ok, so after a month and a half of play, ive hit 85. now im trying to build up gear to make myself a significant damage dealer. i have an idea so far of what i wanted, but im not sure if it was one that meshed well together. so i come seeking advice of those whove been there, seen that.

quick background info:
no sea/sky access yet
mithra sam
5/5 sTP merits
limited to few hundred k gil for gear.

my current crap:

and what i think id like:

feel free to mix, match, and edit what you feel needs changes.

WS DMG+ GK is better than Hagun, very easy to get and easy to 5 hit.

no sea/sky access, but you put Byakko's Haidate? /is confused...seriously.. your mix match build is fine until you get AF3+1 stuff.. haguns are MEGA cheap these days, as they are typically not worth it... go get yourself a keitonotachi+1 (i did WS path, because you can 5 hit it eventually..and can't 4 hit the STP one...)

Think he put Kitty Pants in the set he's working for, not what he currently has. It's not hard to get sky access, would only take 1-2 days if you really push it, especially now at 85, probably even moreso at 90.

Also you should look into a thew bomblet for the ammo slot and also a rose strap. Ditto on the WS part.

Should aim for the AF3 stuff in my opinion as you'll be lucky to find any groups that do Sky anymore for Byakko's Haidate, but you could get lucky I suppose.

Also as suggested; the Keitonotachi +1 is a decent weapon, but perhaps you should get STP+10 giving you more of a change at getting the golden 5hit considering the rest of your current gear.

You could try and get a pair of heafoc mitts. Failing that, alkys are still a popular choice. Once you get sea, you should also look into WS gorgets. Definitely ditch the shitsoku, as stated before.

Do WS dmg magian GKT, easy to do and a very good GKT.
Buy pallas/alkys for your WS set.
Finish CoP to get your rajas + brutal.
Just sport full perle til you get af3 legs/head.

AF3/Chiv/fowling/Brutal
Perle/Dusk/xxx/Rajas
Amemet+1/Swift/AF3/Fumas

As a second ring idk, can use whatever these days it seem, str ring isnt really WRONG anymore.

Pretty simple upgrades that will serve you well!

This should work well for TPing, imo:

Hardest piece to obtain is the necklace.
In the mean time:
neck -> Chiv Chain
feet -> fuma sune-ate
back -> forager's

I'd say Askar Korazin is the best tp piece, but getting people to do nyzul (with pluviale and loki's kaftan existing) can be tough.

At this point, the cap increase being literally days away; I'd wait to see what else they release, before you make any plans ^^
