So, yeah Jewelry. Can you switch it for Vitality?

A lot of people, probably not just me have strength jewelry. Can I trade it for Vitality Jewelry? I spent awhile getting it, winning roles for the tokens and buying strength jewelry because it was the best. Refund?

This has never happened in a game, but when revamps like this happened in "other" games, developers usually refund the tokens.

Lol. Just...lol

Go start farming and saving. You have 3 more weeks of Tomes and A1S clears before the patch.

For me? I have all the Fending accessories from A1S, 14 or 16 A1S pages, a few good Diadem Fending Accessories, two ESO Fending accs, and extra Eso just sitting around.

Should have seen this coming when they announced tank changes a month or so ago.

Players have been saving and buying STR accessories for longer than that.

The gear will be replaced completely soon after the change anyway, as well. Run Midas floor 1 NM a few times, get some 'bolts', done.

Also, it'll be a lot easier to get gear when Esos are uncapped.

So? 3.2 is also brings a new tier of gear. Your 210 will be useless soon enough with 220/230 gear replacing it.

And I have even more STR acc than VIT acc, on top of a full set of melded accessories (can I get a refund for the millions of gil I sunk into them? No, that's silly you say?). I also planned ahead and grabbed any VIT acc that dropped from A1S and kept the good Diadem VIT acc that dropped.

This.
Worst case scenario, you can always wait for Patch 3.2 proper in order to either:

A) Farm (the newly uncapped) Esoteric tomes for the VIT accessories.

OR

B) Farm the new capped tomes for the VIT accessories (non-optimal, but the choice is there).

No, I really didn't "see" the changes.

I wouldn't mind it if it affected "Everyone" however just tanks makes it a biased change. Should be refunded.

The whole problem with it in general when you say things like "just go replace" or should have saved up, is that FF is one of the few games where you can play all classes on a single toon, but then restrict your ability to acquire the gear to actually make them useful so much that it is just mind blowing. One piece of gear from void ark, 450 eso per week = about 1 gear piece for a class. Those are the only two things outside of spamming diadem hoping for a good 210 piece to drop that you can get for ALL your classes (Which is current level gear, alex no longer counts as current). Two pieces of gear, for how many classes...12. Sorry, but telling people that even a month ago they should have started saving, is completely ridiculous.

They're introducing it on a patch where ilvls are essentially being equalized for a reason.

Farm a set on patch day when Esos don't have a cap. Do some A1S when it's off lockout. Getting a VIT set won't take longer than a few hours.

Another "brilliant" thread by Nektulos.

There will be whole new gear at the time so it doesn't matter.

If you've been playing since HW released, *and* raiding, you have more than 210 to gear up multiple jobs. And a good amount of 200 from Void Ark and whatever ESO you couldn't upgrade.

I have my tanks, NIN, DRG, and MNK all at i208 or better. Healers and casters are over i200 (don't care about them though), and I haven't leveled BRD or MCH to 60.

Also, we're talking accessories here, including A1S ones. You should be able to *easily* get at least 3 of the 5 you need if you start now.

If you haven't noticed SE is not like other companies.

You need to calm down, rarely do I see you like anything in this game.

Proves that whatever the devs do SOMEONE will complain about it, I guess

To be fair, there is a lot to complain about.

This is just ridiculous frankly. People just blindly follow what was the so-called "meta" without thinking and now complain about refunds or trade-ins?

I have full VIT gear and stats and never had any problems with any content. If I wanted to dps I went on my NIN.
You have only yourself to blame for following everyone else off the trinity cliff.

There is no "blindly" following, it was better.

Its only ridiculous because the problem isn't affecting you. If it was you would be angry too.

When something is better, you do it. You know, to be the best you can.

The issue is, they said specifically you need VIT for the new content. It says it right in the post.

That is why I'm asking for trade-ins.

I wouldn't mind it if they removed everyones gear, but since it only affects people who wanted to be the best at their classes its silly.

emmm nope, SE says allways fending is for tanks, the loot sistem says you can roll only for fending gear, the game inself is designe for tanks using fending, if players find a weaknes in the sistem making tanks with slaysing more useful and effective is another question, you can't claim nothing to SE and devs, anyway they say "whe go to implement changes in damage calculator for tanks for make fending the 1º choise again" months ago, and whe have 3 weeks to farm fending if you dont have none.

Nah, I'm pretty sure you can earn them again.

They're warning you ahead of time for a reason. Go get them yourself.

If you honestly walk into 3.2 without i210 Fending, then SE has no obligation to refund you for your stupidity.

If its such a big deal to you, get four bolts from A1 and trade them in for Fending accessories. Get the last one via one week's worth of Esoterics. That will last you until 3.2.

Your current gear is going to be outdated in less than a month and you're going to be replacing them anyway, never mind the fact that Eso's are going to be uncapped anyway. It is really not as big a deal as you are making it out to be.

How is it that anyone on the planet hasn't been letting fending accessories hit the floor for months now? You didn't roll on them back in December?

^^^^^^^^^
This, so much this.

All the tears from the OP here puzzle me, did you not get use of that STR gear YOU elected to acquire? If you did, then in what world do you think you deserve a free hand out? Good grief...

Considering if you haven't used your tomes for this week yet already, you can replace 4 of 5 right pieces before the patch arrives. Which then there will be new tomes to start replacing your gear you already have.

Fending gear that locks to tanks only has both STR and VIT.

I don't think it'll be unlocked...(aka think week 1.)

Also, dude. You have nearly a month to get fending accessories to 210. Stop complaining zzz..

I've had a full set of i210 vit and i210 str for a while now.
Not only that, ilvl will be increasing with the patch so I doubt this will be much of an issue. Just go buy the vit stuff with the next set of tomestones.

HW has been out for so long that most tanks already have full set of 210 vit and str acc. It won't tank long to get vit accessories if you don't have them and you got like a month to do it. They will get replaced anyway with 3.2 so does it really matter that much. They aren't going to waste dev time programming some trade in str for vit function.

you are still able to buy 3 vit accessories before patch (4 if you have 150 esos from this week leftover).
That, and the fact that VA provides a plentiful of Gobcoats.

In 3.2, where the change happen, you will farm new tomes anyway to get the new tome accessories.

two things; none of your characters save one have tank at 60, and you are pretty much the only person on these forums that continues to make increasingly "strange" requests. you have 3 weeks to get whatever acc you want before the patch hits. also, you "not seeing" was pretty much you being willfully ignorant.

SE gave a heads up(albeit vaguely) last year...

Also here are 2 points
1. damage effect of STR will not get removed, but only reduced
2. new crafted gears will have a ilevel high enough to be raid starting gear

So, the best will be to buy highest crafted vit accessories, bring the vit on cap with materias and then add str materias to them (because str will still do some dmg)

Patch is in 4 weeks. 4 weeks enough to farm enough eso for jewellery and VA for upgrades. /thread

Who are you even talking about and within what subject?
All context to your complaint seems entirely lost.
