*goes to do znms, since apparently any fucking retard can get homam feet -1 for war now*
Also: Mioko, delevel that shit asap.
Noone wants a lvl 53 Bard at HNM camps. :D
Only thing I see here is the Onimaru SAM using HAchiman legs and Shura Togi (even though I use shura also lul).Originally Posted by Vlorsutes
I used to think just like that until I was told that every little bit of a stats from HQ helps. Obviously not the kind of HQ, like say, seers .Originally Posted by Shonin
Example 4/5 errant(because who really uses the head piece?) < full 4/5 mahamut. Its 4 more INT/MND than errant.
There are a lot of HQ items for melee that add +1 of something. It might not be a big deal if all you had was HQ amemet, but coupled with something else HQ, and you will see some improvement in performance.
Anyway, this is BG ;p. People here have played FOREVER and done it all. Times are also different now; A new 75RDM who hasn't been 75 for no more than a month will be expected to be pimped out right off the bat. 'It's fun to make fun of poorly geared players'. It's easy to spot the ones who are new or just struggling to go through the transitions of their job level to level, but yeah welcome to the gimp/confused/wtf player thread .
So if I hit 75 with fourth division gauntlets, sipahi zerehs, NQ amemet and a venerer ring i'll be posted here too because I just didn't whitebox myself or buy dusk ?
edit: http://www.ffxiah.com/player.php?id=863606&sid=28 Right ring is ecphoria, dont know why it isn't there. But someone tell me. What is the point, really, of following peoples suggestions (I didn't TP in accuracy) if I'm going to be shot down by "LOL gimp, lax woodsman +1 LOL" "NQ Amemet? GTFO"
I think it's somewhat different if you know what you need to improve, but just don't have the means to do it by yourself, (no haidate/hecatomb for warrior etc) but if you're just out right lazy and cant even get some equipment that's not even expensive these days, you'll be posted here.

And yea lol @ your Venerer Ring and NQ Amemet etc, if you ding 75 into that you fail.
That is the reason this thread exists.
While there's a fair bit of NQ Amemet mocking, a lot of the people in these threads aren't just poor, they're STUPID. They don't just have bad gear, they have badly-chosen gear. There's zero excuse to wear a Martial Axe or that Zanshin cape or full DRG AF in a merit party. And yeah, if you hit 75 with a Venerer instead of at least a Woodsman, I'd call you gimp, particularly if you were wearing expensive other gear.Originally Posted by Shonin
Well fuck that. I'm not making ~500k for what... 1 STR, 5 ATTK, 2 ACC? I'm sure you all dinged with Haubergeon +1, Woodsmans +1s, Amemets +1's, swift belts galore. This community is all elitist bastards. I farm for weeks for 600 fucking k for items I think will improve myself just to get told off and laughed at by some random person with 7 level 75 jobs and is in endgame 80/168 hrs of the week. Seriously.
So then why are you here? You're clearly not one of us.
Having snipers/woodsman or haubergeon or even Amemet Mantle+1 [200k on my server], doesn't make you an elitist. I'd consider that the norm. Everything is so cheap now, and there is a plethora of ways to make money in this game, and you're struggling for a 200k back piece? You belong in this thread my good sir.
In case you missed the memo, this is an end game forum. Allakhazam is that way.

I want to ask you, did you ding 75 with HQ gears? I mean tell me, is it really worth the time to work for +1 str 5 attk?Originally Posted by Tormentormike
I've dinged 75 in HQ gears and neat equipment several times, because i could and had gear over for jobs i leveled before etc.
But what people here said is true.
And instead of arguing to people on these boards go cry on Alla where your shit gear is elite, go away.
Edit: Btw, having more decent equipment shows in the direction you are a serious player that wanna be as good as possible (maybe still while learning, which we all do to some extent everyday), okey?
Maybe I overreacted in my previous post a little bit. But is it wrong to just want to get to level 75 first ?
You call us elitist, we simply say we have standards. QQ moar about farming, most of us did it too. Back in the pre-sushi days, I farmed for a month in Pashhow Marshlands as a ~43 DRK for ONE Sniper. Why? Because I had standards, and I was willing to do what it took to meet them. I actually ended up quitting DRK and leveling another job, because I couldn't afford to play DRK well. Everyone starts somewhere, most of us worked our asses off for the gear we're so proud of now, and we expect you to do the same, not just sit there and go "BUT IM POOR". It's actually easier to get the basic gear now, because HQ spamming has lowered the values relative to other things to the point where 500k won't just get you one Sniper, it'll get you a Sniper, a HQ Amemet and a Hauby.Originally Posted by Shonin
Lastly, and for the millionth time, you're not even the kind of person who this thread targets. If you know you're gimp and are trying to get better gear, most people won't care that much. However, if you spend your money on stupid shit or wear clearly inferior gear when there's a cheap and superior alternative, yes, we'll call you a gimp, and you'll deserve the label. Lot of the people in this thread very clearly HAVE money, they just choose to waste it on bad decisions, and we call them on it.
^That makes a lot of sense. Sorry about my inappropriate reaction
Beadeaux farming Old Quadav's for the Quadav Helm quest was how it was done back in the day, 900 gil each was just sex!
