Need tanking equipment advice...

[TallonOverworld]

poetic tomestone (current weekly capped one) gear and the new crystal tower (world of darkness) are easily obtained and theres a weekly quest for all 3 crystal towers that gives the option to upgrade one of either the right or left side poetic pieces from 120 to 130.

i'm new in ff as well... so there is another way to upgrade to augmented ironworks besides coil? can you please link the quest? Thanks in advance

It's a weekly repeatable quest that lets you get one carbontwine or carboncoat and one allagan catalyst. You'll need to do all of the Crystal Tower quests starting with the one for Labyrinth of the Ancients.

You can also get carbontwine and carboncoat with allied seals from hunts.

Focus the 3 parts of Crystal Tower for left side gear (head, chest, legs, waist, feet), ST will be a good starting point and eventually WoD for a once-per-week drop (soon will be farmable). In ST also pick up a Unidentified Allagan Tome to get your ilvl 100 (upgrades to 110) weapon to get you moving. Relic is good, but time consuming, I'd have that going on in the background, doing it when I don't want to be doing other things. It'll be a while before it compares to your UAT weapon. Soon the ironworks weapon will also be available to people outside Final Coil.



Use Soldiery and Poetics on your accessories. This is because. Crystal Towerr doesn't have accessories and accessories cost fewer tomes, gearing up both sides efficiently. This won't be the ideal stats but that's less valuable to you than catching up will be. After that to improve your stats; Unless you KNOW you can be in Final Coil soon (taking a carry), I'd aim for T9s Accuracy Cap (meaning you want about 512 accuracy). And don't go above that, it's wasted stats. Parry is the only secondary tank stat, some people argue that it's not viable, I think they're very wrong but decide for yourself. After that favour DET > Crit > Skill speed when picking upgrades via Poetics and maybe WoD.

Find an active hunt ls where you can get allied seals and sol tomes. I went from ilvl 70 to ilvl 100 in full weathered gear in just 2 days.

From patch 2.55 notes:

The World of Darkness has been adjusted as follows.
The weekly limitation on items from treasure coffers in the World of Darkness has been abolished.

Basically means: Roll 'Need' in everything - when using the class; Roll 'Greed' in everything - when not using the class.

Free i120 gear in a day... Tho it'll be a pain the arse to run WoD like 10 times lol
