Ilvl90 Gear?

[Kerwin]

What about common i115 gear from vendors in Ishgard? Can you use that to boost your ilevel? Someone bring it back to you or purchase over market?

I am curious about that as well, what are the limitations for someone not in HW yet. Can I buy Ishgard gear from the Market Boards?

I started story just b4 rahmu and iv actually been collecting 110 gear for two jobs. My bard for most part has a full set now. When i started i was i90 even now im i104 with a tank set of 110 also. Hope that helped, story is easiest way to get gear.

That's crafted gear so as long as you have the expack and meet the level requirement there's nothing to stop you from using the I115 gear.

I started playing again on Friday after over half a year and was half-way through 2.4. I can confirm that the story missions reward i110 gear. I didn't receive a full set, but I'm guessing earlier quests that I had already completed handed out the other pieces.

Oh that sounds much better. At least it gets rid of all the grinding gaps for tomes to be able to do the story... assuming they designed it to keep up with requirements.

I was thinking about that too. Might get a guildy to relay them to me if they can. Get the feeling market prices will be overpriced knowing its an easier way to meet the requirement.

The level 50 job quest (at least for white mage) now rewards you your ilvl 50 robe, and also your ilvl 90 robe. Not sure why it rewards both, probably because the ilvl 50 one is a more or less unique item that they didn't want to remove. I assume this changed with patch 3.0. I didn't complete this quest until post-3.0, and I haven't done any of the other level 50 job quests but I assume they changed their rewards as well.

You can craft augmentation for the original job gear, which can be used to get a dyeable version for glamours.
