How much item level we need for the new content?

[Banriikku]

Not everyone runs Alphascape - especially not more than once, and the i380 gear is not trivial to craft.

Hmm so what gear do you/ they use to run current content ? 380 is for the current stuff mandatory (my opinion). So what is the difficulty ? Im curious : why not farm alpha ?

My tome job uses the 390 stuff (just got my last missing piece this week thanks to the raised cap. Now to upgrade everything to 400 and get those melds in...), everyone else uses the 375 stuff from GD with completely new 70s using the 360 gear as a stopgap measure for slots where I haven't had a 375 piece saved up from Greed rolls.
For the content I do (that is, nothing Savage) it's good enough.

How do you define "current content"? As far as I am concerned, all the level 70 duties count as current content, and i380 gear is most certainly not needed for most of them.

I don't do any of the level 70 Savage/Extreme duties, and I don't plan on doing those until they are no longer current content.

As for what gear I use it is a mixture of tomestone gear, (bought) crafted gear, dungeon drops, a piece or two from Alphascape.

Because farming stuff isn't fun, of course.

lv70 content =/= current content. Content that came with/after latest raid tier and ilv increase is considered current content. Or content that's at least somewhat new or relevant to players like EX primals and Ultimates. Delta/Sigma for example are not current content.

As for topic: I did this on best in slot ilv396 DRK with half the bar remaining. I have alt with pretty crap gear so maybe I should do the instance on it and see how it compares.
