Another possible method For AF 1.5 Gear ( Allagan Pieces)?

[Tupsi]

This would destroy the crafting market for high level gear (vanya, darksteel, etc) ....

Quite honestly? Good. SE messed up by making certain materials quite.."odd" to obtain as is and we already know crafting is taking a backseat for the most part this early on. Currently majority of quests and all dungeons drop coins so it would not only drive up prices (we know how greedy people get when they can rip someone off) it wouldn't "kill" the market on the crafted ones as it would be more expensive to get the Allagan pieces than the crafted pieces since them making WP more viable to run floored prices on the tome mats as is (thus further bringing said items down, i.e vanya and rose gold stuff and etc.) unless Ragnarok is impervious to content spammers.

So basically, this is just a run-around the myth cap.

Got it.

Wait, why not just farm dungeons for AF1.5? It's effectively the same stats as Allagan.

And what's the point of running Coil when all of it's rewards can gained via grinding WP and AK?

Aren't people complaining about how boring it is to grind those dungeons?

Anything that has a "Grind" that you constantly " Repeat", is boring. That's why there needs to be some mix up so it's not " 1 dungeon does all"

As much as I want AF 1.5 I am not grinding 1 dungeon to get it tomes. ( Most people prefer AK) and personally will not torture myself to such a spammy grind. Same things goes with FATEs, After I got to 38 ARN I realized that FATEs or getting boring and it seems to do the same things over and over. So now I am only doing Dungeons/Hunting Log/Leves to grind to 50.

agreed. I think the market for crafted end game gear is destroyed already. It takes nearly as much or MORE grinding to make a crafted piece of gear that's crappier then the grinded gear. Then you have to have a geared up lvl 50 crafter to actually make it (even more grinding). then you have to pentameld for it to actually be good, which requires even more (materia grinding) or tons of gil. 10 times to work for something that's still not as good overall in the end. They really screwed crafters on this.
