Q: Is the item level for the equipment from the Second Coil of Bahamut and the equipment that you can purchase with Allagan tomestones of soldiery the same?
A: Strictly speaking, the item level of equipment that can be purchased with Allagan tomestones of soldiery and equipment that drops directly from the Second Coil of Bahamut is different. In patch 2.0 and 2.1, the equipment from the Binding Coil of Bahamut and the equipment you could obtain with Allagan tomestones of mythology were exactly the same, and I think this detracted from players’ motivation. This time around we've prepared something a little different, so they won't necessarily be equal. As I mentioned earlier, we’ve prepared three main ways to increase your item level, and regardless of which route you take you’ll be able to achieve the same item level in the end. The system has seen some adjustments with this patch, so we encourage you to give it a try.


"we’ve prepared three main ways to increase your item level, and regardless of which route you take you’ll be able to achieve the same item level in the end"

So are they saying getting all tome gear which is i100 will some how equal the same ilvl of the 110 allagan gear?

Tome gear can be upgraded to i110. Weathered Noct Lorica --> Noct Lorica, for example.

Well He said "three main ways" But he doesn't specifically say what three sets. All I know is we have High Allagan ilvl110 and Weathered Gear ilvl100 which is upgraded to ilvl110, so I assume that is three ways to obtain gear? Although both sets involve doing CoB. So there are only two ways in the end to get max ilvl110 gear and that is from doing Coils.


EDIT
But thinking about it, he does say "Regardless of which route you take in the end, it will be the same item level" So that should mean there are 3 different sets of gear to get you to ilvl110. Weathered and the upgrade version shouldn't be counted as two because the end result is from the same base piece of gear. So where is the other set of ilvl110 gear?

Could be CT2, having prepared it doesn't mean they released it.

what yoshi said is that players will have 3 ways to upgrade ilvl100 gear to 110 , atm the only way to upgrade gear is coil,but we will have 2 ways later on (2.3?) maybe CT drops or a new trial (Battle on the bridge HM/EXT), or a weekly quest (like primal ext weapons)

Sadly... We only have these 3 ways. SE just messed up horribly the things (or the translation isn't accurate)

1) Drops. Or Coil. The only way we have now

2) tokens. We don't have it yet. Waiting 2.25/2.3 to see if they keep their promise

3) timesink. The relic is like that, but isn't iL110 at the moment. Though it will upgrade further in 2.25 and 2.3 so we'll see in time
