I'm starting up a HUcast for the first time and trying to get them solid enough "core" gear to do ultimate within a set amount of PDs. Currently have 680 PDs that I can spend (basically all I have stocked up over time, and I'm okay using them all here) and I'm wondering what are the essentials that I should get with this set PD amount as a budget? note: I'm starting from literally 0 relevant gear right now so I even have to get "basic" stuff like V101 (upgrading from h/battle), proof of sword saints, etc (assuming I go down the excal road), power mats, etc.
The weapon choices being the main issue as I'm unsure what the best "most bang for your buck" purchases should be here. The two roads I have in mind are either going for a 20 or so hit excal + some proof of sword saints and a tellusis mag OR go for a 50 hit (or whatever the PD equivalent is to a 20 hit excal) diska of braveman + a thirteen armor and then w/e the hell units I would need here. I know Dark Flow is another option but I assume this is for more specific niche situations and doesn't offer as much wide-range overall use as the other 2 choices. I'm leaning more towards the excal+saints but idk.
Obviously the choice of "just blow it all on a 30 hit excal" or similar such things is not the correct path, I want to be able to spread out these PDs in a way I get enough core gear to do a wide array of content at my leisure. This includes being able to comfortably farm stuff like EP4 dorphons/kondrieu for possible drops and generally just gear for most content worth doing.
, etc.
Also yes I am aware the prices for items are not 100% static and the price guide in the wiki only goes so far, so this will be based off general "reasonable average" estimates for prices on items.
