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

again, CT was not originally meant for glamour. it was there for progression. It wasnt supposed to come out as late as it did. it was meant to be in game from the start. so no, CT is not always going to be for glamour.

CT is still behind the curve though. For CT to be relevant it needs to be released at the same time as Coil and the new tome items if it wants to actually fulfill the function it's billed for.

For all we know, it might very well have i105 stuff.

at 100 it will still be behind. 10 below max current ilvl. hell, because its coming so late, most will already have left side ilvl100, so it will turn into a gearing alts all over again anyway.

Yoshida is going to be troll us all removing mithos and making CT2 drop AF iLVL 90 plus craft materials and iLVL 80 gears.

Just kidding. Whatever they'll make, it will have to be useful somehow otherwise people will abandon it in few weeks and focus on COIL2. won't they?

[Kaze3434]

well, nay-sayers have been told
Q18: Are there any plans to make it easier for us to obtain the sands/oil of time?

A18: You will be able obtain them in the new Crystal Tower dungeon in patch 2.3. Instead of increasing the drop rate, we want to increase the location of where the item can be obtained from.

Fantastic. That's one way to keep CT 2 relevant for awhile.

Crystal Tower just got a little more badass.

What I'm really happy about is that CT will relevant longer. A lot of player thought the next part would be face roll content with ilvl95 rewards. Even though they didn't say what ilvl I would assume 105, Since they are letting us get upgrade items. Also assume its one item per week, one piece of gear or one upgrade item.

early on CT2 is going to be very relevant. every party would run it at least 8 times so everyone can get sand/oil, and then sup any other gear from coil2.

I forsee many weeks of CT grinding for oil/sand. CURSE YOU INEVITABLE WEEKLY LOOTING LOCKOUTS
