So, I need ironworks gear for another job. I have a 64 GNB with full Shire Gear.

If I do unrestricted runs of most Dungeons I get loot.

But I just did a Unrestricted run of Castrum and no tomes. I don't see anywhere in Duty finder page where it says that. And that seems inconsistent with my getting all gear drops from any other dungeon I run. For example, I did a few runs unrestricted of Aurum Vale to get gear and that was fine of course. Got the lvl 47 gear for my job. Nicely polished green gear.

So what's the deal? Isn't that inconsistent from a game philosophy point of view?

Also, the duty page says that "Limited jobs... unrestricted jobs.". So if a BluMage solo's Castrum as unrestricted, does it not get tomes? Or does BLU get tomes and GNB does not?

Nice touch tho - I got a message when I started saying that my HP / Damage / healing was +200%. Didn't expect that.

With so many jobs in the game, it seems unnecessary to "Time Gate" tomes if you have a high level job. A new role / job needs about 3700 tomes for a set of gear. That's about a week of Main Seq runs isn't it?

What are your thoughts?
