- Raid bosses will always drop some type of reward - somewhere around 2~3 rare drops per party, random lotted. Even if one didn't get the rare drop, the players will be rewarded with tokens which you can then exchange for rare drops. In exchange, the chances to participate in the random lottery will be limited to 3 times per week. (Stanislaw's notes: The text in the interview here isn't really clear. What I'm assuming this means is that the chance to get that 2~3 rare drops is limited to 3 times per week, but one can still get tokens by trying the content over and over again. On the other hand, this can easily mean the return of horrid re-entry times.)
,,,
got this from another thread. can someone please clarify the translation? does this mean players can loot a max of 3 items from a raid boss per week? maybe its a loss in translation somewhere ...
if this is true how does this cater to the endgame players? we just get our three jobs then stop playing till the next week then rinse and repeat? hopefully im wrong here.

It seems like you will have three items a week but say you get your three items you can still do the raids to get tokens which you can then when you have enough trade in for rare items. So there will still be a reason to do raids even if you used up your loots for the week.

It sounds like you'll be able to do the run 3 times a week. If you get lucky, you can get an item from the 2-3 that drop off the boss, or you can just save up tokens you earn otherwise to spend on the gear you want.
This is a much better plan than the current "spam stuff with no loot, but at least we only have to wait 15 minutes" nonsense we have now. -

The way i understand it, (based on the translation), you'll be able to participate in rolling, 3x a week per dungeon. So for example if a melee item drops then u can choose to roll on it or pass depending on whether u want the item or not and you'll only be allowed to roll on three items within a week.(this is my opinion in regards to how it might work) Others have speculated that items would automatically drop randomly three times, i honestly hope this is not the case since this is one of the issues with the current version; where you would do primal runs get weapons u can't use or pass, or doubles that end up dropping to the floor. In a game where your allowed to level every class, a system side random lottery is the worst possible route they can take in regards to loot.
Does anyone have the untranslated JP version of this specific question? -

Current system sounds better.

I'm more worried about the reentry times and the tokens as they're going to be related somehow.
If a dungeon has a 20 hour lockout on reentry then maybe you'll only need 20 totems for an item but if that dungeon has a short reentry timer. 15 mins or something it's highly likely you'll need 200 tokens or something. which in the end still means a mass spam fest.
I honestly prefer longer lockouts for this reason. I hope arr is a bit more refreshing than spamming a dungeon 8-10 times a night. -
10-14-2012, 10:05 AMSkinwalkerI think the Doc got it right. The reenter time could be 72 hrs so you can only do the dungeon/instnace 3 times per week. Which I like.Quote:
