Please reconsider ilvl 60 drops

[BalthierLove]

You can't satisfy everyone Square Enix, just remember this.

have they stated what iLvl is the gear from the HM dungeons?

Yes, the latest live letter said both Pharos Sirius and the new hardmode dungeons will drop ilvl 60 gear. It's unfortunate to have so many sources of ilvl 60 when you're automatically getting tokens for ilvl 70 gear from the same encounters. The drops are already obsolete before they even get rolled on.

Yeah, I know. I mean if I was a brand new 50 I'd be able to go buy DL for every slot as soon as I did just one of these dungeons. It's not like it would take me 3-4 runs just to get the points to buy an upgrade for one slot. In fact, I'd just let those 60 pieces rot instead of even rolling on them. After all, it's not like I have to do these dungeons more for tomes to buy items for the slots I haven't upgrade with Darklight yet.

As a player who has geared two jobs in Darklight, I am completely, totally pissed-off and furious that the new dungeon and the two hardmodes are item level 60.

WHY? We already have Amdapor Keep. Why are these dungeons still that easy?

What the hell, Squee? Hardmodes are supposed to be HARD, not "oh, AK with the scenery changed."

TBH, we should have gotten Pharos Sirius at ilvl70, and the two hardmodes at ilvl80. Don't even get me started on how badly you completely screwed Crystal Tower.

CopperBell Mines and Haukkuk Manor HM dungeons drop i60 gear? i think i missed that, i thought they only drop crafting materials for i60+ 1-2 star crafts. Also AK only drops i60 gear, and its likely PS will only drop i60 weapons making no overlap in obtaining i60 gear before you switch to i70 Primal + i70 DL.

Problem is how Crystal Tower's i80 gear drop will overlap gear from i60-i70, when the min requirement is i55. Making a shit ton of i55 fresh out of WP, to be ready for coil bypassing the need to farm for gear and tombs from AK-PS.

Here's the quote you missed:

Q49: Will there be rewards that can only be obtained from the hard-mode dungeons? If so, what item level will they be?

A49: Yes. They will be item level 60.

They have a simultaneous drop & token system at ilvl 90, so it's really disappointing that they won't do it for ilvl 70 as well.

[Estellios]

You know having them drop i60 weapons would actually be really nice, it would give us more ways people can get weapons that are decent enough for Titan while working on gearing up for it, instead of doing ifrit/garuda several times for the small stone reward as a consolation if you aren't lucky enough for your weapon to drop.

[Zumi]

The objective of Pharos Sirius is to give you more options for getting myth.

hardmodes drop ilvl60? Really?

Normal modes drop Ilvl 60.... What was the logic on that...

SE got their stuff all twisted. If Crystal Tower had come out on schedule there would be il 80 in game already and they could make hard mode dungeons drop ilvl 70 because replacing darklight would be no big deal.

But CT is coming out late and they don't want to ruin darklight...

Why not just make hard mode dungeons il 70 and make darklight il 75 and crystal tower il 80 and bcb il 90 with an il 95 wep on twintantia and leave af 1.5 alone.

Who is SE making these changes for? The 50% sub base that already got bored and quit?

I wasn't aware that normal Copperbell Mines and Haukke Manor drop ilvl 60 items. I must have missed those with the tomestones they give.
