Alexander Armor Going Into Stormblood

[Ehnden_Liefre]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to get peoples thoughts on how long you think Alexandrian armor will be effective going into Stormblood? Will the full 270 with weapon set take me to level cap or do you guys think maybe around 65ish there will be a need for new armor?

Just curious since I finally completed all Savages and just need 2 Alexandrian pieces.

HW upgraded Poetic/Dreadwyrm armor was good till about the 56-57 range, at which point you wanted to start upgrading. If SB is similar in this regard you SHOULD be able to safely make it to 69 without too much worry and from there really try and get as much dungeon upgrades as you can to make the lvl 70 gear grind easier on yourself.

Awesome thanks, good to know someone else has the same thought.

I saw in a video someone took from media tour the level 64 dungeon drop 270 gear.

It's actually the level 63 dungeon, but the level sync caps you at 64. We should expect level 64 crafteds to be higher than 270, but should have no problems using 270 gear to 66-67. If I recall also, the free gearbox you get for finishing MSQ is full of i290 stuff.
