Gear score too low for 'rock the castrum'?????

[WhiteBones]

I have played thru the msq as gladiator, then paladin, I have eqipped all of the best items I have but only have a gear score of 35, 42 is required for the dungeon. What am I supposed to do? Farm for gear? where?

Buy ilevel 46 gear from a merchant.

You get a set of i90 left side gear from your level 50 job quest. Maybe do it.

This is not ideal considering how low of a level he is compared to the MSQ. Getting to 50 is one option but not the best method. He just need to earn some gils and buy gears from the merchant.

He will get four pieces of i45 gear from the level 45 job quest too.

Level 50 job quest is balanced around ilvl 40-50ish so it's no problem.

He doesn't have to spend gil on npc gear.

Since when can you do Castrum before 49/50?

Prolly not doing enough side quests / duty roulettes/ whatever to get xp, I was capped at 50 for that quest

No I mean, story quests are level locked so... the quests leading up to Castrum literally require you to be level 49.

50 job quest no longet just gives the i 50 gear it also gives the i 90 gear as well so just do your 50 job quest and you'll be all good

oh heck, i remember that one. i went in vastly undergeared on first attempt and it was bad.....I didn't know where to get stuff at the time and it wasn't too pretty xD

For that matter, i made the mistake of testing multiple classes (gathering/crafting). With little gil, it did make things a bit arduous. I wound up doing lesser dungeons and selling the gear to make the gil for on par gear in the end. You're not alone man. Probs be a different story next time you run it.
