Like most MMO's there is standard gear progression you are recommended to have in order to take on some dungeons. The following is a small list that will help you make sure you are prepared for Hard Modes in FFXIV.

When you meet the following criteria please inform an Officer so you may be promoted in the FC. This is subject to change as more info is discovered.

Ranks are based off your character progression.

Aes Rank - Geared for HM Garuda, min iLv 50
Aos Rank - Geared for Coil 1-3, iLv 60-70 w/ Relic
Cait Rank - Full DL w/Relic but has no raid group.
Daoine Rank - Full DL w/ Relic and has a raid group

Aos, Cait and Daoine can use Company Action Buffs as they please.

So please get geared if you want a certain buff or use items from the bank for your raids.
