Yoshida hasn't decided bards have gotten gud enough.

raidweapon is same ilvl as job weapon this time it seems. tough need to clear A4 to get a i210 weapon either way. seems allagan stone is gone for weapons and can buy it without any restriction on i200. very good change. makes saving stones for 3 weeks worth it since raid weapons only drop on A4.

you need 16 weeks of clearing all 4 turns to get all the gear and weapon from savage. that is if rng doesnt drop you ANYTHING in that time frame. considering new raid is in about 6-7 months from now and most groups will need 2-3 months to fully clear this seems very well balanced.

You really are fooling yourself if you think WM will ever be deleted. So get real cause it never will be.

What I would like to know, Who ever thought having mirror skills/classes in this way makes me question how they do game design balance. We should have many play styles for all people to enjoy, not cookie cutter stuff. Whatever, Just keep making a fuss, and one day it could get changed. ^_^ but at the same time, SE has lied about what bards are so many times that I do lose hope on them knowing what they are doing.

Awww, well.....poopie! /sulk

Oh look...my rank 44 butt can get that -was- 45 sword now! >_>+

where do we get our DoH new gears?

So, the Dragoon changes werent exactly clear, did they just remove the positional from it and up the potency to 200?

You still have to hit from the right spot if you want the 290 potency.
But the base potency has been doubled.

No..potency is the same when hit from the right area, but only 200 anywhere else.

I know it doesn't increase their max dps, but I still find it funny one of the few classes to be buffed is the one that already does the most dps in the game.

No, they did not remove the positional. They buffed the non-positional potency from 100 to 200, but the positional potency remains unchanged (meaning it's still 290 potency if used from the correct positional). It's pretty clear, actually.

Good to know :3
I didnt have an issue with it to begin with, but I'm all for the extra potency dmg if I mess it up! :P

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[2.0] The PvP rank requirement for item level 100 and 110 PvP gear has been removed.

Meaning! Fluffy tails for EVERYONE!!

All crafted.
It's "blue" gear, can be HQ, and requires VERY hard to get materials

Mastercraft demimaterias and Fieldcraft demimaterias are the "easy" ones to get.
Each one needs 2 or 3 Land/Leaf/Sea borne aethersand from DoL Aetherial Reduction of max purity collectables.
And new materials which probably require stuff from Red scrips from both DoL and DoH.

And all new crafter and gatherer gear is class specific.

So the "cross class" 150 crafter gear we have will still be good for quite a while....
Huge grind to craft and meld for 8 crafting classes...
=x

All 2.0 again!

Ugh, I just realized. Esoteric gear is all 1 set per job.
The new DoH/DoL gear... 1 set per job...

Welp, there goes my inventory space XD

Indeed, except 2.0 crafts required very easy to get materials, even back then...

I would assume it is going to be from Alex Savage.

Illuminati Gobdip
An alchemical potion concocted in the dark laboratoriums of the Illuminati. Some of the realm's more daring blacksmiths have applied the unnaturally viscous substance to a variety of weapons and found that it heightens the attributes of certain ancient martial artifacts.

Illuminati Gobtwine
An alchemical thread woven in the dark laboratoriums of the Illuminati. Some of the realm's more daring weavers have applied the unnaturally pliable substance to a variety of vestments and found that it heightens the attributes of certain ancient martial artifacts.


Illuminati Gobcoat
An alchemical potion concocted in the dark laboratoriums of the Illuminati. Some of the realm's more daring goldsmiths have applied the unnaturally illuminated substance to a variety of gems and found that it heightens the attributes of certain ancient martial artifacts.



Since it has illuminati name, probably comes from Alex savage

More twines, coats and now...dip? Ewww.... we are stealing goblin's used chewing tobacco and putting on stuff? Gross... ; ;

I wonder if same stuff will be used on esoteric gear.... probably?

Oh and that means more hunts to farm them if you don't do savage or are bad at rolling on loot... .... .. yay?

Astro buffs looks nice. Kinda sad Ewer card will no longer help DRKs though.

As someone who doesn't really like the echo and nerfs done to coil, this is actually kinda bad. If the intention of introducion alex nm is to make 8 man 'raid' is to make it accessible, why would they put welfare tome gear upgrade in the savage raid? That's just asking for people to complain about accessibility all over again! I mean, hunt's bad but this is worse.

There being really no content where i200 gear upgrade mat can drop and is 'fitting' doesnt really help either. Alex nm? Doesnt seem right? Ravana ex? Doesnt even match.

They're goblins, so the dip is obviously cheese.

We stick our weapons in fondue to improve them.

The upgrade items will more than likely also be dropped in the new 24-man raid that comes in 3.1, which will be casual.

It says right in the patch notes that i200 upgrades are handled with a cost in esoterics. Unless, they mistyped something, that's how we buy the items.

"Players can only obtain 450 Allagan tomestones of esoterics per week, up to a maximum of 2000 tomestones.
Moreover, players can only receive Allagan tomestones of esoterics after reaching level 60 with at least one class or job.
* Speak with Hismena in Idyllshire (X:5 Y:5) to exchange Allagan tomestones of esoterics for gear.
* Speak with Seika in Idyllshire (X:6 Y:7) to enhance gear received in exchange for Allagan tomestones of esoterics."

Misread that. Looks like another 24 man 1 item/ wk farm. Considering how quickly gear supersedes itself in this game (Rav Ex and Alex Normal are now useless after 4 weeks), SE needs to seriously examine their itemization.

Think you're mistaking the esoteric upgrade items, with law upgrade items. You can now buy law upgrades with law tomes, only mention of esoteric upgrades was from gordian trade in items, which are gotten from Alexander Savage.

Spread - Can now be used outside of combat.

Astrologians rejoice! \^.^/

Sigh...

So once again crafting "endgame" is crafting crafting and gathering gear? Ugh... SE, please, for the love of god, just copy Final Fantasy XI... The Abjuration system in that game would be perfect for crafting here, easily adaptable too; We already have items to upgrade tomestone gear to the raid iLevel, just do the same thing for crafted gear. Take Illuminati Gobtwine and trade it in with your crafted Adamantite Pauldroncoat of Maiming (i180) to boost its iLevel to i210 and Spiritbond it to you. Done. That gives us three options for gearing at the max iLevel; Tomestones, Raids, and investing in crafted gear. I love crafting in this game, but I hate how essentially everything I make for DoW/DoM just boils down to a glamour piece in the end... I want to make gear I can use, not gear I can glamour on top of the actually useful gear...

They are nowhere near useless, unless you are already in full i190 gear.
Why is that? Because Eso and Savage gear will be SUPER slow!

The fact that Alex normal requires you to either run a floor four times or to have a prayer answered from RNGesus to get a single piece of what is probably just another piece of a complete item, makes the time investment vs. reward clearly biased against Alex. Furthermore why do Rav Ex (which I cleared about 18 times for idk why), when you can get an i200 weapon in eight days? The content is irrelevant to anyone with common sense and time-management savvy.

Because, in eight days, you can only have one weapon.
In one week, you can drop several weapons from Rav EX (In case you have multiple jobs at 60) and several loots from Alex Normal.

The changes to DRK are aws...wait a minute!

I don't understand this. I must have misread the patch note or misunderstood something.

The Savage tokens drop for you once per floor per week. Only once. You cannot farm it. It will take 8 weeks of clearing 4th floor Savage to get you the weapon, unless it drops for you before that, in which case the best outcome is to to clear to 4th floor today and get your weapon today.

Or is the iLv200 not the Savage weapon? I didn't look into the iLvs in the list of newly added items.

Won't be 8 days but 3 weeks or let's say 15 days(remember 450/week and the weapon costs 990 eso). i200 is esoterics with an upgrade item to 210. 210 is savage direct and yeah takes 8 clears.
