    Well to be honest so far you only really need to have good gear for titan.

    I have done ak ifrit and garuda with just my class gear i got on 45 and 1 piece on 50 and crafted jewelry and company weapon
    over the last couple of days i did get some better gear but that was just 3 drops from ak en for the titan attempt our fc goldsmith gave me some better jewelry.
    ak you can pretty much do when u get to 50 and you got the gear from your quests
    Now it wont be a speed run but it is not that hard
    Garuda is where things get interesting but as a other poster already stated as long as the group can down the adds on time it really is not a big deal
    Now Titan is a whole different ball park where u do need good gear

    But as with any game more important are the people you are playing with and your capabilities to use your class.
    Then the gear you are wearing (swimsuits excluded)

    Core players dont queue. Core players have other FC core players to run with.

    I love this post as someone who is new to MMOs and also not in level 50 yet. I would much rather do the work and get educated ahead of time, than be yelled at the entire time I'm trying to do the dungeon because I didn't know what I was doing. I, for one, will do the work I need to do before the dungeons so I don't feel like an idiot. This should be advice for EVERY instanced fight, not just the endgame content. (Tried running Qarn again to clean up a hunting log... That was fun...)

    One more thought: When playing a regular Final Fantasy game, isn't it more fun to power level, explore content, and find hidden things before you get to bosses? If you just run straight to the end game without doing anything it's super annoying. Tried it the first time I played FF8, and hated the game. Second time I played, I did the work to get Squalls best weapon on disc 1, which gave me time to really learn the mechanics of the game, and it completely changed the experience. Just saying.

    I feel sorry for you XyleHarkyn if you're not interested in doing content with FC members simply for the sake of doing content regardless if you can beat it or not. The entire point of playing an mmo is to be part of an online community that does things together....if that's not what your doing then why play MMO's at all?
    No, you sir are the one who is very wrong.

    NO ONE LIKES TO LOSE!

    I don't know why you mouth breathers have such a hard time wrapping your heads around this. You're probably that one kid who sat out in gym class because you fail at anything even remotely competitive. If you and your FC feel like getting smashed in content you're clearly not ready for then fine but don't queue in duty finder until you meet the requirements for completion.

    I'll hit 50 this weekend and was wondering what comes next, so good post OP, thank you.

    Good lord, this thread has certainly brought out the worst of some people.

    XyleHarkyn, good post. I applaud your effort to educate on the subject of endgame gear progression in this game and the issues that are causing confusion for new lvl 50 players.

    Please don't be discouraged by the folks in this thread who posted a knee-jerk reaction without reading past the first 2 sentences, we need more players who are willing to share information. It's bad enough that we can't help those who refuse to listen and instead spew hate, the last thing we need is to leave people behind because we stopped talking altogether.

    Good info

    Tc gave an explanation for his position in plus of giving good, readily available information that can help many people.

    On the other hand, the self entitled scrubbies who believes that everyone should compensate for their incompetence and laziness, because they think they're legends, are just whining and saying the equivalent of "no u".

    I'm still low level but I thank you tc for the information. Ignore the bads who are whining. They'll more than likely quit and fail at everything they do both in game and RL.

    It's like children throwing temper tantrums at "you must be this tall to ride" signs.

    Good post OP despite the negativity.

    While I have had good pugs the majority of them are undergeared for anything. Example for the "you don't need x gear for y instance" people, pugged AK for the first time in weeks last weekend. Got matched with a decent healer but 2 under geared dps. One with a GC wep and the other with a lvl 44 pink wep neither had any darklight. Needless to say we never made it past wall. Best we did was survive until he pushed us back so far we were in the poison. So while i agree that a good player can do some things without being completely geared it's not recommended.

    Once you get to Titan HM that pretty much changes. Go in with under 3100hp and you're almost assured to get killed by stomps in p3. That's if you manage to avoid everything before that and get the heart down.

    It's not about being elitist or a jerk. It's about not expecting to be carried to everything. Do the work like the rest of us had to do

    So in other words as rydin stated it just seems to be people like OP are just sub-par skilled players that cannot function without the best gear possible, so they try to brainwash everyone else into thinking you need this and this gear for content that you don't need it for. AF is perfectly fine for most endgame content outside of Coil. accept it or not, i could careless, but don't feed this egotistical BS to people who actually have a will of their own.
    You sound like a wonderful person. I soooooo want to play with you

    You mean farm AK / wanderer using exploits skipping all mobs doing a 20 minutes run?
