I don't want to waste any eternal orbs on my armor or shield at the moment since new ones might come out that are appealing for gunslingers doing specific things, like FSC. But I can't get past 8-2 right now because I don't have a 5* shield and it would take me ages to make one.

Am I able to run the FSC rank mission if I tag along with someone else, or am I locked out of it until I reach 9-3? I want to run it so I can get the Ancient Plate Shield and get past 8-2 HoH. I know I can do it via arcade, but it doesn't look like anyone runs that, I can't find a group for it. And since I'm lacking an active guild right now, I can't just hop into guild runs.

I was planning on making my AP, Sentenza, and Elite trinkets, but until I see the list of new gunslinger armors, helmets, and shields, I don't want to spend any orbs on new armors (except making the Sunset hat). So I'd rather try and get the 5* armor pieces via FSC tokens. Is that doable in 8-2 or am I unable to run that mission even if invited to a group for it?

Eternal orbs aren't that rare. Just play a bunch of T3 arenas.

Also, if you start an arcade run heading for FSC, chances are someone will join you on the way there.

Can I join someones group for FSC 9-3 though? Or am I locked out of it?

I've been running The Great Escape D20 for orbs and crystals so far. I got nothing out of the 7-2, 7-3, and 8-1 arena missions, and those were hell to get through.

IIRC you can join a rank mission you don't have clearance for if someone invites you to one. Understandably you won't get the prestiege or other rewards you would normally get after a successful mission (you only get these once you're of the correct rank first time completing the mission) but for the FSC mission this may not matter much since the main prize are the tokens and high crown payout that are earned during the mission and therefore completely available to you.

Then if anyone sees me online and plans to run an FSC, would you please invite me to it? I need to earn 90 tokens.

Play WoW. This black friday you'll be able to get the base game and the first four expansions for only $15. Such a good deal.

&-& Damn, that game is so cheap now. You can buy the base game through cata for only $10 without a sale and still get a month free. MoP for only $5 more? Multiboxers gonna be happy.

"MoP for only $5 more? Multiboxers gonna be happy."

I haven't played in more than four years and MoP looks terrible but I'm going to have to get it to play the next expansion and for only $10 it is an acceptable loss.

If anyone sees me online, send me an FSC invite for 9-3. I'll tag along whenever I can.
