Icentives To Play Old and New Content

[Stormfur]

I'd like to see primal-themed armor and barding (other than shiva and ramuh)

All 4- and 8-man old content can now be run unsynced, and while some fights can still be annoying (Titan, Leviathan etc. with insta-death mechanics), they have the ability to be run with a few friends so you can get whatever you're after.

The content I see a lot of people asking to be made some kind of relevant again is Crystal Tower - it still requires 24 people to want to do it, can't be unsynced, and is in general just realistically impossible to get into.

My personal preference for solving that particular issue is a CT Roulette, let it award a few tomestones of Law and Esoterics, and just let it be an alternative method for capping your tomestones compared to running the same two Expert dungeons again and again and again.

I like this idea too. I've seen some great ideas posted so hopefully SE will consider them.

Leviathan too. With the exception of the last boss of the 3.0 MSQ, every primal since Levi has had a barding.

Ponies, Glamour, Carbontwine/Carboncoats, Encrypted Tomestones and Gear for alts. You can run most of the content with 3-4 people, stuff like T9 would probably need like 5-6 because of mechanics. The harder stuff or as somebody mentioned earlier insta-death mechanics or stuff that requires some dps (Odin Ifrit EX etc) to make sure you get through those phases would need people. There's a lot of incentives to run old content a friend and myself 2 manned T6 to get him some glamour gear him a pld and me a drk, was pretty fun.

Rather than add specific items to specific content (which as a poster mentioned earlier, once people got those items, they'd become irrelevant again) they'd be better off adding a currency to all non-current content, and make all the new glamours etc bought with that currency.

It has several upsides
1) Specific items aren't paired to specific content, so you're not stuck doing a content you loathe because that's where the item you really want happened to end up
2) Gets people running any and all old content rather than just the couple places that had stuff added. Players can play whatever content they enjoy/miss
3) All content that becomes outdated in later patches automatically has reason to keep running it without them having to add in more new stuff
4) One consolidated place for them to add fun new things to the game that they might be holding back because they don't know where to fit it

I really like this idea a lot. Well put and a much better way to do it.

Add roulettes for some of it such as a new 24 person content roulette with a mystery box reward that can yield things such as:

NQ lv50+ food
NQ xpots/draco pots
5star/character Triad cards
minions obtained through ventures
a second shot at the minions from the raids themselves
1 unique minion
1 unique mount
timeworn treasure maps

Can add the mystery box to high level roulette, leveling (when queued as level 60,) MSQ, etc

This is true however a lot of people don't seem to run it that much anymore. The idea is to give incentives to run all the older content.

That's probably because the margin for failure is extremely high for Odin. I got my clear and swore to never do it again.

People don't duty find it because you can just grab 3 friends and go in unsynced and clear anything that was at level 50 in 5 minutes or less to get whatever items you want.

Level 50 duty finder will never be a thing again due to this. If you don't have friends who want to do it with you, I recommend using party finder.

I couldn't read the OPs comment because his signature gif distracted me too much. Its awesome. :3
