What are the minimum requirements for Amdapor ?

[Vanidin]

It's not so much gear requirements you need to worry about so long as you have af, a recent weapon and your accessories aren't 20 levels behind. Worry more about proper rotations, cooldown usage, positioning and avoiding bad stuff. I've seen a drg with the lvl 44 gc weapon outdamage a monk with ifrit weapon on demon wall (a bad fight for dragoons) simply because he knew his job... and the monk clearly didn't.

If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a group on your server for your first few runs in AK... there's quite a few toxic <censored>'s in DF who will quit immediately on encountering someone new to the instance or rage and harass you for one innocent mistake. I think (hope) this will get better soon though when people have to start paying to play.

you can go in with af, as long as you don't die to stuff. but you might want to farm like preotorium or something like that get some darklight pieces.

Can someone tell me what are minimum req for a dragoon to do Amdapor keep?

You want my clear and honest opinion about Amdapor?

Get your Grand Company 44 green weapon and go farm HM Ifrit for your ifrit harpoon. Much easier and less of a headache, depending on your luck, you can get it pretty quick.
Just remember...

Phase 1: burn and avoid aoe pits. Get out of the front of clones after ifrit teleports.
Phase 2: Pat BLM or SMN on back for using level 3 AOE LB on nails and cheesing the entire phase. If no blm/smn melee lvl3 lb one nail, goto next and proceed to work on it while dps get other 2. Depending on time crunch lb1/2 nail and focus it down.
Phase 3: Plume aoe spawns in sequence. Spawns outside, then inside, then cluster everywhere but boss. So dps from inside, move towards flank and dps after plumes drop. then get behind again.

Do Amdapor after getting ifrit weapon. Hear less elite qq in DF on Ambador.

waiting 1h while the game reserves an instance for your full party u.u

Alright so here my problem I have a champions lance with 2 materia melds on it for the proto type relic weapon. I haven't traded it in yet because I still have not seen the spear drop in Bowl of embers (Hard). I was going to get my GC spear but I have to beat Ak in order to get the promotion. Almost every time I get into AK which is about 50mins. Someone in the party ask me to leave because they said I don't have dps when we haven't even move>.<.

Thats my character stats atm do you guys think its good enough for AK or just spam Bowl of embers until I get a spear?

Some of that jewelry is kinda bad. But Champ. Lance should be more than enough. Though honestly, ifrit is an easy farm for his lance and its a clear upgrade. You can do him when you're tired of Ambador DF qq rage.

AF. Level 50 weapon, done. Never once have I ran Amdapor Keep saying: "Shit.. I better gear"

Same here, AF gear and lvl 50 GC weapon and did it with my first time in this dungeon with random people.

Amdapor Keep is more about knowing what you're doing rather than having much of a gear check. Full AF + a GC weapon / Darklight weapon (ilvl55) / Wanderer's Palace crafted weapon is fine as long as you can adapt to the mechanics. In fact a lot of the content up until Titan HM is very lenient in terms of gear checks.

To those mentioning the Lieutenant Weapons, it's true that you need AK to hit that rank if you didn't obtain it in 1.0. However, what people miss is that Wanderer's Palace drops ilvl 55 stuff, including weapons. Lt Weapons are also ilvl 55.

If i'm in AK, I usually only balk at people who come in with something under 45 or a white weapon without any materia at all. I don't tell them to leave, but I do tell them we may not be able to finish, depending on how bad the gear is.
