Dear SE: Please Don't Do This

[Alex_W]

While I do agree on some level with the Midan Gear issue you pointed out, it is actually faster than the equivalent we had in 2.2. Back then, we had ST released in 2.3, which gave items to upgrade our i100 items to i110. However, ST also gave the Allagan tomestone item needed to turn in for our i100 weapon. However, iirc the only options for getting that tomestone was winning the roll in ST, or raiding in Second Coil. Now, in 3.2 we are able to get the i230 weapon at 7 weeks. So, we are actually progressing faster this time around than we did in 2.2.

It is true that in 3.0, we were able to buy the i200 weapon with esoterics without needing any sort of tomestone item. I actually liked that way better personally, but didn't really mind the gear grind myself. That might only be because I was running A8 every week for a drop to get another i220 item for my main/alts though.

That tomestone didn't even go into Syrcus Tower right away. For a long time it was only available in Coil.

It was immediately available in ST when ST was released, just not as a 100% drop.

Ahhh you're right. It's been awhile. I poked at old patch notes and it looks like it initially went in with a low drop rate, which was then raised to 100% in 2.38. Maybe I'm thinking of WoD where it didn't go in till later but it had the 100% drop rate from the start.

I could be wrong but that tomestone was locked in hunts untill yet another patch came out. I believe only the twines and coats were available for the longest time. And if the drop rate was rare it mustve been 1% cause i never saw it until after hunt train got patched out of hand

the problem is that when this quests were released there were plenty of ppl doing it , after 1-2 weeks is dead again, if u are to late , u are alone in your journey...and its painfull.

what i hate the most is forcing to do 2.0 content , ok isnt forcing but come on...the first step for relic is farm fates boring fates , if u start today u will be alone doing fates...after that dungeons including 2.0 dungeons , try doing the relic on a dps ....1h waiting for every dungeon... after that farm a insane amount of items (80), no1 does alex gordias normal anymore so tribe quests (limited/day) + farming esoterics until the end of times , buy /craft /farm overpriced items on MB "just because" ....and after that keep farming esoterics , do the 3 CT raids to save 1800 eso... ugh...half of the work is doing -50 content for a LVL 60 230 weapon...but nothing wrong with that

i wonder about the next expansion relic , doing Void ark raids, vanu , Vath, moogle and alexander for the new relic? or neverreap x20 to get a ilvl300 relic?

Fixed for you.

It's what I see for the next step of the relic:

Next step of the relic : Desynthesis

One item to buy for each craft class for a cost of 50 memo esoteric.
Each item desynthesis could give 3 different orbs for a total of 8 unique orbs. (Accuracy, Critical, Determination, Celerity, Vivacity, Parry, Piety, Stats Principals)
When desynthesis an item, you can get 1 (60%), 2 (25%) or 3 (15%) Orbs of the same type.

We will have like 10 points to put in stats principal and many points for others.
If we need to remake entirely our secondary stats, it could be like 150 points with a max of 90 for each stats (based on Ariyala).

Alchemist : Celerity, Critical, Vivacity
Armorer : Critical, Determination, Parry
Blacksmith : Parry, Stats Principals, Vivacity
Carpenter : Accuracy, Critical, Stats Principals
Culinarian : Celerity, Piety, Stats Principals
Goldsmith : Accuracy, Parry, Piety
Leatherworker : Determination, Piety, Vivacity
Weaver : Accuracy, Celerity, Determination

Example: I buy 5 items (250 memo) for the Weaver that i desynthesis :
I will obtain 2 orbs of accuracy + 1 orb of celerity + 1 orb of accuracy + 3 orbs of determination + 1 orb of celerity.

I think this orbs could be exchange on the market.
