Syrcus Tower is 1 tank, 2 healer, 5 dps per party

Does anyone have any guesses about the whole gear/tome/oil/sand?

Meaning, obviously we know the gear is 1 piece per week. They've confirmed that. But, in regard to the tomestone/oil/sand, is that something you will need/greed or is it something randomly distributed to a player. Furthermore, if you need a sand of time, does that disqualify you from an actual piece of gear?

Again, no one knows at this point, but any educated guesses?

Based on various sources (translations from non-official sources) combined with the Q/A thread, UAT, oil and sand will eventually drop from Syrcus Tower at 30% drop rate.
And oil/sand will NOT be in there from 2.3, but will gradually be added over time... Chances are UAT will be there from start sharing loot lockout with the gear that drops in there.
That would allow people to get the Weathered weapons.
My guess is that oil will be next (for accessory upgrades) in 2.35 and sand in 2.38.

My guess is also that it will be an extra chest at the last boss that is shared over the full alliance.

I guess that would be pretty cool if they did that. I know some of the soldiery weapons seem great, others seem pretty horrid (scholar Book of Diamonds, I'm looking at you). That would definitely help people like me (who love playing different jobs) from having to Atma/Animus/Novus every single weapon. Once or twice, I can do, but 5 times, no thank you. =)

Should definitely help keep the DPS whining down

Tomes you would get everytime you finish the raid
About oil and sand, I think it would be like with the furnishing mat before 2.2. A chance that there would be a extra chest at the end and picking up the item would count to the weekly item lockout.

They're talking about unidentified Tomestones. Not Myth/Soldiery.
