Preparing for dancer
For some reason I find dancer oddly entertaining. I think the biggest reason is because I don't have to be reliant on anyone for support in most situations. As long as I can cure myself I can keep going for awhile. Here is a list of equipment that I think I need to play the job properly while being realistic about what I can afford or earn. I do not believe weaponskill equipment is needed at all for dancer, so I will not cover that.
Items in bold are items I want or should have, regular font are items I already have, italics are nice to haves.
After looking closer at many of the options available to dancer the equipment choices are pretty disappointing. I have almost everything I need assuming I am not overlooking anything and can purchase nearly everything I don't already have off of the auction house. I will need to make an attempt at getting a swift belt sooner or later.
Hopefully this coming update in March will reveal interesting artifact armour, unlock a Salvage set for the job (Usukane please!), and introduce another alternate 75ish equipment from Wings of the Goddess. I intend to merit dagger to help strengthen the job. Hopefully dagger merits will be completed before any job specific merits are introduced.

| Weapons: | Adder Jambiya/Matron's Knife/Joyeuse | It is unlikely I would merit with dancer which is the only time I see a joyeuse as being useful although it would be nice for working up to 75. |
| Range: | Junior Musketeer's Chakram +2 | I will most likely stick with this over swapping an ammo with melee stats on it. |
| Head: | Optical Hat/Walahra Turban | |
| Neck: | Love Torque | |
| Earrings: | Brutal Earring/Something else | There are a lot of secondary earrings to choose from. All of them are basically the same. | Body: | Scorpion Harness +1/Denali Jacket | I currently have a normal harness. I do not know if I will upgrade. |
| Hands: | Dusk Gloves | |
| Rings: | Rajas Ring/Accuracy rings | Accuarcy rings are all easy to come by. |
| Back: | Charger Mantle/Forager's Mantle | Maybe it is time to get a forager's. |
| Waist: | Swift Belt | |
| Legs: | Barbarossa's Zerehs | |
| Feet: | Dusk Ledelsens/Denali Gamashes |
