SE, please remove crafting mats from main boss chests.

Nothing screams accomplishment after beating a boss like getting two flasks of water.

Square Enix, please remove these crafting materials from main boss chests and put them into the side chests that contain all of those useless potions, ethers and elixirs. Getting an entire set of the new gear from these dungeons is like finding a needle in a haystack at this point.

I understand that this gear will be mostly used for vanity at this point since mythology is so easy to come by, but come on, at least make the main boss chests drop gear and not materials that sell for pennies.

Are you not refreshed?

Stay hydrated while running dungeons

As much as I hate the crafting drops. The two replies above me literally made my night.

Yeah, getting mostly Filtered Water in Tam-Tara HM was really awful.

First boss: Cuffs of the Divine Light - Nice :)
Second Boss: Filtered Water x2 - Oh :/
Final Boss: Filtered Water - Urgh >:I

its probably yoshi-p's new dungeon slogan : "Please drink forward to it"


but to go with the topic, sometimes mets are nice like hardened sap and peacock ore, but filters water and void sent blood are so common thanks to these dungeons they have dropped from a decent price to below selling at NPC price (at least on blaming)

Whenever I run one of the new dungeons I'm happy just getting a gear drop never-mind what class it's for! Better than getting some water/blood/minium....

i think the real problem is that youre playing on something with a screen that size

My freecompany mates were complaining about this the other day when we were running the new dungeons and trying to get some drops for a healer who was new to being 50. Ran the whole dungeon and we got one gear item to drop on the final boss.. I get it the greens aren't that grand but why make new gear sets that could be good stats to a new 50 if they will never drop or the odds of them dropping against the crafting mats .. The extra chests can drop the mats by all means.

Eh, some of us actually want the crafting mats more.

Then make them drop from the multitude of stray x-potion/x-ether/hi-elixir chests instead. I'm pretty sure nobody will miss those.

they didnt bother to even give us new mat.

also wtf is with ur UI size? looks like when i was playing on my 480 size TV back in the day
on my ps3. looks awful. lord help you. XD

Considering how many topics have come up related to this, I really hope Square Enix takes notice.

This is just in the Dungeons and General Discussion forums, btw, and only going back a few pages. Might be more in other forums.

Put the mats in the potions chests and everybody wins.

Perfect screenshot. "Infuriated" LOL

Is that PS3 on a 4:3 television with the UI elements turned up to 180% or what?

It looks like it's mostly the chat box that's really oversized. That setup makes sense if they're visually impaired. i've had a few friends who had to do that whenever possible because even with corrective lenses they had a hard time reading text on a screen.

The TV i was playing this on at the time was not 100% equipped (480p) hence the screen size. I have a better rig to play it but I couldn't use it at the time. I didn't really care because I could still play, and it looks a little bit better than the screenshot makes it out to be.
