The 4 tomestones

[EdwinLi]

Currently now we have 2 of the 4 tomestones for endgame gear sets.

Tier 1 Philosophy (no time capacity restrictions)


Tier 2 Mythology (300 per week restriction)


looking closely we still have 2 more tiers of tomes arriving in the future for future endgame gears and materials once newer and higher levels of endgame are released.

Current restriction to Mythology is most likely due to how the gear set is the currently one of the best gears in the game but once the next 2 tiers tomes are released it will be possible to increase the capacity on mythology or remove the 300 per week restrictions since Mythology gear will no longer one of the best gears in the game.

So people who want their Mythology AF2 set can get these now but if you're waiting for lower or no restrictions it will be a while before we get the increase from 300 to higher capacity or complete removal of 300 tomes per week on mythology.

(on the bright side we all can look back and tell the people who can get mythology and AF2 gear easily in the future about this time when mythology was restricted)

and one that needs to be told because it will be either now when we still have the 300 per week restriction or later once the 300 per week restriction no longer exists or have a higher capacity that we can easily get 1 or 2 pieces per week.

Tier 3: Tomestones of Theology, 100 cap a week and 1000 minimum just for accessories. Everyone ragequits \o/

[Steeled]

The design path that they're taking is mostly lifted from the mainstream mmo's before it. By the time mythology are reasonable to get, the gear you obtain with mythology will be pretty lackluster.

And then people will be crying about 300 (or whatever) restrictions on whatever the new tome is.

I'm glad there's a limitiation, or i'd never stop grinding it.

Similar to FFXI, I liked having a limitaition on what I could do, it stopped me 'no-lifing', it also stops everyone getting really far ahead within a matter of weeks.

Honestly, ask yourself this one question: Has it REALLY stopped people from getting really far ahead within a matter of weeks? Has the lack of gil drops in dungeons REALLY stopped the world from getting insane amounts of gil, where RMT's are advertising 1 million for 6 USD? Has the limit on myth tomes REALLY stopped people from discovering ways to exploit their way through end-game content, and then publicly "denounce" their own use of said exploits as a means of merely notifying SE about the exploits?

NooooOOOOoooo.

Yes it has, name me anyone who has a full set of AF2 along with accessories and vanquished Turn 5 of the binding coil without a sweat on their brow?

I can see you're not on a Legacy server, i'm afraid aside from RMT's most people on the newer servers don't have as much money as the legacy servers, but aside from melding gear your gil won't buy you into end-game content that easily.

There is no way to dodge the Mytholgoy cap. The only people to exploit Turn 5 so far submitted a ticket to Square Enix explaining that they didn't complete it legitimately and made sure they didn't receive the 'World-First' claim due to a bug.

Because, really, "denying one's self the 'World First' tag makes everything A-Ok! We'll just scoot along, continue the lore and continue exploring, getting ourselves ahead of everyone else...oh, and avertising that there's an exploit to get past this hard part (with screenshots which - for all intents and purposes, practically SPELLS OUT how to do it), so anyone else with 5 minutes to think about it can get their FC past turn 5, too."

*phew*

Was an awful lot of words to say: anybody that "turns themselves in for exploiting" isn't doing it as a, "White Hat" exploiter, especially when they post public screenshots of themselves doing it, and then brag about all the new lore and items they discovered from their exploits. But hey, this was covered in another thread already

It was a flaw in the design of the fight. Why would you get so mad about it?

They owned up to the mistake that it wasn't their fault and that they didn't finish it properly, there's nothing the party could have done to prevent it.

It's only 'exploited' if it's done over and over again.

I recall reading somewhere that the prices of current Myth items may be slightly lowered when even better stuff becomes available, I decided to hold onto my tomes just in case it happens.

That won't be happening until December, it's best to spend them now.
