So I came back to FFXI after 6 years and have been trying to figure out the most efficient path to gearing up (I play mostly mage jobs.)
From Domain Invasion points what gear is most useful/lasting (for a Mythic WHM or basic GEO/BLM/SCH/RDM?) I have 1800 points but every time I go to spend them I get a little overwhelmed and hold off. Same dilemma on my 2nd account (MNK). So far the Embla Sash and the boost-regain WS belt for MNK seem highly useful, but many of the other pieces are upgrades, if minor, over what I have now.
In Ambuscade I've collected 10 metals and fibers from last month, but again I hold off upgrading so I don't waste those items.
If it helps, my chars were all endgame min/maxed in 2014 (lol). I have the AF/Relic +1 sets and so far I've picked up the 109 versions of Empy gear. Replacing the non-ilev refresh pieces (serpentes/nares/Spurina) is a priority.
