Anyone else think the cap of 900 for tomes should be the future cap?

[Mycow8me]

For the first time since 2.0 I can play more than 1 or 2 classes that I enjoy at the same time. I don't enjoy farming tomes what so ever but at least now I can enjoy playing multiple classes at endgame more freely.

How about we just keep the cap at 900 instead of the old 450 for future "tome" styled content? You still can't gear rush new content anyway.

I think 450 is fine. I would much more like the possibility to have a individual 450 tome cap for each major role (Tanks,Healer,Range,Melee). That way i could gear up multiple classes at the same time.

I think you answered your own question when you said "I don't enjoy farming tomes what so ever".

I'd much rather see an alternate solution that allows people to play multiple classes if they so choose, rather than just encouraging people to grind twice as many tomes during the first couple of months after a major patch.

What stopped you from enjoying more jobs that didn't have i260 tomestone gear? Crafted gear is only 10 iLvls lower, after all.

I totally agree i think 900 is perfect because for me I do not have a main its somethings I feel better healing than I do tanking for instance sophia extreme Im just not gona tank that period , its to many positionals pulse tilts that I just cant focus on all of that at once. So I healed it and was much more comfortable doing it as a healer I dont have mains depending on the instance I may do better on a certain role I dont believe in no cap but 900 gets u chest and pants. 450 is a bit low if even not 900 at least 750 or something like that 450 is just kinda a joke tbh.

In the context that the job pools are going to be increased by two, I can support this.

Especially with the fact that both jobs are dps.

The recipis have insane control requirements and I don't like spending tons of gil on overpriced gear that only 5-10% of the community on my server can make at any given time (yay monopoly). So I usually stick with tome gear unfortunately or whatever current raid gear is. I don't like farming tomes, its true, but usually I don't go out of my way to farm them anymore and I get capped before the end of the week at 450 tomes but with the 900 cap I don't usually reach it at my own pace but I still get more tomes per week with the amount of time I play.

If they made the cap 450 tomes for each class per week, that would still make people choose what class they want to gear up ultimately cause people like me will not be able to go cap 3-4 classes a week. With a 900 straight cap, I don't have to worry about what class I have to play on (especially for things like light farming)... I can choose what gear I need when I need it etc...

Here's the thing with the "alternative solution"... SE has stuck with the same trend of updates since 2.0 and at this point I really don't expect it to change. Even if we provided new solutions which have been suggested over the ages, that still requires them to make new gear sets per patch and they already said that takes alot out of development time. There is no Win/win situation here so they could just easily raise cap by 450 more tomes and be done with it.

Well for one, buying crafted items typically is much more costly and readily replaced, unless you can HQ craft, the need for crafted gear now is pretty pointless. Now if we go back to only getting 450 a week, given it takes 5,760 tomes to gear one class, so 11,520 tomes are needed to gear two classes, at 450 a week it would take 25.6 weeks to gear two classes vs 12.8 at 900 a week.

And given how buying two accessories would cost 990, you can't even gear a second class at equal rate as your main with the tomes being at 900 a week.

First time since 2.0? So you skipped the end of 2.5 then, when the poetics cap was relaxed/removed?

Max ilvl of the previous patch is enough to do stuff of the current.. So really you could've been using all jobs all along.

[Lunafreya]

But how is this anything new really? They always cap it at 450 then raise the cap. You can still enjoy the jobs without gear.
