Â Currently, this fear is pretty unfounded; in fact, I've beat on things forgetting I was in RP gear for a while, so unless I go into a higher dungeon unawares, this is just something I need to get over.

All one really needs to beat on level 50 overworld mobs in FFXIV is a high iLv weapon; not too long ago I stormed Zanr'ak with an i90 SMN book and sub-level 10 clothing. Though Titan-Egi taking aggro helped a lot for mobbing, it's no big deal if just 1 monster spawns on top of you during RP.
