Tomestone of Law

[KarstenS]

I must be mistaken. I probably got this wrong idea when he said that AlexN and AlexH item level gap will be larger than anything in 2.x.

What doesn't mean, it must be directly at the start It sounded more like its getting wider and wider the more you step forward in it.

Whatever the case is, I'm actually NOT looking forward to another gear treadmill. I really hope that they look at the expansion as an opportunity to expand sideways instead of merely upwards. With each new item almost indistinguishable from anything else of the same level, there's very little variety beyond 'getting a higher tier'. A far removal from many other games which have a distinct amount of variety in each tier.

And no, I don't merely mean fashion. I'm talking statistics. Whether you choose spell speed over crit or accuracy over skill speed, what real difference does it make at the end of the day? A few points of DPS here, a few points of healing there. We need real differences. FFXI had the right idea with its equipment, and they need to take a leaf out of its book.

Yay more tomestones for another 2 years or so.
Wtf. I swear it better not be a weekly cap thing.

It already is confirmed. Lower tier token with a current holdings cap and no weekly cap, and a higher tier token with weekly cap.

Really? I thought this is what it really is.

UGH! Now I want pizza, thanks, and stuck at work.

The 2 new tomes will replace our our tomes regardless if you have the expansion or not. Idk why people can't grasp the fact that anything added to the game, is also added to the core game. Sure they can't get gear from expansion areas but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to equip it. Unless for whatever wants to keep the current tomes, (which would be pretty pointless and a waste of UI space/clutter) Everyone will have access to the new tomes.

What makes you so sure Poetics will be removed entirely? They're used for obtaining level 50 gear, while Law and Esoterics are presumably meant for level 60. So it would make sense to keep Poetics around to account for the item level spike at 50.

[Arkista]

TL;DR anything, so idk if this was said.


I'm willing to bet these ToL will be used to buy the new AF gear for level 60, don't know the ilvl on those. But They did say ToL are uncapped from the start for EA/3.0 and the ToE would be capped.

This. SE really needs to do something gear wise. Getting burnt out on having to get BiS only from two ends.

The developers already confirmed in a live letter that both soldiery and poetics will be gone by the time Heavensward is available.

I'm almost certain this is what it really is.



Those rouges in that photo look like they could benefit from Tomestones of Erotics.

They might not understand the Philosophy; maybe they will think it all part of Mythology. But at the end of the day, their Soldiery can be very Poetic with a bit of an illusion...

Which live letter?
