I agree that the best gear should come from instanced bosses/NMs, unless the field NM's are just so badass hard that it would warrent some kind of decent drop.
I am also hoping that they get away from NM's/bosses dropping 'completed' equipment. Or, drop Completed equipment that can be improved by the crafter by ways other that just materia. I really wish there was a way to take the low rank flametoung and iceburg from the lower NM's and craft them into something more powerful and higher rank. Make better use of crafters...
I of course say this as a crafter. Im sure the non-crafter would be against this 100%.

06-23-2011, 03:45 AMRoaranI agree, I suppose the materia system would accomodate for some of this though.... It wouldn't be that much harder to have the NMs drop materials and then have them crafted, but I think that would cause those NMs to then be camped 24/7 just to sell the materials to crafters. Hard decision tbh.Quote:

I think NMs should drop both completed gear and materials for gear. Crafters can already make more then enough money as it is. All it sounds like to me is some people trying to be even greedier. Those of us who don't craft pretty much have to rely on leves for our main source of income.Quote:

Not all of us are big on crafting, I'm sure there is middle ground to be had. -
07-09-2011, 01:44 PMdarkstarpoet1yeah, i charge millions to craft gear for my friends and ls members.....ask any of them how much i have charged them. the answer is nothing or if i do it is them to provide me the mats. if that's too hard to come up with you don't deserve the gear in the first place.Quote:

if you depend on that small amount of gil every reset for your main source of income you have even bigger issues than crafters. -

There are better options out there! NM's are tough to camp because of annoying bots and other campers but FFXI had Beastman seals to get you into BSNM and kindred seals to get you into KSNMs and other stuff like that (basically instances you have to work for, for you non FFXI people). not to mention another thing in FFXI; pop items! lets say there is a sheep NM you want, you farm normal sheep in the area until they drop a special item that you use to spawn the NM instantly, already claimed as your own so no one can steal from you.

How dare someone get gear without going through them first! The nerve!
