How many jobs can you decently gear up?

[True-to-Caesar]

So basically I mainly play tank, and I have been playing Samurai only as DPS.

Been starting to enjoy MCH long before 6.3 and I was wondering if I could keep both DPS with decent gear since I want to keep playing them as DPS.

I read that you can only have one job with the best gear and the rest will have to wait a long time to get to that level. So I was wondering if there was something I did wrong because outside of the latest tomestones and raids, I don’t see what are my other options.

"best" gear isn't "decent".

Best gear is best.

Decently geared jobs are infinite if you're willing to grind tomestones and/or run raids. You can do any content in currently uncapped accessibility gear.

You do not need BIS to do endgame content.

Depending on your money supply and playtime, "decent" gear (which IMO would be pre-Savage BiS or close to it), isn't too hard to get. You should also include crafted items buyable off the MB/guildmates as options. There's also Euphrosyne which can fill a spot with a nice item (I wish the Healer chest piece existed for me lol). Can run T5E for weapon, which IIRC is better in ILevel to the Relic?

I don't know, what you mean with "decent". I made easily job gears over 610 for all jobs. Since there is no restriction (besides the weapon) for Abyssos anymore, you can easily farm 610 gear here. You can also go into the new dungeon and farm 605 gear here.

For armor, you can buy 610 ilvl crafted gear from the marketplace, and while not ideal in high end content, is still decent enough.
You can buy dharmic rain (from Radz-at-han) to upgrade the 610 ilvl crafted gear to 620. You need 1000 tomestones of astronomy (10 dharmic rains) to upgrade all your crafted accessories to ilvl 620, and another 1900 tomestones of astronomy (19 dharmic rains) to upgrade all your armor to ilvl 620.

For weapons, you can buy a 615 ilvl relic weapon that costs 1,500 tomestones of astronomy, but you need to complete all Manderville quests to unlock the relic quest.
A crafted ilvl 610 weapon can be upgraded to ilvl 620 with 7 dharmic rains, so 700 tomestones of astronomy.
You can also clear Abyssos: The Eighth Circle raid once a week for 4 times and get a ilvl 620 weapon from collecting Unsung Blades of Abyssos from those clears and 500 tomestones of causality (450 weekly cap).

If you're completely strapped for cash, you can just grind the current Abyssos raids for free ilvl 610 gear since it's uncapped, and do Euphrosyne alliance raid for one ilvl 610 gear piece a week.

So ilvl 620 is completely doable within 1-2 months depending on how much you're willing to grind, with ilvl 620 is great for any current content, sans current ultimate.

While you're grinding (roulettes and such) you'll also get causality tomestones that you can exchange for ilvl 620 gear, that can be upgraded to ilvl 630 gear by exchanging an Aglaia coin and a Euphrosyne coin (a weekly drop from those raids) for a moonshine twine/brine (again, in Radz-at-han). So you can get low 620+ pretty easily as well.

With crafted gear being 'decent' your only limit is gil. Excluding that, if you need at least some tome/raid gear, I'd say 2-3 jobs at any given time. 2 for serious content, 3 if they happen to include Ninja and Phys Ranged who share accessories.

By decent, I was thinking of gear that would allow the use of a job in savage raids.

I’ve been super casual due to work and real life stuff I have to solve first, but I’m planning on doing savage at some point. I was curious if you could only tunnel vision one job or have at least 1 main and 2 alts being able to do the same content.

I haven’t paid much attention to the ilvl required, so apologies if the question was blurry in the details in regards to what «decent» meant to me.

[MagiusNecros]

Just one. End thread. You would have to spend a month or two acquiring weekly gear for other classes. You can only ideally gear up one class at any given time unless a class uses the same stats and can be shared between classes.

Not true, “decent” does not mean BiS and you can get decent crafted gear for pretty much every job. That gear can also be augmented to 620 (not needed for “ decent”) for those who wish to and/or have enough coins.

Savage always started with crafted plus a tome accessory and people were clearing. Now they've been holding savage off for a week, so people can get something slightly better.

We're now in the second half of the savage tier's cycle and the crafted gear can catch up to savage drops, so you would be off to a decent start if you had the resources to jump into upgraded crafted (620).
