Where is the myth gear going?

There are new items called "Antique Armor lalala" which people suspect to drop in dungeons. Idea is that you can then turn those antiques for the i90 AF2 gear while the accessories will drop directly in the dungeons since they are not class tied. People who theorized this can be wrong though.

I think they'll continue being sold by the Hunt Billmaster.

The Myth set isn't AF2, it's Myth gear. AF2 is coming in 3.0 (you can see the DRG AF2 set in the teaser trailer).
AF2 will look different than AF1. Myth gear is a simple recolor of AF with enhanced stats, so it's more akin to AF+ (which is what it was originally called).

According to the preliminary patch notes for 2.4, i90 gear will be removed from the Hunt Billmasters and replaced with i100 gear. i90 will likely be added to dungeons (since they are i80 difficulty) just like how the i70 tome gear was added to the i60 difficulty dungeons.

I wasn't thinking they were going to move them from the billmaster... ? I mean, that npc doesn't even really have anything to do with myth.

Well that's just confusing. "Myth" gear, as you call it, has all of the restrictions of AF gear, looks like AF gear, and is stronger in all the same places as AF gear. What could it possibly be other than AF gear and why should it not be treated with the same respect as AF gear? I mean, you don't see i45 AF gear being dropped from DD or AV, do you?

I don't see what's confusing about it at all. AF gear has lore behind it in the class quests. Myth gear does not.

Job Specific gear dropping in dungeons will be very much useless. Maybe they will still be on the Mor Dhona NPC but now with Soldiery?

Each special gear set in this game has lore behind it.

Right, the myth sets as a whole had lore behind them, but the AF gear was individualized per job quest. Iunno, my point was it would seem weird to have them drop in AV and such. I mean, the SCH job quest had you recreating garments from old designs. Why would you get that as a dungeon drop? Myth gear otoh was always obtainable from Rowena's shop, so I guess that doesn't bug me as much to have it as dungeon drops.

I've never minded the dungeon drops cause what I don't use for glamour I just turn in for seals.
