Re: Relic of a bygone era
Well, I'm not sure if he keeps bringing it up for this reason, but like I said, I'm a perpetually poor Paladin.
I'm not sure what it is - I just suck at making (and keeping) money in this game (I don't think I've ever had more than 900,000 gil on my own, usually 200k or less). I buy Regular, cheap versions of my equipment (unless the +1 is also cheap and/or provides a large benefit over the NQ, IE: Not just +1 more Stat-Here.)
Also, I don't have an HNMLS/Sea LS/Limbus LS, or even a BCNM LS, if those, in fact, exist. I used to be a part of one, but the constant HNM camping really burned me out, and it ended up being thrust into LS-Drama chaos before the shell finally split. I'm not really too keen on joining one again. So I'll probably not be taking on any HNMs for drops or money, probably not even see Absolute Virtue.
A certain HNMLS however, does allow me to go to their Dynamis with them, and lot on AF2. Valor gear, and maybe, +1 Valor Gear, is definitely a possibility. That Aegis-4 and Excalibur-4 (and Ragnarok-4) probably aren't going anywhere though, but I hang on to them anyway.
Apart from that though, I just kind of hang out with my friends in my social linkshells, do the occasional mission with them, stuff like that.
So in reality, I'm probably not going to get access to the extreme items, and I'll probably always have trouble with DDers in the super-duper piecemeal gear who unload on the monster as soon as it's caught. I still try though, because if I'm not getting hit, there's little use for all my damage reduction tools and heavy plate-mail.
But, I wondered if there was something within my scope of getting things done that I could change gear-wise, anyway. It's been a real long time since I changed PLD gear, so I might have missed something. Since I hear a lot about PLDs going Damage-Dealer, I thought I'd ask about that too. My highest melee is my 40 Warrior, you see, and it's literally been 4 years since I've levelled that job, so I'm quite out of touch with what actual Damage Dealers are supposed to wear
Thus, my post.
I thank everyone for their suggestions, and I'll take them into consideration. If anyone has anything to add, I'll be happy to listen, too :D
