Still limited to only 1 crystalloid per week from V12 while all of savage is unlocked with the tome cap doubled. Why?
Edit:
This is the first time this expac they've done this. Both in Deltascape & Sigmascape, the weekly limit on crystalloids were lifted at the same time the limits on Savage were. I'd like them to inform us why they chose this, lowkey hoping it was overlooked and will be addressed in the next hotfix patch.

They should get rid of the limit for Orbonne Monastery too.

Good and valid question that is summarily ignored by the devs.
-
03-29-2019, 08:47 AMValkyrie_LennethBecause the devs can't answer questions immediately after being posted. You have to wait for it to get picked up by the community team if they think it's a worthwhile question, translated, sent over, answered, retranslated, and then posted. Even if you do get an answer, it'll take a day or two.Quote:

As to the question, because savage is still limited by skill, and has mostly run its course. It's been like this every expansion if I remember right. The final 24man will be unlocked likely in 4.57 or 3.58 when they add the weapon upgrade item. -

They want you to attempt Savage with the 10% nerf. Upgrade items are infinite from there - including the weapon upgrade. Seiryu EX are decent weapons still and no turn-in for the mount yet as they desperately try to keep it relevant.
3 or so months left, they'll probably slowly uncap the rest later. Perhaps the last patch which is just "various adjustments." Tomes are still only for un-upgraded gear and is still locked so Orbonne gear is still locked and having the coin unlocked would remove a Savage incentive. Crafted gear, etc.
People hate Eureka but you can get tome quality gear without the weekly lock from there, too if you do the work. Elemental gear is up to 390 but quite a lot of grind if you haven't touched it at all. I thought they would have nerfed Pagos again by now but nope.
They open Savage first because they know not a lot of people will do it, slowing gear farming than if they just opened up Orbonne and the floodgates. -

03-29-2019, 09:34 AMValkyrie_LennethOh I'm aware of that. Hence why I said IF they decide to forward the question on. Se does visit the forums fairly often, its just the English forums are usually full of about 20 duplicate topics at a time, and thoughts are so scattered any response at all would likely be ignored.Quote:

03-30-2019, 05:34 AMVaerIt's somewhat to keep Seiryu EX relevant. (free season weapons - adding a easy to get 390 weapon would reduce incentive) If you check the ending of Heavensward, they removed the gear (equivalent to the crystalloids) the same way. I personally am neutral about it, since that is the only thing keeping normal from dying off completely I see why they did it. At least they dropped the number from 7 to 4 way early this time. The military grade tome also drops from O10s as the full thing. Going by the timeline here this is about 2-3 weeks away unless they are stretching this to 4.58 which would add about another month.Quote:
