My char is a level 34 Whitemage and had an average itemlevel of 22. After failed healing Titan in story mode I realised that my heal and my MP are to low to deal with the damage Titan is dealing to my mates.
I checked the market and bought a new staff, belt and shoes. After these changes my itemlevel increased to 25.
Now I equiped the best items I was able to find there but my average itemlevel is still 9 levels lower than my character level…
I read about level 50 endgame chars with an average itemlevel of 80 and I know it's because of the crystal tower raids, etc.
But isn't there a way to get a higher average itemlevel than the character level in midgame?

Thank you in advance!

Nope, I'm afraid there's no way to increase your item level beyond your level. Not while levelling, anyways. Every bit of equipment prior to level 50 has an item level that matches rather closely with its required level. Only once you hit max level does that open up into higher item levels.
