Thread: [Interview] Zodiak weapons, Philo removal, 3.0 and more

So, let me see if I have this right....

Philo tomes are going bye bye and the gear from them is being moved into HM dungeons?

Myth tomes are still going to come out of CT and we'll use those to buy Myth gear off a vendor still? That table says i90 is out of Bahamut now, but thats Myth level gear.... I dont want to be running Coil for my Myth sets....

I guess I"m confused just a tad on the whole thing and I cant find a single post anywhere yet that clarifies it for me.

I'm one of those who is so far behind in getting my Myth sets that at present, thats the thing that concerns me most. I could care less about upgrading my relics really.

Yes, Darklight gears will be become drops in the three new 2.2 dungeons. Rowena will no longer carry them.

Myth will become the new philo (i.e. the lowest tier tome). Rowena will continue to trade myth/AF+1 gear (ilvl90 gear) for myth tomes, which will now be farmable due to the removed weekly cap. Coil Turn 1-5 will also continue to drop ilvl90 allagan gear, which should also become farmable due to the removed lockout.

Once we're a few weeks in, ilvl90 gear will basically become what DL gear is now: minimum gear for tackling the newest high-end contents.

myth gear won't change, and myth will most likely be easier to get

Ok this makes more sense then I guess....

I'd be happy to have Myth like Philo is now so i can get the Dragoon Myth set just for RP/Looks. As it is, I couldnt justify the Myth for it since I'm a healer and prefer to stay that way.

Thanks all!

I feel like there are mixed feelings about all of this business. Myself personally, I really hate the fact that Philosophy Tomestones are being removed from the game. I don't have a lot of time to spend on the game and the Philo Tomes made it a lot easier for me to gear myself up with the i70 gear. Now I have to wait awful queue times and try to fight people over gear and it will take that much longer for me to be able to move to the higher iLevel content. This is really disappointing for those of us who are on a fixed gameplay schedule.

Or you could skip darklight altogether. Crystal Tower will continue giving out 50 per run and you don't even need full DL for that.

See, you're missing the beauty of it. Instead of farming for Philo for your alts, you can farm for Myth! You'll be able to spruce them up in i90, as opposed to i70. It's likely that they'll up the Myth you'll get from dungeons (since it's replacing Philo entirely) and it will take just as long (or close to) to get the AF+1 set as it would to get the Philo equivalent.

This is so regressive and a throw-back to the last decade.

Good job ESO is going to be only a few days after this crass change.

Your wrong, now myth gear is taking place of darklight you can buy that. Myth cap will be lifted so you can farm as much as you want in a single sitting.
