Level cap raise soon?~

So this is the second time iv seen mention of 50+. But this is WAY more significant, here is link!~ Take note on some of the levels http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...Id=&rtgt=1&p=2


Credit goes to Reinheart for the find

Could just be that a rank 47 crafter needs to craft stuff higher than his/her level to reach rank 50.

I doubt the level cap will be raised anytime soon, but this is certainly preparation for it.

Hey! They made new models for some of the items! Finally! Level cap probably won't increase this patch but probably at 1.2 or 1.21.

*looks at cobalt cuirass*
*it has shoulder pads*
*** YEAH.

I've noticed for some recipes that there are only a few color variations, while others seem to list much more. I'm hoping that they aren't restricting colors for certain gear and just didn't list every variation available... not a major thing, but I'd like the option to dye craftable gear whatever I want.

Woooo thread 17! =D

I like the new models! but one thing i cant seem to figure out is how the ringbands would look like. >.>

I really don't buy the "preparation" angle. What other game has put in items for ranks you can't reach yet? Wouldn't they have been better off leaving those items out until the level cap raise? It would make more sense to me if they had spent that time developing gear we can actually use.

That does seem weird to me, but it makes sense. The gear itself may not have level requirements of 50+ and nor does the craft require to be that level in order to make them. It sounds to me like they are making it a bit easier to xp on synths from 40-50.

Huh? The gear itself is below 50, you can find Colbat gear info in Yoshi's posts. And you can craft/repair anything 10 lvs above you. So a level 47 can do all 50-57's and may even make an attempt at 60, a 50 can even do it also, provides them some challenging synths.

Why do we need 10 threads on this?

You could always craft stuff higher than your current level. This 51-60 stuff doesn't indicate a level cap raise.

My theory on all this, which makes alot of sense, is that making some recipes higher then the cap will add a challenge to crafting the high end gear

right now, since you can craft everything at rank 41....some people dont see the incentive to go to 50 cuz they dont need to be 50 to make stuff

add in 51+ recipes, and that incentive shows up real quick(and it adds a bit of risk to making stuff)

exactly why i stopped at 40, cuse i can repair everything! though i might finish it off for the new armours.

if they raise the cap before the game is done they would be stupid and it would take off some of the games life span.

Gotta use 'em level cap raises effectively. Simply doing it for the sake of having a level cap raise would be dumbzorg.

Oh, i wonder, by that logic, whether they will open up Blue Fog and such ^^

Was wondering the same thing

There wouldn't be much point in raising the cap if there wasn't new end game content.

so Mabey they are requiring a higher rank on gear that is rank 50, but deemed more desirable gear.

The levels on the synth site is for the recipes, not the gear
it's like this:
http://ffxiv.yg.com/item/lantern-shield?id=4100401

Gear level < recipe level

slightly OT, but man that red armor looks good! I want some!

pretty much

a peice of rank 50 gear that requires rank 45 to synth may not be as good as a rank 50 gear that is a level 55 synth(but can be done earlier, just harder to succeed)

I highly doubt they're even considering raising the level cap at this point. They don't even have enough content for the current level ranges, why would they add more?

Well, considering yoshi p mentioned grade 6 materia in one of his posts.... I think you are all crazy.

Well, a year has gone by and we are still level 50.
I'm pleased about that though since i grinded my brain into mush from crafting that far.
I also watched about 200 anime series while i did.
Yoshi has indicated that they are still undecided about whether or not to raise the cap at 2.0
Will they? I'd be just fine if they didn't.

i would think they'll raise it after FFXIV:RR get settled in and working for a bit to keep new people first then come to us old players. and when they add the stuff comming after the launch. we might have archnist on launch to level which might turn into summoner as job.

Oh lol, now he has entire server to necro his threads, haha. Fair enough. Have fun.

There are screenshots from ARR that depicts EXP into level 50.

Stop necroposting.

NNNNN-Necro!

Though, I do love in the new screenshots he is level 50 and has 57 exp into his level. That must mean more levels or we can finally cap our xp!
