End Game Question

[Existencex]

So i am leveling quite quickly in this game and i am just wondering upon hitting the level cap what are some things that are an absolute must at start of beginning the "End Game"

Quickest way's to gear and get up to date and doing the most current content for PvE?

End game really comes down to finishing the main storyline - you can't unlock any of the quests, dungeons or raids for endgame until the main questline is complete. Then it just basically boils down to a gear check, which you really don't need to worry about too much at your current level. Really, at this point in time, don't rush to end game - there's so much people miss out on in a effort to get to 50 and when they get there, they've burned themselves out. So just play through the story and level your main class at your own pace.

I'm deff going at my own pace just find myself leveling a little quicker then other game's i have tried out, and i've been focusing more on my story line because of the fact the level req is lower then my current level...

Just wondering really how to gear out once i hit that cap.

I know starting to go for relic wep right ASAP is something to shoot for to.

Edit: I just killed Irfrit as well, how far off am i from getting my grand company? Then proceeding to get the chocobo.

Once you finish the storyline, you can start going, like you said, for your Relic. Also leveling your subclass a little bit more if you need some of the cross class abilities for your main job.

Start gathering tomestones for Darklight Armor, upgrade to Relic Zenith, and probably weapon. Primals, Hard Modes, are part of the Relic Quest, but also can be done apart, they can also drop a weapon. Also, try for the few new Story Missions that patch 2.1 brought up and unlock Crystal Tower.

All of that will help you on your end game equipment. Then you can push to unlock and try the Binding Coil of Bahamut, and Mythology Equipment with other kind of tomestones.

Hope this helps!

For the chocobo and Grand Company you are not far off. A few quests. Once you get into a Grand Company, the first thing to do is just that. Get your chocobo : )

Yup! Working on obtaining the Seals now

The way that I do things is a little slower than maybe your used to. But Obtain Ifrit Weapon> Garuda Weapon> Relic

In the mean time Do the Hard Mode Dungeons and equip the i60 gear, while in that process also buying Dark Light for the pieces you do not get i60 for.

By that time you'll have plenty of experience in your class (as far as endgame) to attempt Titan for your Relic.

Be patient, IF YOU DO DUTY FINDER for Titan, Treat it as a learning party, if you think you can actually win, keep doing your thing as in dodging and hope that everyone else will do the same

oh I almost forgot...I would also unlock Crystal Tower as soon as possible, for i80 gear. You only get one piece of armor a week, so feel free to lot the very first thing that drops, and have fun while doing it

I wish you the best of luck and patience because you'll need one more than the other

One piece per week seems kinda shitty but i guess in the same sense its good for the longevity of the game for the player.

So, here's the advice I give to everyone: Each bit of endgame gives items of a different ilvl... and this serves as a way to know the tiers of endgame.

First, there's item level 55. The highest Grand Company gear, your AF body, Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep, and the crafted Militia/Imperial gear. You should try to have a full set of this (as you can, depending on role you may not be able to get all your accessories level 55). The crafted set is the one I recommend most, as it can be fairly cheap and you can turn it into materia to sell when you're done, often making a profit (Make sure to get HQ so it's as good as the other available items.

Item level 60 is obtained via Copperbell Mines (Hard), Haukke Manor (Hard), and Pharos Sirius. There's two sets for each for healers, casters, tanks, pugilists, lancers, and archers. As for the weapon, it's obtained from Ifrit hard mode.

Item level 70 armor is darklight gear, obtained by Philosophy tomestones. There's also crafted versions, crafted using materials bought with philosophy tomestones. If HQ and filled with materia, the crafted ones can be better. As for weapon, there's also crafted weapons, or you can get a drop from Garuda hard mode.

Level 75 weapons drop from Good King Moggle Mog

Item level 80 armor is from Crystal Tower. You can get one drop a week. The weapon drops from Titan hard mode, and getting a relic weapon.

Item level 90 armor drops from Binding Coil of Bahamut, and can be bought with mythology tomestones. You can also get accessories from the extreme mode primals. The weapon is a relic weapon upgraded with mythology tomestones, or a weapon obtained by beating all extreme mode primals (can get one of those each week).

Item level 95 weapons drop from Binding Coil of Bahamut.

Generally, it's recommended you have a fair amount of items from the previous tier before moving on to the next one.

Awesome description appreciate it.. Now my question is, you can only receive one piece of gear from those respective dungeons/raids. Is that all across the board or is it for the class your playing? Say you greed on something that isn't for you class does that count for your "one piece"?

Also, if you wanted to level up a lancer/dragoon say as a side class and have all your pieces you want/need on your archer/bard, can you use those pieces you obtain with your bard on your lancer?

EDIT: I'm loving this community so far, very helpful and informative descriptive responses. Seeing as i come from WoW this is a big +1 to this community so far.
