Job Specific Equipment

I've just finished reading the Patch note and although I can see that new items have been added for Job Specific Gear, I couldn't tell if its quested, crafted, obtainable from dungeons?

Can anyone enlighten me?

Doesn't look like it's mentioned. I would assume they're obtainable through the new raids.

I have a hunch the Dungeons, that I would like. Or the quests, i hope not craftable... As my guess they be rare/ex ?

Stated they come from a quest starting at Level 45. (If you're referring to the AF rather than say PLD/GLA stuff, which looks like Raid drops/coffers.)

Af is most likely to be questes from the item level requirements... Dungeons will only drop Lvl 50 gear. Af is lvl 40-50.

"The system starts at level 30 and features a sequence of special quests available at certain levels that unlock systems, abilities, and job-specific equipment"

That's all the information we really can confirm until we play.

A french dev said that they won't be available until you reach level 45, which fits with dungeons.

Datminers go! (tonight =)

Or with the Job quest that requires you to be at 45. There's 5 skills and 6 quests so...

I'm kind of glad they didn't tell us exactly what or how to get them. People will find out eventually

it's prolly quested. I hope so >.<

Quest

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post535926

Regarding the jobs specific equipments, these will be gained through lvl45+ quests. These will be obtained for sure at the end of those quests (poeple were wondering if there would be a drop rate like primal weapons), and there is currently no plan to add crafted jobs specific equipments.

so to be a full PLD you have to do 10 quest.....oh man.

Oh no! SE isn't handing us everything for once! They actually created CONTENT. Something we've been complaining about the lack of since the dawn of time.

I always assumed through quest, as this would make sense. And the R50 gear for jobs drop from dungeons.

They should allow us to upgrade these AF through more quest when we level higher than 50.

There is only 6 Jobquests for each job

from this letter http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...IV-(01-30-2012)

Acquiring "job name" artifact armor "To take the form of quests incorporating exploration and battle"

"Addition of monsters for each job (including NPC battles)" those are different from the raid bosses

so anything related to jobs are under the new job content.

will it be like AF3 quest in ffxi where you had to fight a NM

everything so far leads to the fact that the quests are soloable but who knows

am good as long as there is no "wait 3 days in game and comeback to me" "kill 100 monster with this sword"..etc

Maat was soloable

Please no... Maybe the first few pieces. But the best piece or two should at least require a light party.

At least a light party?

If it's not scaled, and we don't have any scaled content atm, it would mean that you could cheese through with a full group if light party is enough.

I'd rather have a (really) challenging solo fight than a fight where the difficulty resides in getting a group together.

I agree tho that they could limit the number of participants to 4, like they do for some quests or for Toto-Rak.

But from what we've seen it seems that you need to be the corresponding job to do the quest (at least for the abilities), so if it's a light party, it would have to be a party of people all the same job.

a fights designed specifically for each class to solo (but not easy) would be really cool but i doubt it lol.

Beat me to it while I was editing my post lol.

Well we know that for the abilities quest, you need to play the corresponding job. If they do the same for the armor, then it may make little sense to form a group of, say dragoons, but yeah it could be very cool actually

I don't see the point in force grouping to get your basic AF pieces. But, my preference for light party content would be for it to acquire materials for upgrading AF to +1 or +2. to me that is more sensible.

Maat was just worn out from beating the shit out of all of Shadow Lord's troops. Solo.

hopefully not through rais as i will never be able to do them.
They should be rewardable or craftable . but for those playing alone and not having that chance.. it would be as fair that they would not be dropped at raids unless i can solo raid :D

I hope its not from the new raids...I would hate for their main purpose to be for the AF...then once acquiring it basically leaving little to no point to doing them again...no replay value. Hoping they come from quests involving other stuff. But who knows? o.o

I certainly hope I cannot solo my job quests and solo getting all the JSE. The jobs are for party play and I am hoping that something along the way damn well requires a party!

Well that's a pretty good point actually, did not see it that way. In theory you're getting your job for party play so if you never pt what's the point of getting through it. I mean, that's how it was thought.

However, Jobs will have to severely alter solo play for me to still play a class after that patch, and so far, it does not seem so bad.

well what i think is you will get a skill for initially unlocking the job then a skill for each quest after that then the 6th and final quest you get the armor

Partiers do not need specific equipment.. they are strong because " they are in party" and support each other
The real heroes are those that walk alone and take down anything alone without any support from someone else ;) , so we solo players need the gear to get stronger as that is the only support we can rely on :D

Depends if there's actually skill in the way they make you solo or not. If it's really like, auto attack this mob for 20 seconds solo, then no I hope it's a tough monster requiring party dynamics :(

Im sure some will be quest some will e settlements some will be Dungeons, would make a lot of sense to do it that way

As long as its not party only drops i dont mind .
I too would have a chance to dress in pally gear and not being a high level pally with old crappy leather stuff on my butt lol

Coffer AFs!!!! :O haha I will laugh it there is
