AF+1 Costs WAY Too Much

[Alhanelem]

I'd like to also add at this point, it isn't "AF +1", it's relic armor.

If it was +1, the names would have +1 in them, like the relic weapon +1s.

AF2 is more simple than AF+1 :P

the problem is that tomes are only farmed in 1 dungeon....40 at time until 300 cap ><

It's also a relaunch

It may be a relaunch but they had to re-do just about every aspect of the game. They obviously couldn't launch a content if it wasn't finished yet (like crystal tower). You mention reintroducing but looking over the pre-patch notes all I'm seeing are extreme modes and Moogle, both of which will be changed from original concepts I'm sure. We're getting 2 hardmodes of dungeons already launched, Wolve's Den, Pharos Sirius, Crystal Tower, housing, beastmen daily quests, hardmode boss battles, treasure hunting and a feature of random matchup for duty finder which also gives tomes if you use it. A lot of that they wanted for launch but it wasn't finished yet. The fact that they did as much as they did for launch in the short amount of time they had is actually pretty impressive. Do I wish there was more? Of course. But I'm being realistic in not expecting the world from SE who was spread thin to begin with on this team.

It's not the difficulty of the content that's holding you back - it's an artificial restriction being used solely as a stopgap to give the developers time to play catch-up with the hardcore crowd.

While I don't like artificial restrictions and caps myself, I have yet to come up with a way other than obscene difficulty to keep Content Locusts at bay. The actual hardcore crowd would stick around and keep doing things, such as get more of their FC and LS geared up, but even they run out of things to do eventually even if they take it upon themselves to fully gear a whole server.

It comes back to a fundamental problem of entertainment, it takes far longer to create it than it does for people to experience it. And if you have a solution for this problem, I am sure SE would love to hear it.

Ignorant babble Don't you want something in game that takes time, effort, and feels like an actual accomplishment when you get it?

Those are called education, careers, jobs and families. Google them sometime!

Who has time for that stuff?! I have to get AF2 if i want to get into Bahamut's coil or whatever have you.

Don't care about how long it takes.

ONLY care about what I have to do to get it. We all look to 2.1 as that patch that will deliver us from this evil that is farming AK until we hit 300 cap and then zzzz the rest of the week.

You don't really need the AF+1, do you ?

Hello,

While it might take some time to procure all of the job-specific equipment using Allagan Tomestones of Mythology, we plan on slowly easing the cost of these items as we introduce new content in the future.

what about people who already spent their tokens for higher?

avg 60 min AK at 70% success rate + 30 mins of DF wait

I lost interest at this line.
