[Interview] Zodiak weapons, Philo removal, 3.0 and more

[Teirshin]

So, let me see if I have this right....

Philo tomes are going bye bye and the gear from them is being moved into HM dungeons?

Myth tomes are still going to come out of CT and we'll use those to buy Myth gear off a vendor still? That table says i90 is out of Bahamut now, but thats Myth level gear.... I dont want to be running Coil for my Myth sets....

I guess I"m confused just a tad on the whole thing and I cant find a single post anywhere yet that clarifies it for me.

I'm one of those who is so far behind in getting my Myth sets that at present, thats the thing that concerns me most. I could care less about upgrading my relics really.

Yes, Darklight gears will be become drops in the three new 2.2 dungeons. Rowena will no longer carry them.

Myth will become the new philo (i.e. the lowest tier tome). Rowena will continue to trade myth/AF+1 gear (ilvl90 gear) for myth tomes, which will now be farmable due to the removed weekly cap. Coil Turn 1-5 will also continue to drop ilvl90 allagan gear, which should also become farmable due to the removed lockout.

Once we're a few weeks in, ilvl90 gear will basically become what DL gear is now: minimum gear for tackling the newest high-end contents.

coil drops a different ilvl 90 set
myth gear won't change, and myth will most likely be easier to get

Ok this makes more sense then I guess....

I'd be happy to have Myth like Philo is now so i can get the Dragoon Myth set just for RP/Looks. As it is, I couldnt justify the Myth for it since I'm a healer and prefer to stay that way.

Thanks all!
