Yoshi-P, please consider this Myth cap suggestion...

I was reading the latest post you wrote concerning projected changes for 2.1 and noticed that you commented about raising the Mythology cap to "around 450". I beg of you to consider going a little higher and make that new cap a 500 point maximum. With all of the additional ways to earn Myth being instituted on top of the current best methods, hitting 500 a week would assuredly not be a major hurdle for most of the player base, casual included.

The reason why 500 is such an important number is that it would allow folks who achieve cap each the week the opportunity to purchase a 495 piece of AF2 at worst once a week, not a bad reward for capping. With so many folks leveling alternate jobs, this would allow them to also better gear those alternates, which in turn creates greater flexibility and usefulness for players who have taken the time to level those additional jobs. I believe it is a win-win for everyone, players and developers alike.

As you can see, this is my first post to the forums, though I read them everyday and have been playing since beta. I just felt that this was too important of a topic to say nothing and wanted to express my thought.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion and I am very much looking forward to 2.1 and beyond! :D

Nah, the myth tokens already makes it easy enough to farm ilv 90 gear. Being able to afford a piece like the gloves, boots, head within one week would just be stupid.

You'd have people fully kitted out within a month or so.

I already said no right?

yep i dont agree to this either. its already too easy to grind for gear in this game. we dont need anymore "elites" whining about how there is no content in this game.

you give them something and they want even more >.>

go farm allagan instead

it's already a reasonable increase, not to mention the myth gear is supposed to supplement gear drops from Dungeon content, in which case 2.1 will introduce more gear.

also, what Grembo said, getting the best gear via spamming easy dungeons is already a very generous move.

Thanks for all of the feedback so far, even if it doesn't vibe with my suggestion... Sephirah that gif made me LOL hard! I figured if nothing else, this would also allow me to gauge community interest or lack thereof. Please do continue to comment folks on why you think it should or shouldn't happen. I appreciate it!

I suggest cap be set to 449 so we get more nerd rage on the forum when players are 2 short of getting their +1 relic :p

Personally I see no need to raise the cap even further.
They are already doing those who asked for a raise a favor by granting that wish.

And I think that the fact that you need to wait at least one week to obtain a piece makes it more special. Instant gratification is not always a good thing.

I think what they should do is make the cap similar to the way leve allowances work.

For example I am allowed to get 300 more mythology each week, but if I fail to acquire 300 mythology in one week, and instead I only got 100, when it resets again I would now be able to acquire 500 mythology that week (300 for the current week, plus the 200 that i missed from the previous week). Allow it to build up to the cap of 2000 total mythology that you can possess at one time.

This way everyone's progression is still capped per week, but the casual people who don't have as much time to play don't lose out if they just couldn't log in one week.

Currently a set of iLv90 gear from the vendor costs:

Head - 495
Chest - 825
Hands - 495
Legs - 825
Feet - 495
Total - 3135

Waist - 375
Ear - 375
Neck - 375
Ring - 375
Total - 1500

Relic+1: 900

So to gear 1 Job in full iLv90 (less 1 ring obviously) without ever setting foot in Coils, would take 5535/300=19 weeks = 5 months. This is very reasonable as this gear will be top-class for 2 patches; there are no higher iLv gear until 2.2, which should come within 6 months time.

With thte cap raised to 450, that reduces the time to gear your first class to 13 weeks, which means even new players who ding 50 just before 2.1 hits, will be able to have a full set of iLv90 (less 1 ring obviously) by the time 2.2 hits.

If you want to gear up any faster, you need to run Binding Coils.

If it makes you feel better, 3 weeks of capping with allow you to replace the chest/head combo that so many classes after to deal with 1350 tomes to purchase the 1320 tomes worth for both the chest and the head. It even allows you to miss exactly 1 WP. Keeps you nice round numbers there as well.

I like it the way it is and now its getting a buff.

I made a thread about trading iLVL items or even trading some primal or DL for philo. That's about it

Its like, SE is giving you their hand, but you want to take the whole arm.
It'll just be stupid making it even MORE easier to obtain myth pieces.

No. I disagree.

My suggestion is NO CAP AT ALL! In a game where you can level every class/job cap makes no sense at all. Make myth tome harder to get but if you're good enough why be forced to be the same as the not so good? Is this some kind of communism in game? Like we are all the same? NO WE ARE NOT!

Enjoy gearing all your characters within one night. Then complain there's no content in the game, that it's boring, etc.

Yeah. No.

I don't get why other players can't even cap their weekly myth.

1-2 WP runs a day should cap it already. And I don't think running 2 WPs a day is too much or smth like what others are pertaining to.

I honestly would rather it stay at 300 and allow you to collect on each job alone. 5 months per job (shorter for jobs that share) isn't bad at all for free top tier gear. Throw in the new i80 gear and more people doing Coil... Lots of ways to obtain gear for lots of classes. Keep you much busier than current where at best you're really only able to gear 2 jobs, but most likely just 1.

This change reduces all bodies, pants and weapon upgrades from 3 weeks to 2, around every other armor purchase from 2 weeks to 1, and all accessories from 2 weeks to 1. keep in mind that as soon as this change is made, crystal tower will be avialable which will supplement your gear quest with upgrades to your darklight and will help you be more able to play multiple jobs in coil and other content.

so when is the 2.1 patch starting?

Might make enemies here but I am happy that there is a cap
I can play around 10 hours a week and I get the same number of myth seal as people who play 50+ hours
If there was no cap I would be left behind, like I was during most of 1.0 (where I was spending my time struggling to reach my LS level who started the game before me)

Honestly I wish they kept the cap at 300 why make it easy for everyone to get ilvl 90 gear easy for everyone. Give them an inch they want a yard.

So you're not left behind! Weeh!

But now hold on a minute. What do you actually need that i90 gear for? Looking at your achievements you don't have a single Coil exploration achievement, which suggests that you didn't put much effort into going there. Considering that's the only place that gear actually is needed, why is it so important that you're not "left behind"?

Trying to get a team to get there... only completed turn 1

450 is already way higher than it should be increased to. Be grateful.

I think it should be 375, it's already too easy to get ilvl90 gear.
