    This is from the latest Live Letter (I bolded the text that will prevent people from spamming to get gear):

    Q: Will progress be recorded in the Crystal Tower the same way as in the Binding Coil?

    A: Progress will not be recorded. However, we'll be updating the Crystal Tower every other patch just like the Binding Coil of Bahamut, and you'll need to clear the Labyrinth of the Ancients that is to be implemented in patch 2.1 in order to take on the next phase in patch 2.3. The areas we implement in patch 2.1 will not have mid-way progress points, so you'll be able to challenge this dungeon without restriction. However, there is a limitation when it comes to receiving gear drops, and once you cast lots and obtain an item, your rights to lot gear will be lost. Once the timer for lotting resets you'll be able to lot on drops again.

    "cast lots and obtain"... So will most of this gear be 'All Classes' and not have a 'Need' roll?

    Well, I can't really answer that question since they haven't provided any actually information.

    The only two options I see are:
    1. Getting a piece of gear from Crystal Tower is character locked (Example: You can only get loot once in CT regardless of job, have to wait until reset to get another peice).
    2. Getting a piece of gear from Crystal Tower is job locked (Example: You can only get loot once per job you join CT with, if you want more switch jobs or wait for reset)

    Which do you think SE is going to do based on the previous content that's in place? Probably option 1.

    As for timer reset? Probably a week like coil, but honestly no one knows since they haven't provided any information on this. They'll either mention it in the next Live Letter on the 12/14 or on the actually release details when the patch hits (believe it's 12/17, someone can correct me on that.).
