Suggestion: Add Poetics to HW Levelling Dungeons

[MilesSaintboroguh]

But here is the other issue. If Law becomes the new LV50 tomestone, then what would it be used for when Poetics was the only thing needed beforehand? If you keep Law to 60, then what is it going to be used on when Eso gets uncapped and is set to 2000 max while the WTF tomes are the new 450 capped? From what I experienced, the tomestones are always in the same pattern: One tomestone is used as the poor man's token for gear which is cheap and easily obtainable while the more expensive tomestone are capped and take time to earn for the more glamorous gear.

When Eso becomes uncapped, then Law will be removed from circulation. Any spare Law players have will become tradeable for Eso. Same thing that happened to Philo when Myth became uncapped, then Myth when Soldiery became uncapped.

If we go by 2.0 then the Law gear will be dungeon drops. The Eso gear will be obtained from different dungeon drops (and eventually rewards from the Level 60 job quests) and the gear that will come after will go on the Centurio shop

Unlikely. Current dungeons drop i185 gear, plus Soldiery gear never went into dungeons, but a separate i100 gear set was introduced instead. I suspect Law gear will either become purchasable with Eso, or through Centurio seals.

This is what I anticipate will happen. Yoshi did mention some time ago that Poetics would be staying in the game for a long time. It's probably simpler for them this way. If they shift Law down to the level 50 Tomestone, they'd have to adjust the tomestone (and possibly the values) associated with almost 20 level 50 dungeons, plus all the level 50 Trials, all of the raids, and so on. If they instead just leave Poetics where it is, they only have to change the tomestones/values for the (currently much smaller) suite of Heavensward content.

The Yasha gear isn't the Soldiery equivalent, its the Philosophy equivalent, which is why I think it will be dungeon drops (thought not nessicarely in Antitower/Amdapor City), I was establisng a prediticon based on 2.0's own progression structure (thought admitiably the dungeons there were overleveled by the Mythology Artifact gear up until 3.4)

That reminds me, was Darklight gear originally in the dungeons they drop in when these same dungeons were released?

Yes, when that trio of dungeon released, they dropped the Darklight gear. There's no dungeon at present that could fill that role for Yasha gear, though, which is why I'm skeptical that the gear will be added to a dungeon. It'll probably just be available at a lower tomestone cost or via Centurio seals.

I know, but like Soldiery they can be upgraded and when it came to that gear a new i100 set was released then instead. That's the point I was trying to make. Either way, the main reason you're unlikely to see Law gear in dungeons is because having gone from i160 to i185 it wouldn't make sense to then go to i170.

The progression structure in 3.0 isn't a like-for-like as 2.0, so we can't really go off that.

2.0: i55 (WP) & i60 (AK)
2.1: i60 (Pharos, CM, Haukke)
2.2: i70 & Darklight (Lost City, Brayflox, Halatali)
2.3: i80 (Tam Tara, Hullbreaker, Stone Vigil)
2.4: Myth (Qarn, Sastasha, Snowcloak)
2.5: i100 (Keeper, WP, AK)

Meanwhile in 3.0 we went from i160 to i185, so it going to the new set of dungeons is unlikely. Older set of dungeons are also unlikely because the ilvls of their current gear doesn't match the Law gear.

Yes, along with new i70 gear.
