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

[Kaze3434]

Upgraded sol = the alternative
2nd coil = new coil / top gear

upgraded sol gear is not an "alternative". seeing as how the stats and ilvl are just as good, if not better in spots than Coil2 gear, and the only way to get said upgrade is to do Coil2. the only way to make CT2 mean anything is to have the gear be ilvl100, and/or have ways to get something worth while, like people have said; either droping of an UID Tome, or sand/oil. the sand/oil is a bit much imo because that will speed up the gearing process for people doing Coil2 and CT2, but if its just the UID tome, then the only thing that they would be able to get/upgrade is a weapon, while being able to get gear from the dungeon itself.

Anything that ties to coil loot drops should remain in coil.
Why would CT drop it? It may help with gearing but will it help really in the long run. If we could "over" gear coil without even stepping into coil.
(I.e gearing up in myth and achieving mostly i90 without even touching coil)
If sands and oils dropped in ct2 then
We\\\\'ll just upgrade our tome gear/ weps and bam faceroll the stat portion of 2nd coil, do we really want it to end up like that?

CT1 was mostly for alts and vanity,
Just like how ct2 will be for alts and vanity lol!

Yea I'm gonna say 100 aswell. Coil2 and the upgraded armor Are both 110. So why would they make ct part 2 95 ? So i100 would only make sense. And seeing out it's probably gonna be weekly drops like how ct was then yeah

no, it wasnt. it turned out that way because it was released late. the gear progression was supposed to be darklight, ct,myth/allagan.

ilvl 110 loot in CT2? I would not make sense unless CT2 is as hard as Coil2, and I doubt it will be, since I expect a "casual" triple full parties dungeon. I would rather bet on ilvl95~100. It might also drop something else than armor pieces such as for example: jewelries.

Well se has it all messed up with CT and coil. Always releasing CT after a new installment of coil.
Should be CT-> coil -> CT
Not
Coil -> CT -> coil -> CT
So imo i100 will only be plausible if they decide to make more oil/ sand drops.

[Nekodar]

i95 gear would be pointless to have drop in CT2.

Excluding the possibility of oil/sand/unidentified or accessories, i100 gear is the most likely to drop, with i70 average being required to enter.

It's certainly not going to cater to hardcores wanting a challenge on the level of, or exceeding, second coil.
People will just have to live with the fact that CT is intended for the masses while coil is intended for the people seeking a challenge, even if that's not what was originally planned.

[Zephyranthes]

I'd place my bet to ilvl 95.

it seems like you are ignoring the fact that the first ct was late. because of that one fact, it kind of has to stay with ct coming after coil. as many have said, the only way to make ct2 relevant is i100, and possible tome/sand/oil.
