Patch 3.05

[Peekachu33]

The upgrade items will more than likely also be dropped in the new 24-man raid that comes in 3.1, which will be casual.

It says right in the patch notes that i200 upgrades are handled with a cost in esoterics. Unless, they mistyped something, that's how we buy the items.

"Players can only obtain 450 Allagan tomestones of esoterics per week, up to a maximum of 2000 tomestones.
Moreover, players can only receive Allagan tomestones of esoterics after reaching level 60 with at least one class or job.
* Speak with Hismena in Idyllshire (X:5 Y:5) to exchange Allagan tomestones of esoterics for gear.
* Speak with Seika in Idyllshire (X:6 Y:7) to enhance gear received in exchange for Allagan tomestones of esoterics."

Misread that. Looks like another 24 man 1 item/ wk farm. Considering how quickly gear supersedes itself in this game (Rav Ex and Alex Normal are now useless after 4 weeks), SE needs to seriously examine their itemization.
