Level cap raise soon?~

So this is the second time iv seen mention of 50+. But this is WAY more significant, here is link!~ Take note on some of the levels http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...Id=&rtgt=1&p=2


Credit goes to Reinheart for the find

Could just be that a rank 47 crafter needs to craft stuff higher than his/her level to reach rank 50.

I doubt the level cap will be raised anytime soon, but this is certainly preparation for it.

Hey! They made new models for some of the items! Finally! Level cap probably won't increase this patch but probably at 1.2 or 1.21.

*looks at cobalt cuirass*
*it has shoulder pads*
*** YEAH.

I've noticed for some recipes that there are only a few color variations, while others seem to list much more. I'm hoping that they aren't restricting colors for certain gear and just didn't list every variation available... not a major thing, but I'd like the option to dye craftable gear whatever I want.

Woooo thread 17! =D

I like the new models! but one thing i cant seem to figure out is how the ringbands would look like. >.>

I really don't buy the "preparation" angle. What other game has put in items for ranks you can't reach yet? Wouldn't they have been better off leaving those items out until the level cap raise? It would make more sense to me if they had spent that time developing gear we can actually use.

That does seem weird to me, but it makes sense. The gear itself may not have level requirements of 50+ and nor does the craft require to be that level in order to make them. It sounds to me like they are making it a bit easier to xp on synths from 40-50.

Huh? The gear itself is below 50, you can find Colbat gear info in Yoshi's posts. And you can craft/repair anything 10 lvs above you. So a level 47 can do all 50-57's and may even make an attempt at 60, a 50 can even do it also, provides them some challenging synths.

Why do we need 10 threads on this?
