Gear Progression, Do you speak it?

[Nyvara]

I'm confused about gear progression, creation, mendacity, lost allagan, byakko, eureka. I'm sure there are more but there are so many I have no idea what I should work on!

can someone give me a simple progression to follow if I wish to do savage content?

If you're working on Eureka gear (it looks like you have some unupgraded Eureka pieces), that'll get you a 355 weapon and 350 left side gear (minus belt), and as long as your gear is at least 300 then whatever you have on doesn't really matter in Eureka. From there you can run sigmascape normal and get pieces for other 350 gear (if you're getting Eureka gear then you'll only need to get a belt and accessories which would be a chain and bolts from sigmascape normal). I believe chain drops from Phantom Train and bolts drop from Phantom Train and Chadarnook but idk I stopped running normal after the 2nd week it was out. And as for tomestones, the only one you should worry about is mendacity. That will get you 360 gear. If you're impatient then I would recommend getting some creation tomes. Creation will only get you 330 gear but you can use that to replace the 310 pieces you currently have if you're not planning on grinding out Eureka. Byakko also gives a 355 weapon, so do that as well if you're not planning on grinding Eureka. There's also 350 crafted gear you could buy but it's not worth it unless it's hq which can be expensive for some people. I guess there's many different options you can do but it just all comes down to what you're willing to put in to get it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. That helps quite a bit!

The simplest way to look at it is... work your way up the tomestone gear, with the tomestones on the weekly limit giving you the best stuff.

Everything else are alternatives to help you gear up a little faster, or just a different way. Primals give you an easier way to get a current weapon, for example. There's some nuances, such as crafted gear allowing more melds, but this core principle still holds up pretty well.

Specifically for Savage: Get as much Mendacity gear as you can, when you can. Fill in with Sigmascape Normal gear. Then fill in with Creation gear. Get a weapon from Byakko Extreme. As long as you do this and are at least i340, you are ready for Savage.

Eureka does provide an alternative path, but it's left side only, and caps at i350. This makes it competitive with Sigmascape Normal gear (and it does have those nice meld slots), but Mendacity gear is i370 upgraded. So Eureka gear gives a path to the ilvl you need to start savage (your call on if it's worth the time investment), but isn't be all end all gear.
