Thanks again for answering my question in game regarding this Brian. Awesome video as always

Considering how much the meta shifts still, and we dont have gear organization mechanisms yet… I have gearing at my lowest priority.

Gear score is a solid indication of your total stats at 60. Gear Score 500 items, for instance, have +20 single stat while a 590 has +29, so a higher Gear score means a higher raw amount of attributes. But if, like me when I first hit 60, you decided to go and buy 590+ Gear to bump me up enough to run Genesis and Tempest, then you may end up with stats divvied into attributes that don't help you much, and with traits that aren't great for your role or weapons, which definitely has an impact on your performance, and this is true even later on. Gear score means more raw numbers to work with but a good build means attributes and traits, not just attribute totals. That's how I've been deciding my gearing the last few days since hitting 60. Gear score matters a lot to me so long as the item I'm equipping has attribute bonuses I need. For now, I've mostly ignored traits, instead prioritizing dungeon and world drops that work well enough to replace the stuff I bought while I save up to invest in a set of crafted 600 gear.

FFXIV fan that was gonna play this game anyway. Glad u made the move with me XD

I hate the armoring system, good idea on using storage for load outs, I do something similar. But the gearing is ridiculous to figure out. I need armor with wards for each type, also each piece of armor needs to have to perks related to the weapon I am using. Even though they say that damage typed don't matter that much, they still do to a degree. Then I have to decide what weight armor, used to be all heavy, couldn't survive M's with light, now all of a sudden, light is the in thing. I don't really pvp that much and would like to run dungeons but I don't want to be that one guy holding up the group, Seems like I have to have 5 different sets of armor and multiple of same weapon types to go with the sets. Then there is crafted vs dropped..... it's a never ending cycle of confusion

Great video as always. I run solo for the most part and some of your gearing tips will definitely help in Brimstone. Being one or two shot by the fire archers is getting old so upping my Con and Armor rating is what I did yesterday. Ironically I spent a bit of time yesterday organizing all storage inventory by region, crafting specialty and tier levels. Leather working is in Ebon, cooking in Everfall, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing you do a video on how you apply foods, potions and coatings for expeditions and/or free roaming? Cheers!

while I was hoping this video would cover perk prio and a more end game goal gearing mindset, this seems helpful to new players. I would just add, while salvaging you can actually also hold ctrl+c to quick salvage without the little message popping up. Saves a lot of time when deleting in mass, especially blues greens greys, and when leveling your professions.

Great video, thank you! Loving the game this time around!

I had no idea we were now on the same server, cool! Also as a long time on/off player, I love the loadout system hack you did.

Does refreshing and like physical aversion stack on all pieces?

Wow this is amazing subscribed

Love your presentation and positive attitude. I played initial release for about 4 mo, but the Game felt more like work than fun. Giving fresh start a go and hoping for better this time around. 😊

8:46 I’m shook. 700 hours and I never noticed that button in the trading post. Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Hey new to the game I just level 42 I think. I was wondering what are some good xp alternatives when questing gets to be boring? I just found out about Amrise and Starstone and those were both super fun, but is the xp/items worth it at all or should I be doing something else?

you are on my server, would love to explore and join you.

Can you explain the differences in gear score with Light, Medium and Heavy aspects and the classes associated with them?

Where or how do u get the armors of the video thumbnail?

Hell ya just hit 600 in some items last jight

BROO Asmongold reviewed your FF14 video.. that's insane! Also, glad you're committing to new world : )

Blessed are the cheese makers.

I’m a returning player, how to go from 600 expertise to 625?

Can you do a steamdeck setup guide?

You got the name of the server right🎉

13:09 Did you really scrapped a legendary named hatchet? yikes...😂

Like! First!

Very confused explanations, too much talk not enough structure
