new ilevel 100 Soldiery equip every 2-3 days.

Find a list of the dungeons and trials and go through each one as you would normally moving up through the content. You'll get a lot of gear along the way and you'll be getting tons of soldiery that will easily get you to 100 before you know it. A lot of people are talking about the gap being too great but it's honestly very easy to gear up with soldiery gear at the moment. It quickly bridges you to a midgame ilvl,

Just as a reminder, you can still do high level dungeons without using the roulette. They drop gear and give tomestones, too.

That's what we did before the roulettes were a thing.

But the thing is the ppl u get qeued with might be from the high roulette matching them up with you.
Because the point of roulette is to slot ppl in to spots needed to run that content. Thats why tanks and healers get fast qeues cuz the majority of the player base r dps.
So whether u like it or not u can ak normal and have everyone i30+ than u.

Lots of stuff hidden behind main story so just do that. You'll breeze thru it all due to ppl being very over geared and knowing the fight since its releases. Only thing tht will be tough is how i wanna approach the "carry" cuz it's kind of inevitable for new players to get forcefully carried thru content.

Also if you are a fresh 50 tank then you better have decent gear or else they will suplex u for losing hate and having non top tier gear like them.
Getting dunked like that on the 1st day on the job is pretty heart breaking lol.

Think my problem is I am an Alt a holic. I play my only lvl 50 (nin) for a while before wanting to start upping my Summoner or Paladin classes heh.

[Skiri]

Congrats on 50! I'm almost there myself. I'm really looking forward to all the content. I've spent a lot of time getting to my level but my main story is as far as I can get it until I hit 50. lol

As a Tank just remember this: You are the one with the less queue time.

Say to the party at the beginning, that you are new at level 50 and that the DPS should limit thereself a bit if they see in their enemy list that their target get a orange dot. And if they don't like it, they can kick you (where you have a new party in less than 1 minute) and wait 5-20 minutes until another tank show up or left the party (where they get a 30 minute penalty)
