CT Part 2 and gear - will it just be i100 at this point?

[HaelseMikiro]

My expectation is also that CT2 gear will be ilvl 100, but IF they finally iron out pre-made alliances and get them functioning, then it's also possible that we could see CT2 being more difficult/rewarding than Second Coil. Do I expect this? No. Is it possible, yes.

And +1 to CT2 dropping Oils/Sands. An 8 man static in Second Coil with multiple people gearing out alt jobs in soldiery gear will NEVER get enough sands/oils (2@/week if clearing T9) just from Second Coil

First off.. ct1 came in late.. it was supposed to serve a COMPLETELY different purpose than what it ended up doing. with the way this game has a vertical gear lv progression.. I would think the gear.. IF ANY GEAR it could surprise us what ct2 drops... will be at LEAST 100 but I would bet on 110 or even 115 120... with most of us playing the game having most if not all 50s it will not make bc2 or weathered obsolete for a LONG time.. even if they removed the cap for all raid gear.. would still take months to gear all those jobs to 110+... especially if the new ct gear is job specific.. I also think the novus/weathered upgrades will see some kind of appearance

The chances that CT will offer better gear than Coil2 is abysmally slim. Also the population of players with all 50s is rather small as well.

i disagree since imo weather gear is the new darklight so CT gear needs to be better. plus its gonna be AF2 i wouldnt be surprised if its 110

By comparison myth gear would be the new darklight. Ilvl100 or Ilvl105 would still be better than ilvl90. If they make CT2 ilvl110 they will completely invalidate the new coils. Where are you readin about af2 from the next CT floors?

One drop per week does not invalidate coil2. I don't believe it will be i110 but it would give the game a huge boost. There has to be a second path to i110 outside of coil whether it's CT or not.

I'm fine with i100 gear if they make pieces worth owning. Most of the i100 soldiery gear is trash due to skill speed.

Then have the final boss of CT have a small chance to drop oils/sands in addition to the bosses droping sub i110 gear (though greater then i90). But flat out giving CT gear i110 is ridiculous and unreasonable. Soldiery Gear starts at i100 for a reason, otherwise there would have been no point to not doing what SE did with Myth/Allagan.

[joshsecret]

i can only think of 2 ways the new ct can be.

1. going by the slot that the first ct fit into gear-wise, expect i95 gear and/or..

2. the new ct may drop sands/oils of time in order to bridge the gap for players that buy weathered but are unable or unlucky with coil2 (i really hope its this)

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

What if it doesn't drop any gear, but instead allows you to upgrade CT1 gear to the speculated ilevels discussed so far?
