Soldiery ?

That, or they may just add lv100 soldiery gear to the loot table of dungeons that already drop lv100 gear.

Remember that the very same dungeons that drop darklight (lv70 "blue" gear previously purchased with Tomes of Philosophy) also drop lv70 "green" gear.

this, they're more likely to get moved into teh level 51 dungeon and they're already available through hunting, this isnt' the first time they've done away with tomes, there's a new kind every 6 months and the lowest value one disappears. Its really nothing new.

The part that's new is that they're removing the lower value tomes from everyone but only allowing the newer replacement for certain players and not others. (Tomestones of Law come from the Heavensward expansion.) Given that there's an expansion involved this time, I was expecting (and hoping) that they'd keep Soldiery and Poetics unchanged but limited to the ARR regions, while Law and Esoterics were for the HW regions.

Poetic is the new Soldiery.

Poetic - need a lv50+ job to earn it - lv 50 / ilevel 120 equip
Law - need a lv60 job to earn it - lv 60 / ilevel 170 equip
Esoteric (weekly capped, come 4 weeks after release ingame) - need a lv60 job to ean it - lv 60 / ilevel ??? equip

That's why I said they're removing the lower value tomes from everyone but only allowing the newer replacement for certain players. Law and Esoteric are exclusive to Heavensward and not available to ARR players. ARR players are going from having both Soldiery and Poetics to only Poetics and nothing else.

Most people are going to have this expansion. For everyone else, there's masterca-- err. But no, I'm sure they'll offer soldiery gear in other ways (currently it's available with allied seals as well). I read somewhere that quest rewards will be enough to meet ilvl requirements so that new/return players can more easily catch up and jump into Heavensward. Regardless, I'm sure that there will be a rather large increase to poetics tome drops (aside from just the roulette changes... I'm wondering if high level roulette will still give 100 poetics for people who don't have a level 60? I may not have read closely enough.)
