Do you think what i-level do I need to just begin MQ in BS ?

[Aramina]

BS is the Black Lodge version of the game.

That was great.

There's an MSQ in Bull****?

Presumably you will be able to buy ilv260 gear with poetics anyway. I wouldn't worry about ilv... at bare minimum the quests will provide you sufficient gear for the first dungeon.

nq 115 is not 115 though..

anyways if you want to prepare for sb get at least 255 in all your slots

If Stormblood is like Heavensward, you will have no need to buy vendor NQ gear (on first job through). The first few MSQs in Stormblood will have 255 HQ rewards, they will be at a true item level of 255. You'll get them before the first dungeon of Stormblood. 230-235 is all you need right now. You don't need to go further to be ready for SB unless you want to go for 270 to overgear the early dungeons.
