SE, Please increase primal drops or add Token System

[SionDurant]

Would you consider please increasing primal drops to 2 or at least add tokens and or increase the tomestone drop? It's immensely discouraging that on my 40th or so ifrit win I'm still trying to get a new weapon.

Besides the GC weapon there aren't enough weapons to allow for proper tank progression in this game and some players will end up in the long run when primal battles begin to become less popular in inevitable content patches suffering.

Please think on some method to add reward without completely ez-moding things. A token/tombstone increase would be incentive for experienced players to keep running the Primals.

Sorry if this is already being planned.

I agree...being unlucky isn't fun at all.

I am still farming for a proper weapon but no luck with either Garuda or Ifrit. Crafted weapons are overpriced and gil grenerating is a problem as is. Haven't attempted Titan yet because of full schedule but I wouldn't like to do it before getting a proper weapon. Otherwise I'll just go with the Relic directly...

Crafted weapons aren't overpriced. Their price is a direct result of what is needed to make them. The iLVL 70 crafted weapons need mix ins that require tomestones of philosophy to buy. And you need 9 of them. 9. Just for one weapon or armor piece. For the price of getting full vanya (in terms of ATP), you could deck out multiple jobs in full darklight. So you need over 1k ATP to make one of those weapons. If you spent 10-12 hours farming tomestones and other stuff, not to mention leveling up all your crafting and gathering so you could even make the thing (and crafting yourself HQ sets and decking them out with materia, all of which require a lot of time, effort, and/or gil) you probably wouldn't sell it for 5k, either. I'm guessing they are multiple millions, right? That's because someone spent a looong time to make it.

I do think it would be nice if primals dropped 2 weapons. It has to be fun for newbies farming Ifrit, which is a total joke, and just saying screw it I'm going to farm Garuda instead because the time investment is just ridiculous, so you may as well get an actual good weapon out of it.

Also it would be nice if you didn't need 9 potash or whatever to craft stuff. Grind, grind, grind... Of course, once you grind up enough ATP for that stuff, you probably have enough ATM to buy something way better (or use ATP to buy something comparable... and also for less ATP). That part of the progression system is totally busted.

1.0 had a token system. No idea why they remove it.

because you weren't even guaranteed a chance at a weapon in 1.0. If you think not seeing your weapon drop is discouraging, try being the only BLM in a group and for three runs in a row seeing other people get your cudgel from ifrit in 1.0, especially when its someone who doesn't even play BLM.

1st off this is not 1.0, so stop trying to talk about it.

Second off, you had no follow-up response, so don't use "first off."

Fourthly, Holyhunter was responding to a comment directlyu appealing to 1.0, which YOU ignored. If anyone was "bringing 1.0 into this" it was HumsterMKX.

lol!?!?!?!?

[Kanzer]

1st off this is not 1.0, so stop trying to talk about it.

And second...?

Or did you only have one point? If so..why'd you feel the need to list it as your first? Jeez..

Also the prior poster brought up 1.0 so he was responding to that. So...chill.

I agree with the OP as well. A token system would work out better in a few ways. First off someone could do the fight as a healer or a tank and still get a DPS weapon if they desired, if they had a token system. Secondly it would be fair for all players doing the run. From my days of FFXI, i know how it is to get the short end of the stick for drops. Took me two years to get my Byakkos(sp) Haidate. And it took my brother only one fight... So with my kind of luck, i'd be more inclined to go for the token system.
