Weapon drops will need to be adjusted for new jobs/classes

[Pyretta_Blaze]

You can always buy a crafted weapon if you don't have drop luck.

Indeed there are crafted options as well as the darklight weapons that come out of WP. Honestly though the GC weapons aren't incredibly gimp compared to the Ifrit stuff anyway.

I think I need to find 7 other people and do a Titan using GC weapons with AF/some DL run just to see.

Greetings,

Compared to the primal drop system from 1.0, with the current game you are guaranteed a drop when defeating a primal. The difficulty has also been adjusted with this in mind. Based on this concept, we decided to eliminate the totem exchange system and we do not have any plans to allow exchanges in the future.

As we do not have any plans to use totems or other exchangeable items from primals moving forward, we encourage you to exchange them for Allagan tomestones of philosophy.

We appreciate your feedback for when new jobs are introduced and subsequently if more weapons are added as rewards for primal battles. We do not have information we can share on this at the moment but we'll be sure to keep your concerns in mind when planning ahead.

Wow, neat. I didn't think a rep would respond to the post, but I'll gladly take it. If they're keeping this in mind as new classes/jobs are introduced, I'm sure they'll figure something out that works for everyone.

This game is all about rng, I would say even more so that WoW. More class the higher the chance something drops that no one needs.

I'm hoping for a vendor in the future that may allow you to trade in Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy once the Primal Hardmode fight is cleared. Although, this may also obsolete the two star weapon recipes that we have now.

the lot system is not bad. In 1.0 it took me 57 kills on ifrit before I saw even 1 weapon and it was for cnj, it wasn't until the 70th something kill did I get my bow and my 80th-something that I got my axe. PLUS we had to farm 5 drops in between to enter AND go back to grid to get a new ki AND run all the way back to the node to enter the fight. Same with Garuda and the Good King Moogle Mog. You wanna talk about how bad it is now? HAHA its fantastic nowadays. Heck even the difficulty of the fights are nothing compared to what they used to be.

Oh, maybe they can make it so that only loot for 8 classes drops in any given raid. If there are 8 different classes in the raid, those are the 8 classes. If there aren't, the game uses the highest level alt classes of the party members to fill in the extra slots.

It's a little work, but you can't cheese it by making a raid of 8 of the same job and it will prevent having to roll against loot for 20+ different classes (if the number ever gets that high).

Or when we have twice as many available classes, they could just add a 2nd box
