Please unify the right.

Problem: The biggest complaint of the patch has been the inability to reasonably gain raid level gear for alt jobs in a reasonable amount of time.

Context: Due to a number of variables that includes Player Attrition, Lost of interest, and increased difficulty. There is an overwhelming lack of healer availability for recruitment in Party Finder. YoshiP's proposed during the 14 hour livestream that it would be good if more players tried healer. Many players complained it would be unreasonable to switch jobs due to the inaccessibility of gear in the middle of progression content. The main issue being restrictive time gating of both Savage drops and more importantly tomestone gear.

Proposal: I recommend the unification of the accessories so they can be shared across all jobs. Removing the fending healing casting striking maiming and aiming affixes on all accessories and just make one of each type i.e. Lunar Envoy, Abyssos, Purgatory etc.
Accessories will have all the necessary Main Stats to accommodate all DoW and DoM jobs and applies the appropriate stats as the appropriate job (Pre-order Bonus Earring effect) . The split of Skill Speed and Spell Speed is handled by merging it into the "Haste" Stat.

Aim: Increase the versatility of the individual player.
Although FFXIV Market itself as a game that you can play every role on 1 character, in practice it is difficult, as one role will be far more ahead in gear than the other roles.
Requesting players to procure and pentameld a second set to fulfill PF vacuum is unreasonable and prohibitively expensive. Also iLvl 610 is no longer seen as acceptable in current PF groups, iLvl612 thru 615 is generally demanded even in P5S

Why this is a good idea.
1. There is a precedence, every expansion we receive an universal earring that works on all jobs, So we know it can be done.
2. Relieves pressure on switching jobs and roles. Since you only have to worry about the left side gear.
3. Relieves inventory and data. Inventory can be redistributed to the left.

Left side should be left alone for customizations job identifying and glamour reasons


Conclusion: Players that would swap to healing mid tier would already have half of the work done for them and would only need to procure left side equipment reducing stress on the individual player and making healing role more accessible.

Nah. People shouldn't be given gear easily. If you aren't willing to work for it, you shouldn't get it.

I don't understand what makes a certain ring suitable for tanks but as a dps or healer?
However, I do understand that a full plate armor is suited for tank than anything else, so I support your idea.
Accessories in WoW (Rings and Trinkets) are more unified than the accessories here and it didn't stand in the way of progression.

This would not work with primary and some secondary stats. Even if they did get it to work where it would be viable across the board, they should not think about anything like this until they have meld presets in the game. This suggestion just sounds like a nightmare lmao

Skill and spell speed can merge into a haste stat. And nobody wanted piety. If they really wanted to they can meld for it. Most people are just going to stack crit dh and det.

Primary stat it’s lot like other jobs can really benefit that much from the wrong primary stat. So just put STR DEX INT MND all on it

The expansion bonus earrings always do this

Timegating is not working.

They still need to earn the gear. It’s just their other jobs can also use the gear they earned.

[PirateRyanG]

Of course it is. It is rewarding those who dedicate themselves to their job.

[Adamantini]

and how do you intend to make the first fight of the tier relevant after the first few weeks, since it is there precisely to drop accessories? That would make everyone do this fight until they got the accessories 1x, and never come back.

[Lustre]

No thanks, the game's gear barely matters as is and your solution to this is to make the entire right half homogenous. I'm sure that'll make things more exciting than they already are. /s
