FCoB ilvl Requirement too high?

[Viridiana]

All I had was the i130 weapon and a few pieces of i130 jewelery. I was just shy of the minimum hp. Like 1 left side item was enough to push me over that threshold, but I survived stuff with 10-50 hp left over so frequently.

That's the problem with the ilvl system. You had "ilvl 122" DPS stats, but someone with an average ilvl of ~80 could have more HP than you did. And that's notwithstanding the 10% HP boost they also implemented, which by itself would have seen you survive below i123.

You can change gear inside, not sure why this is a problem for you.

It's not a problem; that's why I said "it's funny". It's easily circumvented; just an odd thing considering how SE normally lowballs ilvl requirements.

Funnily enough, my main just makes the t13 requirement...perfect 123. I see why it's 123 too (fully melded right side tanks with 130 left are 123), but...idk, kinda wish the reqs were higher. People in the DF duck and there's little reason to be going in in <120 at this point.

I find it interesting that they picked i123 for T13, too. Not that I mind; it saves me swapping accessories. xD

It is funny though that a tank 130 left side and hybrid accessories falls short for t13. Hits 122 average, which really should have been considered enough. Hell, anyone with all 130 left side should be fine with 110 accessories even nonmelded, but then that's the ilvl system for ya.

I expect that SE assumes that you have a i135 weapon, be it Zeta or Dreadwyrm.

Final Coil of Bahamut – Turn 1 Average item level 110
Final Coil of Bahamut – Turn 2 Average item level 115
Final Coil of Bahamut – Turn 3 Average item level 120
Final Coil of Bahamut – Turn 4 Average item level 123

They should add accuracy requirements to DF coil too. As will never forget turn 1 when BCoB went to DF, a tank joined in full PvP gear to hit ilvl requirements and proceeded to get one shotted.

At this point, there are plenty of "Poetic Heroes" or "Hunting Lords" as people name them with that ilvl who never tried to do Coil, yet. Heck, I was doing T7 with a friend and got a full ilvl 130 WHM (Poetics) doing that turn for the first time! So, expect the unexpected. I'll recommend you to queue up for these just for the lols. By the time being, for serious farm/progression, we still have our statics/FC and PF, which is pretty decent so far.

Sorry if I wasn't clearer, I main war, just missing bis due to some melds hating me. Also have a 130 Bis Drg, and 126 smn/blm/mnk (mostly dw geared for the three). Not sure how many t13 kills I have now, but git the 10 kills achievement before 2.55.

I don't think really anyone ready for FCoB should be <120 at this point with WoD giving everything. Too many people out there in 130 with no dw.

If your issue is that the itemization of the final raid in the game is difficult to reach on your 5th or 6th class, then I'm sorry but you might just have to accept that you're an outlier. I think the ilvl is fine for general purpose, and since the point of df is general purpose I've got no issues.

[Shiki_Lockhart]

I am surprised to not see the image of saying that fcoil ilvl requirement is far too high already xD

[SirTaint]

All of FCoB can be done at i110 esp with the echo.

But that isn't the point. FCoB with a static is much easier then FCoB with randoms even experienced randoms. Add in DF option and the higher ilvl is needed to keep the wasted time to a minimum.

Any player that is farming FCoB can meet the ilvl check. Just shuffle in random i130 accessories to enter then swap back to your normal gear.

I think they're okay, it gives me something to aspire to.
