Weapon drops will need to be adjusted for new jobs/classes

Yeah.. a part of me dislikes when a group are farming and a spear drops when there's no dragoon in the party. Haha. xD

No. They added SCH/ACN/SMN books to the loot tables just fine.

You may see a weapon get needed more often than greed, but I can assure that will chance when new jobs are added (basic math).

What I said isn't the only and/or best solution to the upcoming problem; just one possible solution to even worse drop rates. :) Do you have another idea that doesn't require crafted gear?

If there are 15 jobs, its not a 15% drop chance.... its 1/15 = 0.0666666

This. So much this, but with better grammar and spelling.

Sorry, my brain was retarded. Editing original post.

So you rather have a .0666666 chance of getting your weapon drop instead?

They added them to the loot tables just fine, but they also lowered everybody's chances at getting the weapon drop of their class (more weapons = less chance to get the weapon you need). The more classes/weapons they add, the less likely you'll ever get the weapon/gear drop you need.

I'm having a hard time understanding why all bosses except the last one in a dungeon, only drop 1 item at a time to begin with. I think all bosses should drop at least 1 weapon and 1 armor piece per kill.

The last thing I want is a weapon for the job I'm in there doing it on. That job probably has a relic or is doing the fight on the way to a relic. I want a drop for something I don't have a better weapon for already. Or I can always turn stuff in for GC seals.

As long as grand company weapons still exist, I am not worried. Primal weapons are more a luxury when you have a GC weapon.

So when you're a fresh fifty (assuming it's your first), you don't want a ifrit or garuda weapon? You want to be stuck with a darklight and/or GC weapon trying to fight Titan? I feel like you're looking at it from the point of view of someone who already has a level 50 with relic/garuda weapon they can grind primals with for other weapons (and looking at your profile, you have no 50's. I advise trying to take on titan with a GC weapon party before saying you wouldn't want it for your current relic questing class). Fresh 50's are going to have a very hard time getting their primal weapons (which they DO need if they don't want to be carried past Titan).

Have you tried fighting Titan with a party that ONLY has GC weapons? It's not pretty getting past heart phase, even building up LB.


Or maybe I'm just crazy and people won't care about grinding a primal 500 times for a weapon they actually need. It just seems bad from my point of view.

I'm perfectly content with this. Yes. This is the way MMO's work. I don't want to play a game where every time I kill a boss I get a handout. Sometimes you have to kill it with your friends a few times, and that's how it should be. Also, sometimes I like farming for secondary jobs as I level them by using my existing endgame character. Your proposal would make that impossible and would be incredibly more annoying.
