Request : In Stormblood, allow us to gear without tomestones

[Reynhart]

Hey I LIKE the tombs. It's simple and direct and I know what I need. Why does that need to change or go away?

I am bored of the tomestone system too. However, I accept that this system is liked by many people and isn't going away.

Can one of you point the one sentence where I asked it to go away ? Because I sure didn't
And adding another system doesn't change the tome system in any way.

I wouldn't reduce them at all. If you truly wanted to give people more choice, then allow for one group to continue farming tomes if they want.

Roulette would still allow you to farm tomestones very fast (Especially if the roulette reward is increased). The reason why I would do this is so that people who farm using the RNG method wouldn't benefit much of the tome method.
But yes, it's clearly not necessary. My basic idea is only to give incentive to do a specific dungeon from RNG drops if you want to farm that way, while still keeping the tome system for those who prefer steady progression.

For me, I'm using crafted gear to get into content and don't care about gearing up anymore.

For that to work, it means that crafting gear needs to be introduced at the same time as tome gear on each ilvl increase. It wouldn't fix the controversy of the price but at least it would be an option...one that we didn't have in 3.0 and I'm afraid we won't have in 4.0 since it will be the next time we'll get two new tomestones at the same time.

You are slowly turning into my favorite poster here on the general forums.

I didn't expect anyone to say this. Thanks
