    Some dated gear's appearance no longer exists. That's really the only reason I kept mine around. However before 2.0 some dated DoH tools were actually useful while leveling. I haven't checked to see if the stats have gone away. Blacksmith for example -- I kept a full set of dated and regular tools for when I level. In 1.0 the dated were sometimes superior. We'll see in 2.0 but they probably nerfed everything.

    Look at the launcher screen. It has been updated. It answers your question. Good day to you.

    As soon as it got the "dated" prefix, it became garbage. The only thing that stuff was useful for was to turn into materia.

    they always sucked. but yes you can spirit bond dated items still. They are convertable, non meldable, non tradeable.

    Your knowledge has no doubt improved by now but I will add this for those who have come lately to the game.

    As just one example among several, I have a level 15 1.0 "dated" shield that is one of few mages can use. It is far and away better than anything available at level 40 and beyond in ARR, beating the stats of even the dungeon drops, so BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU THROW AWAY!

    Yes, some, even most dated material may be considered junk, and with limited storage one has to pick and choose what will be kept, but some dated gear is nice just to keep to wear around town, especially if you're one of those RP-ers so popular on my server, Balmung, in which case I have a wardrobe to DIE for...and most of it fits all jobs too ^^.

    SOME rare gems are more useful than anything currently available in the game. So those of us who kept some of our 1.0 "junk" are getting the last laugh on this one.

    Funny, as much as ageism exists in this game, a little maturity really is actually quite an advantage as it counsels patience and careful consideration over hasty and broadly sweeping generalizations that do not always work to one's advantage.

    Happy playing.

    Curious as well since no dated gear has stats at all. Nor was it meldable.

    none of them have any stats besides block rate and strength, which are useless for mages. The level 10 Round shield is better for CNJ and the level 12 Leather Targe is better for both CNJ and THM.
