Go back and read your guide for cheaping your way to 75.

You could just get some weak armor anyway they are pretty cheap, Just eat sushi you will hit anything with the crappiest gear.

And like i said BBQ, as a level 60+ i farm so much easier then as a level 20 that trying to farm bullets. Hence it took me 1-2 days to farm what it is worth of a level 20 in a week. Hence, my "post-production" style works better then you expected.
If you levelled RNG, as you claim you did, common sense would be to level it 40 for BCNM40 and CoP missions, giving yourself added utility. BCNM40 "Worms Turn" drops that sinful Ninjustu magic you hate so much, but it still sells for decent gil. I did lots of these for my gil, on top of ISNM and selling Imperial Standing for currency. I didn't really need to farm for RNG or COR at all.

If I camped an NM, it was more often for R/E gear than not.

Consider the fact using these i hit 90% of the shots with squid during /brd /whm (meaning /rng would tell me that 25 racc+acc trait is useless.) I don't think i even need all these gear to begin with.
You can say this to make yourself feel better, but that doesn't make it true. Anyone who subs /WHM, /BRD or /NIN will feel the dropoff in accuracy almost right away, even with sushi. The +22 Range Accuracy from the Accuracy Bonus Traits is extremly useful, in addtion to Sharpshot and Barrage, which also make a difference. If you can't feel the benefits of Barrage for your damage or AGI for the accuracy Quick Draw, something just add up. Sushi is good, but it doesn't really make up that much for subbing /WHM or /BRD.

just for the record FYI, I do have everything what a 68 should and BEST to have (i even have hexagun (brought @ 100k seriously overpriced too), trailer, gun belt, scop+1 x2 ring, drone +1 x2, spect..etc, all AF, only thing i don't have +1 pants (god sake 500k for each...). Since it take me 1 day to farm 200k (i have my ways as a 60+).
Hexagun isn't the best gun for your level, Matchlock and Shark Gun are. I don't expect Shark Gun out of anyone, but Matchlock was at 56 and its probably cheaper than a Hexagun.

Hexagun is for wearing around in Whitegate, nothing more. Its a pretty gun, but the ugly guns do better damage right now. I was sweet on Hexa for a while too, but then I saw a prettier, stronger and better gun from KSNM30 and decided to settle for the uglier, but more powerful guns until I got Coffinmaker.

About deadeye gloves, how you expect me to get a group that does it? consider corsair aren't BCNM/ISNM welcome (even i know cor is good for them but people want rdm/brd), i have tried few time, no one ever want to even do it with me
You have no /NIN sub, of course no one will help you. There are two things you need to win ISNM60 "Making a Mockery" (1) High spike damage, preferably from piercing weapns (COR, RNG, DRG, SAM are all good for that) and (2) a Ninja Subjob. The /NIN sub is for when everyone gets charmed, even the WHM or RDM should sub /NIN for this BCNM. I usually do this BCNM with RNGx4, NIN and WHM. Works beautifully. RNGs bring the high burst damage, /NIN lets them survive attacks made on you when Charm wears off. You can swap out a RNG/NIN for a COR/NIN in this case.

COR has a nice total package for BCNMs. While we have no AoE sleep, we do have burst damage, buffs and a strong, light-based sleep on our side. Get a BLM to cover the AoE stuff (which is standard anyway) and COR is nothing but an asset. I've stalled NMs with Light Shot and blinked the damage in BCs long enough to help buy recovery time for weakened allies. I've taken BRD into some of the same BCNMs and it just doesn't compare. I'll give BRD an edge on Steamed Sprouts, but that's about it.
