Another 450 weekly cap again! >< I hope gear is the same price as LAW.

[Peekachu33]

Wrong.

Those items are purchased with tokens you obtained from Alex Savage. Pls read patch notes.

Yes, I reread that. Looks like it's a Savage or 24 man raid upgrade path, yet again. I think Law upgrades are now done with Law (to alleviate Hunting fatigue). That's where the confusion came in.

[Ultimatecalibur]

In the patch notes it says that i200 upgrades are purchased with esoterics. I'm assuming those are the items you buy. Either way, it's an esoterics cost, the item is irrelevant.

You mean this line?

* Speak with Seika in Idyllshire (X:6 Y:7) to enhance gear received in exchange for Allagan tomestones of esoterics.

I'm parsing is as: Seika can enhance the gear that you (purchased from Hismena with tomestones of esoterics).
I can see how you possibly parsed it as "Seika can enhance the gear that you (purchased from Hismena) with (tomestones of esoterics)," but I suspect that you are wrong based on the discription of these items.

I dont care about this o___o (I cant even max to weekly 450 lol)
Time flys fast.. and boom the next set of gears show up, or an new expansion is released -> All gears trash again
Lv 115 gears cost now around 10k gil from Market board/NPC Shop, In before: we farmed for months the same 3 dungeons for those lv100 gears <,<

So I just focus on 1-2-3 jobs. Not upgrading all current jobs to have best gears.

i just checked the database. it seems the allagan tomestone is gone as a requirement for weapons as there is no new version of it. i exchange they added a weapon only upgrade item which can ONLY be gotten by clearing a4 savage FOUR TIMES. so the i210 weapons are ALL locked behind A4 clear. but the i200 will be available to anyone within 3 weeks of saving esos.

good change imo. gives the weekly stones a use on weapons. dont wanna be stuck with a ravana weapon till 3.1 since clearing A4 before then will be hard for most groups.

Why do people act so surprised. Did they really expect the game to be completely different because we got an expansion?
It's gonna work the same way as ARR did. Do a dungeon a day, catch some fishies, play another game/go say hi to the sun/read a book, and automatically get the best gear in the game, which you dont really need unless you are raiding or if the gear is really cute and you must have it.

Think most people were hoping we have a different way of obtaining these. Right now its the same crap all over again. I went back to FFXI a few months before heavensward cos the boredom of grinding killed my interest for this. Now its the same all over again.

This pretty much sums up the reaction to using the same formula all over again only this time its WORSE because u can only gear 1 job at a time unlike poetics when u could gear 2/3 jobs over time.

To me the real engame gear is trying to get Thavnairian. THAT is the real struggle. After that the rest doesn't matter imo.

[Ditto]

A 500 limit instead of 450 would have been nice. 450 is better than the ARR release 300, but it's still an annoying amount.

Though I guess it's SE that makes that amount annoying with the costs.

Looking at you 990 weapon

I honestly love it. For too long have I had to nerf my black mage so that my blm wouldnt look like a smn. Now I can play my 2 favourite jobs and they look different.
I wish it was like this every time they release new gear.
Ilvl isn't very important anyway so it doesn't matter if it takes time to gear up jobs. Can do raids to get good gear too!

Also I'd like to say to all of you who tells me having alts in this game is stupid, IN YOUR FACE I CAN FARM 450 X2 TOMES YOU CANT (not that i have enough time to do it, but I can do it!)

[abzoluut]

So that means we can get tomes now, and today after reset I guess. 900 for today.
