armory system useless? Mythology Cap

[Alcyon_Densetsu]

The issue I have with caps being job restricted rather than character restricted is that currently to get my 300 myth, I can do WP/AK/CM/Praet/Primals etc as Bard or White Mage. Eventually I plan to have a Paladin at 50 be able to do AK/WP as well. As needed for better group make up and to switch things around. But I'm collecting my myth just for my Bard. I go to coil only as Bard. Bard is my main. Restricting it to jobs will force me to do my 10 WP runs a week only on bard. I will have to find specific groups and I will have to play just my bard. I don't really care to get myth for WHM or PLD right now, but I want to play them in WP/AK. But if I do that with job capped myth, then I'm not helping my Bard. Which is the appealing thing about the armoury system to me.

I hear you. But I think there's way we could have a per-job cap and at the same time allow you to freely earn these tomes in a number of scenarios.

In another MMORPG there is a reputation system (you get reputation points by doing "stuff"). There are several reputations. When you do a dungeon, any dungeon, you get reputation points, and you're allowed to choose which of these reputations you want your points to go towards.

So consider this: in our case, you would be able to select "BRD" so that, no matter which class you play, no matter which dungeon you run, all the tomes earned would count towards your BRD cap (tomes that you could only use to buy BRD gear, obviously; they could be called "Mythology Tomes of the Bard"). When that cap reaches 300 (maxed), you'd then be able to get tomes for another job (again, 300 max for a given job, never more per week, for instance up to 300 "Mythology Tomes of the Paladin"), until the weekly reset happens and you can get back to earning tomes for your BRD.

Wouldn't that be nice?
