Thread: A question about Crystal Tower Loot

So... here is my question

When you defeat a boss, a treasure chest will appear, and if you receive an item from one of these treasure chests, you will not be able to “Need” or “Greed” again until the weekly reset. (Allagan tomestones of mythology cap reset timing)

Does this mean that a static group or FC going in as a group of 8 can farm this content by just passing to the appropriate person and waiting for the timer to run out or will loot just fall to the ground?

They stated that loot acquired automatically will count towards the week cap.

While I understand this, the restriction is to not loot or greed... so question still remains...

No, it doesnt. You pick the loot up, in any way, and your loot lockout starts. They specifically mentioned this because people asked about exactly what you're asking during the liveletter.

Been wondering this myself, "In the event you are awarded an item from the loot list, you relinquish your right to vie (compete) for all remaining items regardless of whether you selected Need or Greed." If you can bypass the lockout by getting loot by having your party pass on the desired item then take advantage of it until it's patched. Now if RNG is really crappy or if there's a loot bug like what turn 1 coil had and you see a lot of the same gear and everyone passes but you forget to and acquire the loot and get locked out that's kind of bogus.
