Idea: Coil more than once a week!

[Majidah]

This is a conversation I had today.


[5]<Majidah Sihaam> 9 days till my last wanted left side piece of af2, yay
[5]<Bremen Brysch> that statement is why this game is lame
[5]<Bremen Brysch> because no matter what you do you cannot obtain that piece for another 9 days
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> tru dat
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> time locks are crap
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> we could be working on gearing a gazillion jobs
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> but noo
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> everything is time locked
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> they should make access to coil unlocked by something like the dynamis lamp
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> so like 1 a week you get free access
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> but going again is like 1 mil
[5]<Bremen Brysch> itd be a good gil sink
[5]<Bremen Brysch> but inevitably a little unfair tbh
[5]<Majidah Sihaam> well how about each player needs to get a philo item thats like 5k philo


So how about something along those lines?
Once a week you can access coil as you can now, but if you want to go again you'd need X item. Each player in the party would need to have this item to enter for each consecutive time into coil.

Making this item obtainable with gil sounds a bit unfair and would promote gil buying. But if it would be an item bought with philosophy tomes it'd promote doing all other content in order to finance doing coil more than once a week. And they could make this item expensive enough so that running it several times would take a good amount of time farming philosophy tomes, keeping allagan drops rare.

Gil wouldn't be a good idea as any Gil used for it would evaporate from the economy. Philo would be fine, or possibly even Myth (trade off buying a Myth piece for another chance at Coil 1-5). I think Myth would actually be better as if you let Coil just go on farm you risk everyone gearing every job in full ilvl 90, skipping content intended for them to complete (CT, DL set, AF+1, etc). There's a weekly lockout for a reason, but spending Myth to unlock another go at 1-5 I think would be a fair trade off.
