Hi all, here is my best loadout right now.

I can comfortably do up to N Lo-mien
So my question is, now that i can get CRA and Abso, which parts should i start replacing?

I think Arcane gears are still out of reach for me at this stage.
I think legend potentials and cubes will be difficult to get, but not entirely impossible.

Burning gear don’t get replaced until you start getting arcane set, with rentals and item burning you should be able to clear up to hard lucid+ where you get arcanes

#

You should be able to clear normal slime and normal lucid comfortably with burning gear to unlock its max effect

#

Then with rentals and the free ror4 you get for reaching silver on cw

#

You should be able to do hard lucid with minimal investment. Upgrade your secondary/emblem, try to potential 2+ lines of att% on them then use rentals to clear out hard lucid+ on the following weeks for potential arcane box drops

#

Lastly invest in training gear (5 lines of Messo obtained and 3l of item drop), training is very important to increasing your power, if you’re cw it something to heavily consider post 260+ (and in general)

#

Training provides: a ton of wealth, I occasionally train for the duration of a WAP potion (2 hours), walking away with 600m+ messos, you get more sol Erda to level your 6th job skills and you get familiars which will potentially give you more item drop, boss damage and especially useful for a lot of later bosses, healing familiars

#

As well as levels (duh) but levels are still important as bosses take less or more damage based on your level relative to there’s so if you wanna do max damage you need to be 270 for anything below ctene bosses

#

If you don’t think you can still solo join a distribution party and hope for luck of the draw

@narrow grotto thanks so much for the detailed response.

here are some more questions in regards to certain points you raised.
1.) training gears, meso and item lines.
For training it's sufficient to prepare a set of accessories and the other gears dont really have to change, right?

2.) one of my main concern with the rental gear is the cost (at this stage, because only 40% meso line), since it cost around 2b for all, and i dont think i am able to get that back within a week.
