Should CT have dropped lvl75 items?

I notice that CT is by far and wide the most popular instance now, in both PF and general chats. Judging by its ease of clearing, I have to wonder if the rewards are too high. If the gear was scaled down to lvl 75, (making it slightly better than Darklight), then this seems a little more appropriate.

Considering this is easier than Pharos Sirus/Copperbell in my opinion which drops 60 item.

No. This is the perfect in-between upgrade for DL and then Myth/Allagan. And with a loot-lockout it is not easy to obtain a full-set.

If it's popular, it's because it probably drops 200 philo stones and 50 myth stones, so people like to spam it for that as well.

Pretty much what he said. The fact you can only get 1 piece a week is a big enough nerf.

for ilvl 80 drops all you have to deal with in CT is "in-progress" fishers, newbs/noobs who can't co ordinate in boss fights, unstable servers, trolls and SE's legendary RNG. I think ilvl 80 is appropriate given the circumstances.

The gear may be i80, but the itemization on many pieces leaves a lot to be desired. For example, there's not a single point of accuracy on the entire Crimson (BLM/SMN) set. I think it's fine as is.

Maybe you should have another look at the body.

The constant displays of immaturity and no lifeness among members of your alliance as they spout bad strategies, screw up, then blame each other, makes it totally justifiable it as a level 80 source.

the entire tanking set has 0 accuracy too, don't know what they were smojing if they tried to make this a "stepping stone" instance?

I work on my main job myth gear, Work on my 2nd job CT work on my 3rd job Dark light.


Also with different sets of gear gives different jobs for the people that play numbers.

No ACC on this item doesn't matter if you already hit acc cap.

What I do not like is the moving from DL to CT equipment sets.

Take most DL body gear or pant set. They come inbuilt with headgear or boots. Now CT gear is all 1 piece by 1 piece. To replace 1 DL gear, you need 2 CT gear. Thus, lets say you got body this week. You need to wait a whole week and then next week grind like crazy for the companion gear...

Of cause I could just equip my ilvl60 gear on the companion slot, but ... that depends, DL often still are better. Thus you got a gear that is now sitting in inventory, while you wait for lock out to reset, so that next week you can grind a extremely specific gear piece.

The lack of accuracy on many (but by no means all) the CT pieces isn't a big deal. You don't need accuracy gear for first two turns of coil.

This isn't supposed to be gear for Turns 4-5.

It's a good way of gearing an alt for flexibility for lower turns. By now you could have 4/5 drops for one job, including body and legs which each take two weeks to save up the myth for the AF+1.

I have the tank leg pieces sitting in my bags for next weeks reset and hopefully getting the boots. As PLD my 2nd main class, Myth are going on BRD. Albeit I caved and bought the Myth PLD hat when i got the tank chest from CT. Wouldnt be so bad if ilvl 70 crafted gear was seperates. But no, It's the *censored* same >.<

Bards missing silence on ADS would like to have a word with you.

In the time of 4 weeks you can completely deck out multiple jobs on the same character in DL gear. In the same amount of time you can only get 4 CT items.

Long story short: no, it's fine the way it is.

Good purchase though as the tank head slot is T5 I think. :-(
