Please make Criterion reward gear.

#1) 50 potsherds reward: mount
#2) Gear drops are 650ilvl in the instance
#3) 10 potsherds reward: upgrade gear to 655 ilvl (alt job gearing)
#4) 60 potsherd reward: one epic ring with 3 materia slots .. (scalable ilvl like menphinas earring. Which increases damage done in all 4 man content by 10% upto level 90)
#5) 60 potsherd reward: on 655 weapon which + 2 bookIV anabaseious (or whatever) can be upgraded to 660.
(All gear from criterion have a +2 set bonus of +10% damage in 4 man content and 20% +4 set bonus is 4 man content). This way you can cap tomestones faster and reclear criterion faster with less headache.
And with the special epic ring you can grind with alt job faster.

Agreed with all of you there. I've also thought about attaching Criterion to relic weapons, but ofc also making Variant a viable option for more casual players. Would do wonders for longevity

I like the set bonus idea, that's something I've always wanted to see inside this game. Only problem I see with the damage bonus is the toxicity to come with it; like people getting flamed for not having the set bonus, thus getting kicked. I love the idea of being able to 'upgrade' Criterion gear into Savage gear.
