High Capacity Tomestones, we shouldnt need them anymore.

[Nekodar]

One likely reason is that when you can get the weapon upgrade item through weeping city/void ark tokens, or hunts, they want to keep a limit on how many i240 weapons you can get easily.

[skyfox]

I have 3 i230 relics without really trying, so i mean, thats an option as well. I still have all the midan gears ive gotten, never used em.

Hmm how could you have 3 relic without too much effort? I am having major problem even getting one for my WAR ><.

[Snugglebutt]

As long as the High Capacity Tomestones are needed, people will be running Midas. And as long as people are running Midas at least once a week for months on end, they will be distracted by the lack of end game content. It forces Midas to stay alive a -lot- longer than it normally would.

They release new content more often than most MMO's with much more varied types of content. The whole "not much endgame content" is a silly argument too in my opinion because people who tend to throw around such terms generally only count the latest raid as such. SE are not going to release a dozen 'equally' important raids with equal stats on the gear in each of them with every patch in order to make them 'all' count as current endgame, everyone will always just flock to the one that gives the best gear and that one will be considered 'endgame'. At least SE releases new endgame content quite often which means you get new endgame content more often than most other MMO's.

The high capacities will probably be removed when the ilevel increases in 3.4

I did CT today, I say the usual Unientified Tomestone Tokens needed for the Weapons, if they aren't removing those, then they sure as hells not gonna remove the ones for the i130 gear. Its more likely that they will make them purchaseable from Lore

Beast tribes take longer than 30 min but sure.

[FoxyAreku]

Farm Nidhogg and you have a better weapon for most classes.

It's not even that hard of a fight, definitely easier than sephirot at least.

No they don't?

If anything they're shorter. I remember doing vath and vanu daily and I'd always be done in like 25 minutes tops.

Maybe the old ones took longer, but vath and vanu are pathetically short.

[Roth_Trailfinder]

Vath and Vanu weren't too bad. They avoided the worst issues with the Amal'jaa, Sylphs, Kobolds, and Sahagin : FATEs. Especially those first two, if you get a FATE as part of your daily three, you can spend a couple hours just waiting on the darn thing. Or, if no one is around, attempting to spawn it by doing other nearby FATEs. Fortunately, the Kobold and Sahagin FATEs pop very frequently, so much less time is wasted should you get one of those.

If you have to pick, avoid the Vath and Vanu for the relic. 18 tokens vs 13 tokens from the ARR beast tribes. On the other hand, if you have a crafter, the Moogles are the best of the bunch. 18 tokens like the other two HW beast tribes, but you a couple faction ranks in you start getting 2 tokens per task, bringing them down to one token every 3 days (the ARR tribes are one token every 4.33333 days). We don't know yet, but IF the Moogles start giving 3 tokens per day at the highest rank(s) then that would be one Unid every other day.

i235 is Niddy and he's farmable, so I don't see why you don't just spam that for your jobs.

Going into Niddy with an i210 weapon isn't advisable due to the tight DPS checks. Also as a healer I've been competent with the mechanics since since week 1, but haven't been able to find a party to clear yet since people are hamfisted cretins, and no one is going to take someone inexperienced and undergeared into Midas savage.

I'm kind of bitter about it; I grinded my ass off trying to hit i220 to learn Nidhogg EX as soon as possible, but by the first weekend after the patch it was already too late. All the competent players had got their clears and i've been pissing in the wind ever since.
And a welfare weapon would have gone a long way to help boost my iLv, because people are making i225/230 clear parties and it's literally impossible for me to join them even with an optimum Lore gear purchase order.

[PArcher]

The 7 weeks to get a 230 is because you aren't raiding.

A tome drops from A6S every week. I know in my group no one wants them, but I think people roll on it just so it doesn't feed the floor.

Down A7S, and you get an easy 240 every week as well.
