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

[SirTaint]

If sands/oils are part of the one week lockout the gear better be damn good or it will be a weekly lotfest to upgrade sol gear to 110.

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.

Actually that's why they did the soldiery gear this way this time since CT is behind. CT allows you to upgrade your main job to i110, and gear you alt jobs up to (assuming i100) The tuned coil for a lower lvl instead of a higher one and did 2 stage gear.

Seriously. Unless Sands/Oil are rare drops and/or not on the weekly lockout list, expect lots of people to downright pass over the actual gear in favor of Sands/Oils unless the gear that drops in CT is ALSO i110, which I highly doubt.

Having oils/sands in CT sort of devalues the work we been doing in the 2nd coil. Only can hope they are a rare drop like mirrors so SE just isn't handing out top tier 110 gear.

So if oils and sands are confirmed for CT2 doesn't that mean trolling will be twice as bad as to how desperate ppl will be on rolling for the 2 items. Last time i remembered, you could join in progress right after you get kicked to be able to most likely rejoin your group again.
It better not drop like the baby opo opo cuz having it sent straight into someone's inventory is kinda demoralizing.

Let's hope it's not a rare drop / unlimited roll item. That would mean people would go -so- crazy with farming CT, which might be what SE wants... but it'll demoralize a lot of players if it's like Levi's mirror x.x

We're only going to be able to get one per week anyways..... It will be like the way they did dimension blade fragment, You either get a piece of gear for the week or that. So I doubt the 2nd part will be much different. So people don't need to get to excited and think that it will be obtain as many upgrade items as you want. It's going to be one piece of gear or one upgrade item per week. At least now there is an alternative way to obtain them will help out a lot.

I think an excellent way to handle the Sand/Oil drops would have them be on their own loot lockout, separate from whatever other gear drops in CT2.
So you'd have 1 piece of CT2 gear per week, and the final boss could have a guaranteed drop of either 1 Sand or 1 Oil that would be it's own lockout.

As opposed to coil1 gear when you could spend tomes for the same exact ilvl??

I do coil2 weekly but locking the top gear behind one event is a silly business plan.

[Lunavi]

I feel like 105 would be a bit too strong from CT2. Stronger than weathered gear that can take 2 weeks for a single piece of armor is a bit... well, I'm sure it'd be a bit of a whiplash

That's why I kinda think i95 will be more reasonable, or at best i100.

Yeah, because it would be such a powercreep if CT was relevant for obtaining gear for once. It is not like that at the release of 2.3 most people will have full iLvl 100 or close to it already.
