GC disciple question

[raelgun]

hello there guys, finally logged in last night with my 1.0 char whos lvl 32 thaum, now seems there has been a shift in what sort of GC gives what in terms of items, annoyingly need to do the quests to rejoin a GC, now havent had the chance to take a look at which GC sell what, could only see the flames one, was with them before and actually was able to buy disciple of magic equipment.

so is each GC optimised to a disciple so to speak, others that may sell caster weapons or better ones then each other among other equipment.

I did some research into this as well as built a spreadsheet to help my decision, this is what I got so far:

So for your Main: THM the best GC would be the Flamers (Immortal Flames), giving 45 point bonus to INT.

If the info I got from end-game items from GC's are correct for ARR, this is where my source info came from to fill-out the XLS:

(can anyone confirm that the items pictured in the image links are indeed the correct end-game items from each GC?)

I wish the game had let you know what gear you'd be getting. Joined as a prospective summoner and now at lv45 I can see you get nothing at all for casters as a Twin Adder.

Pretty crappy ;(. There's no reason for me to grind seals for the Adders, ever.

So I picked my Grand Company (Twin Adder) based on what city I wanted to be the 'home' for my character. What I'm interested in is when you say things like the "best" for Thm was Immortal Flames with +45 INT, how does that compare to other GC's? I was under the (potentially mistaken, totally uniformed impression) that the Grand Company you chose had as much affect on your character as what Race / God you chose. Which is to say basically nothing.

I am not sure which GC to pick. I am planning on becoming Scholar? Which one of the three would be best?

cheers mate, more threads like these are needed, gives a nice guide, trial and error is all nice, but had to put up with that in 1.0 anyways, hoping we can make a constructive table or thread with this, went with immortal flame.
