Looking to clarify something

Hello, new player here and im trying to find out if this is true.

Someone told me i could quest for all of my gear in ffxiv. My ls isnt very helpful and no one will answer me on this so i came to as you guys. Is this true? and if so how do i go about doing this?

Im stilling running around with lv 8 gear at 15 lol

some leves and sidequest will reward gear. but the best way is leveling DoL and DoH, it might take time,but it will benefit you in the future. if your main class is cnj, you can try to level weaver (for robe,hat,pants) , leatherworker (gloves,boots) and crp/gsm (weapon/accessories). you can level botanist and miner to support that, for weaver usually u need to farm sheep.

Yar, the gear which is questable is job-specific equipment. Cnj gets the stone to turn into whm, and there is an armor set for whm that is questable and only wearable on whm. That equipment, however, can't be worn til 45+. Until then you'll have to buy or make whatever gear you need, or find someone who'll make it for you or so on aside from the sparse gear drops from leves.

There are also items you can get from mid-level dungeons like Totorak (instanced dungeon in the Black Shroud) and Shposhae (non-instanced dungeon in La Noscea).

Well... there's a pretty long-running debate over what gear is even necessary below ~40, since levels are pretty fast in parties. Without materia, lower-leveled gear (other than the weapon) often doesn't even provide enough of a bonus to make it "necessary" considering that it'll probably only last you ~3 parties. Don't get me wrong, it definitely helps, but you have to consider the cost (in time or money) and whether it's worth it. People won't normally kick someone out of an exp party for low gear, within reason. Level 40 with Level 8 gear would be pretty bad, but Level 15 with Lv.8 gear shouldn't bother anyone. If you're level 35 and wearing Lv.25 pants, but there's no gear between 25-35 that provides more of the stats you need, just stick with what you have. I wouldn't upgrade for defense alone. And if it's going to cost you more than you think it's worth for +1 or +2 MND, you can probably skip it, as well. Tanks are the exception; if you plan on getting hit, your gear definitely does matter.

There are a lot of drops from open-world NMs that have green names, and are definitely worth getting for the way up. For Conjurer, I would ask your LS to help you get:

• [item=5030304]Kple Kple[/item], a Lv.30 staff from Alux (Lv.42).
• [item=8032301]Loyalist's Bliaud[/item], a Lv.30 body from Downy Dunstan (Lv.42)
• [item=8010130]Divining Hat[/item], a Lv.30 hat from Bardi (Lv.42)
• [item=5030112]Bloodcry[/item], a Lv.35 staff from Spitfire (Lv.47)

I'd also say accessories are useful. You should try for

• Pearl Choker (Lv.38)
• Mind Rings (Lv.29,39,49)

Other than that I wouldn't worry yourself trying to fill in other slots; just buy what you can afford and keep your weapon up to date. There's a plethora of nice items from Toto-rak (Lv.25 dungeon) and Shposhae (Lv.15 dungeon) but in the time it took you to get them, you would probably already be Lv.35.

I'm sure I forgot something, and don't take everything I say as perfect. ^^;

Thanks guys for the info on this, i figured doing DoL and DoH were the way to go with getting gear. I actually am planning to do some of that before i get my first 50 DoW.

Plus it will give me time to work on what i want to level, its between mrd and cnj atm. Im doing armorsmithing hoping that works out. Not sure if i should do blacksmith instead for money.

I'm hoping they meant it's the way to go to make the GIL to buy the gear. Don't level up a craft to make them yourself, that'd be stupid.

You don;t need to level DOL or DOH all of your gear can be easily obtained by regular old town quests and guildleves combined with "company issued" stuff from your grand company of choice. There is NO reason to buy gear, for a job under level 40.

See this is what i heard in my ls, but im not really sure where to even start looking for these quests. They seem to be spread out everywhere with no rhyme or reason, no central hub as you will. And there really isnt any other efficient way to my knowledge of finding out which quest gives what unless i go town by town and quest by quest until i find a set i want.

Use the internets bro lol.....

there are a couple of wiki's that can tell you every quest and all it's rewards ^^

Barring that just do your leves for the day...then take a swing through town and look for big """"!"""" above someones head. They will automatically show up when you are the appropriate level. And the rewards are perfect for your class and level.
