Will Savage Alexander have a raid lockout?

Yoshi-P mentioned in the past I can't remember when that Alexander would work like CT. You could continue to raid the content but only get one piece of gear. He didn't specify whether or not this applied to savage as well. Or maybe he did. Can anyone provide a link or info showing if this has been answered yet?

loot lockout only. not runs though

live letter july 10th.

Normal is like CT, but no word on Savage yet.

I wish this was made clear. I'd rather not level up an alt to 60 to raid more than once a week if I could

They made it pretty clear that normal mode you could go back and help your friends but savage you can't, at least not right away. Pretty much the same as coil. You can beat it once a week, and get random loot.

When did they make it "Clear" this only applied to normals. Do you have a link to this when they said it?

They haven't made it clear. For more info see my previous post or try reading the loadstone where its on the first page.

Last I heard Alexander (Normal) will have loot lockout, like how CT was when first released. And for Savage I believe they said they would let us know in the upcoming LL how Loot in Savage will work.

I wonder if it will have tokens too. It was a surprise to see them in ex primals runs. It would be neat so I don't have to spam each turn of Alexander for like 20 times to get 'em.

I'm not really worried about how the loot will work at the moment as much as I am worried about how the lockout will work. I want to be able to play with more than 1 group to help friends without having to level up an alt to do it.

I recall them saying that Savage lockout will be like how Coil used to be before it got added to DF. Can't re-enter encounters you've already beaten that week.

Do you happen to have a source for this?

I hope it isn't outright locked out.

Why? Because at present I am bored.

-No relic weapon for 3.0 yet, sort of disspaointing and I was excited for it
-No new tomestones for yet another 2 weeks
-Current law gear I have fully geared out SMN and SCH in i179. What is there left to grind? Ravana? There are so few PF groups/people that beat Bismark EX that this is a joke to me. (That is ignoring the fact I'd literally be grinding Ravana for a weapon with 3 more magic damage and like 3 mind more than the current i180 law weapon which has a buttload of piety on it so can be argued to be better for new raids like Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

-Oh and let me not forget / leave out my machinist has been proven to be a total flop and gets me and others kicked from parties.


SOOOOOOOOOOOO I really hope it isn't locked out or they add the relic weapon or SOMETHING. SOMETHING PLEASE. Adding Alex but having it locked out is... eugh.

Alex normal is pretty much confirmed to have no lockout. Alex Savage is where we don't know for certain. Thats why i'm hoping to find out. I'm crossing my fingers and praying to the Community SE team in hopes that maybe they can respond or clarify on this! More than just "July 10th".

Hmm, thought I read it somewhere recently and this is always what someone's answer was when someone asks in an LS "Is Alexander Savage gonna have a lockout?" Well anyway, sadly we'll just have to wait until the 10th :(

If your doing alex savage id get the 190 wpn 3 magic damage is huge. If not the 180 wpn is prob already overkill.

Even still you would probably be better off getting 190 weapon now. There is a chance Alexander NM won't have a weapon.

the fact we dont know much about savage loot or lockout systems concerns me alot. why are they still hiding such an information? thats not really a spoiler. it would just be a relief to be free from the terror of weekly rng. the fact that they are so silent yet about it could mean they put RNG again and are trying to hide something. i hope i am wrong tough. that would really kill my will to raid again.

From what I read a while back:

• Alexander NM will be between CT and Coil in mechanical difficulty.
• Alexander NM will have a CT style weekly loot lock per "turn." You will be able to run all turns as many times as you want, but will only be able to take one piece per "turn" per week.
• Alexander HM/Savage will be harder than CoB.
• Loot/Run lock out is unknown.

From what I remember them saying that normal is like old CT. Run as much as you want tell you get item.
Savage is like coil it's locked out but you get a token for a clear.
Two type of tokens I think I seen.
Two type for accesories, and of the other type for armor.
So if you are unlucky in drops at less you working to that gear with tokens.

I'd do anything for them to make it not have a lockout .. seriously. I really do not want a lock out

There's info about Alexander right here on this forum. It's incomplete, but they've said they won't give full details until the modes unlock.

You can find info about Alexander Normal here:

Not much is confirmed for Savage. They have spoken of possibly allowing groups to practice specific phases of fights.

You can find the full interview with that comment here (2nd answer):

Things change during development, so who knows exactly how Normal and Savage will function. I think right now the safe guess is to think of Normal = Crystal Tower and Savage = Final Coil.

any new info them the Japan Expo?

I seem to remember this:
Alex NM will be like CT but will drop tokens per turn and it would take so many tokens to get a piece of gear. I think also there are two types of tokens one for accessories and one type for left side pieces.
Alex Savage I think will drop gear normally and have the lockout to extend out the content and make people keep running it.

The loot part I understand. I'm only worried about whether not I can re-enter Savage in the same week while on the same character, after having killed bosses.

any new info out yet?
