3.x MSQ iLvl block

[Pori_Dessu]

I'm on Faerie, too - just send me a /tell and I can get that stuff for you ^_^v

Thanks. I'm farming PvP now, so hopefully I'll be able to get the gear.

At this point just wait until early access...you have just over 24 hours of server uptime between now and then. 230+ gear rewards will almost surely be added (along with XP) to the 3.x MSQ come early access. Not to mention, the first vendors in SB will most likely be selling 240+ white gear - don't waste your time or gil until then.

I would do that, if I didn't have just about 20 quests to do, and I wouldn't have the necessary iLvl for the antitower by then anyway.

You can farm Aetherochemical Research Facility for Lore (150 Lore a pop), to give yourself a decent amount. You can then build up Scripture while you're at it (buy the ring for 375 scripture,, you get 10 scrip per ARF run). As well, get your i235 weapon from 30/30 aetherpool weapon/armor (beat floor 50 for it), in Palace of the Dead. That WILL push you over the i230 threshold, and quite possibly before maintenance too. Then you can enter into Stormblood. Unfortunately you're not on the Chaos datacentre so I cannot help with that by providing quicker queues for you, else I would jump on now and help you. Best of luck!

I'm farming the wolf marks from PvP, getting 1000 per frontline match, so I believe I can do it. Thanks anyway.

I guess it's not fair that you have to "grind" for gear or that's gated behind MSQ's, specially if the new expansion was announced like 6+ months ago, also not fair that you get to run the tripple nerfed content already and the temporary increase of weekly scripture tomes. Making it even quicker to gain ilvl 270 pieces instead of having to wait as we all did prior. Guess next time we should just give out free gear everywhere just for people that are subscribed to their mailing list or something.

I didn't start the thread as a way of complaining, tho I admit I sounded a bit negative, which is comprehensible since I was kinda annoyed by the sudden iLvl block, I started it to get advices on getting the gear. Nor have I said anything about something being unfair. I do find weird, as a business model (not as a player) to gate content that brings new players behind so many hours of older content, but not "unfair". My post that you quoted, is saying that catch up mechanics won't help me (Which is true), and not that they SHOULD give me the gear. But if they're gonna implement those catch up mechanics, it'd be smarter to do so a little bit before the expansion, so people coming for it can access at least the MSQ, jobs, and areas.
Also, I would never have stopped playing this game, if I had the money to keep paying for it back then, now my situation is a lot better, but I had to buy a PS4 and HW, and pay the sub fee. 6 months ago when the expansion was announced I had absolutely no money. Not everyone can afford all of that on a whim just because they announced SB. So sorry if I offended you, or whatever, but your point is completely out of place.
