Live Letter XIV Discussion Thread

Totally addressed my issue with Coil being the only place to obtain 110. I'm happy now. Maybe, just Maybe and unmarked Keystone too? Have that be a rare drop from the end boss? Right now weapon progression is worse off than armor progression due to the bottle-neck that is Atma/Animus.

Any info if we can use Soldiery for the next part of Novus? Did they say when 2.28 is? I hope next week.

Q18: Are there any plans to make it easier for us to obtain the sands/oil of time?

A18: You will be able obtain them in the new Crystal Tower dungeon in patch 2.3. Instead of increasing the drop rate, we want to increase the location of where the item can be obtained from.

Fantastic. That's one way to keep CT 2 relevant for awhile.

YES! I really hope this mean CT part 2 is going to be awesome.

Q21: What kind of rewards will we be able to obtain through “The Hunt?”

A21: You will be able to trade-in allied marks (points obtained by defeating marks) for items such as armor that is currently traded for Mythology tomestones, unique items that can only be obtained from this content, and alexandrites which is required for upgrading your Animus weapon into a Novus weapon.

Q23: Can you tell us more about the content “The Hunt?”

A23: The content will consist of players earning allied marks by defeating specified monsters called “marks.”

There will be different ranks of marks. The higher the rank, the more allied marks you will obtain.

While there’s no time limit for these marks, there will be weekly (via Grand Company) and daily marks which you can defeat to obtain bonus allied marks.

[Musashidon]

Repairs to 199% is certainly a right direction now if only it wouldn't require switching to all those classes to repair each piece through cumbersome menus!!

Seriously though I'm swimming in gil so I might still just use the menders for that.

It is still going to be mostly pointless unless then drastically increase the damage your gear takes. And if they do that there will be full scale riots.

You can get a less cumbersome menu by opening the Repair action through the Actions & Traits menu. It looks (almost) the same as the NPC mender, and you can just select categories and mash "repair all" (though you have to repeat it for each of the 7 repair classes). The problem is if you have any damaged item in a category that your crafter can't yet repair -- it'll refuse to repair everything, instead of only repairing what is possible.

You can do it very fast on a controller if you have all your crafting gear sets and the repair window on a crossbar.
