Need Weekly Tome Cap Raised to 600

[Picori]

I really don't understand these posts. 450 is fine as you can do one job. You plain on taking more then one job to savage?
Really only reason to have the gear. Also if you are doing savage you can just get savage gear for your alts. Also for best in slot it's mix of savage and new tombs so will not be all tomb items.

Having the weapons at just over 900 seemed like a bit of a jerk move. Not sure about ast/mch getting their af from it either, since players not maining them can't get the class defining looks, at least not until the next tome tier comes out.

Otherwise, eh. It's the usual ilvl trickle.

I think the easiest solution would be having us spend tomes to unlock the option to buy a certain item type from the vendor. Give Rowena 900 tomes and you can now purchase any of the weapons for say 10k each, give her 450 more to unlock the option to buy helms etc. This would maintain the pacing for gearing your first job, but make alts much more feasible.

some groups have people fill multiple roles as needed due to various circumstances. Small groups requiring a pug, groups where members go on vacation but others still want to run, finding replacements, etc. Having versatile players with multiple jobs geared makes things easier. TOME gear is the easiest to get but is gated behind time. Sure players can still be versatile, but it kind of sucks if, for example, I would have to change from a 200 tank to a 180/190 healer. The stat values for the ilvl increases this time around are pretty substantial.

the easiest solution would be to make the weekly cap based on job and not character.

I wonder when the EN forum can mature into a place where everyone's opinions are respected and you either argue sensibly or stay out of the thread. Meme replies are like..."I am unable to say something more catchy but Senpai Please Notice Me---oh hey ma look I'm on TV---so I'm gonna post this meme."

I'm act being very mature compared to some other post all over this mess we call forums. I mean every day it's the same thing drama complaints complaints complaints complaints. So yes i have fun with it btw there has been threads about this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...4-Esoteric-cap

The weapon will be replaced/ superseded by the new relic in 3.1, so I wouldn't waste any tomes on that. It's more like aomething to splurge on down the road when everything else is bought. In sure the price will be cheaper by then, too.

Relic 3.0 quest when?
So I can get the SMN breastplate first.

3.1 for the relic weapon so maybe 2 more months.

Conveniently, 3.1 will probably be coming out around the same time we'll have finished buying AF2.

What they should've done:

Doman gear should've been the Esoterics gear
AF2 should've been the LAW gear.

Why do I say this?
Because now we have, yet another situation where one of the games strongest features - the ability to do multiple classes, is severely limited by a weekly cap. Put the grind into uncapped content - not into the capped content. Being able to gear multiple tanks is a benefit for everyone, but now - it's very likely that in order to raid, you're going to have to choose which job you want to do and make sure you for absolutely no reason under any circumstance ever leave that job. --;
