Minimum iLvl - Leveling Dungeons

[Dzian]

I agree with adding an I level requirement on levelling dungeons. But not vendor level. You level so quick it's generally not worth buying vendor stock. And you level so quick it's also not worth trying to complete sets.

If you enter bardamas mettle for example in your 270 shire gear it's still a piece of cake. And your guaranteed 1 piece of gear at the end. Yet you'd hit 67 and unlock doma so fast you've probably only got 1or 2 drops from bardamas. Unless you were grinding it specifically for exp.

Levelling is to fast though. If I stayed in bardamas mettle grinding gear so I could enter doma castle at a decent i level id be 70 before I got the full set from bardamas.

The same issue with vendor gear. There's not really much point investing in full sets if 66 gear when you level so fast and most of your daily roulette are going to level 60 or under content.

Makes purchasing that gear a waste of money it might be used once before you you level it.

In heavensward I would typically equip 50 jobs with full augmented ironworks and wear that all that way to 60. If I got a better drop in a dungeon id equip it. But other than that wasn't worth bothering to get better gear till you hit 60..

In stormblood I'm much the same. I'll equip a 60 job in 270 shire and just burn roulette to 70. If I get an upgrade from a dungeon I'll equip it. If not I'll just keep shire in that slot till I do my 70 job quest... You level so fast it's really not worth stopping to gear up. Just equip what you get along the way..

Think my Saladin dinged 70 in the body and feet from doma castle. The legs from bardamas mettle. The belt and helmet I got from new and most of my right side was still augmented shire
