Hey guys, I'm a bit slow with making progress in the game, and just got to Idyllshire. I just got my PLD to 60, but most of my gear is the HQ ilvl145 stuff (I just bought on marketboard since I get money from selling mining stuff and random knickknacks). Hoping you guys can give me some advice on what's the fastest way for gear progression since it seems things are gated (outside of raising 6million gil and buying i220 gear)
- I'm currently doing the Alexandrite quest for my relic weapon. The books were a pain to grind through, though it did force me to go through some optional dungeons I hadn't done before. I was farming alexandrite doing the goblin mines fates and got like 15 in a few hours. I haven't done the daily lvl 50 roulette yet since I'm not familiar with a lot of the hard level dungeons on the list and don't want to drag down groups. Is farming alexandrite in the mines worth it? Is it even worth trying to do the relic weapons at this point or wait until I finish regular content and come back to it?
- Should I be trying to farm esoterics at this point to get i200 gear? Or should I wait until I finish Heavensward and start doing dungeon looting to slowly increment my gear?
- I'm also just about lvl51-52 on all my DoH/DoL classes, should I try getting those guys to lvl60 and synthing my stuff instead?
Sorry for the questions, The Vault was the first dungeon in awhile where I couldn't just buy my way into having OP gear and there were a few close calls. The enemies just before Idyllshire were hitting me hard too and I wasn't doing much damage to them without my chocobo, so I'm looking for a way to get my power discrepancy back
