Endgame dungeons and gear/crafting involvement

[Xatsh]

Make some things sellable from dungeons/instances, make something not. Need a good mix of stuff. Everything being rare/ex fails hardcore as seen now, but so does everything being sellable.

Without sellable things someone who has everything has no reason to do the event anymore. No incentive, harder to get groups, the content becomes worthless or has to be really nerfed to low man it.

The ifrit/moogle weapons, while the drop system needs to be 100% overhauled still... totem/charm thing fails, they need to stay Rare/ex.

Ifrit should also drop a horn if you incap it every so often which can be crafted into a "good" item just as good as other endgame drops. Say something like this Inferno Ring Rank 50. Fire Resist +8, Attack +4. HQ of the ring can be +10 and +5 respectively. Moogle Drops some gem which can be crafted into an earring with Mnd+2 and Healing Magic +5 / HQ+3 and +7 on it.

It keeps crafting an integral part of endgame, it gives you options which cannot be achieved Via materia, and it can be $$$ which will keep people wanting to do the event longer.

Crafting being negated = major problem. Crafting gear > endgame gear = larger problem. Both have to be solved and the current design ingame simply will not work. Simple solution is to combine the 2 to a limited extent, more or less how Tanaka was doing it pre-Yoshida.

I would soooo like this!

And it would definitely give new life to these primal fights for people who already have all their weapons.
