    CT Part 2 and gear - will it just be i100 at this point?

    In the original Crystal Tower, we saw that it was i80. This was originally meant to come become the Binding Coil of Bahamut, and was meant to be the most realistic 'step' into the end-game raid scenario.

    So now, we are at 2.3 - and we're coming up on 2.4, which means the second level of Crystal Tower. But now we have a different scenario. Where before we had a 'gap' of gear, with i80 being non-existant; we now have i100 gear (Soldiery) and i110 gear (Soldiery+Oil/Drops) - which leaves little room for gaps.

    Does this mean that CT will be dropping i100 gear, proving as a viable 'side-grade' to i100 gear? Or will it drop i95 gear? Will it be similar to current coil - dropping i95 and giving us some way to upgrade the items to i100?

    I'm curious how they'll do it. I earnestly kind of hope it isn't a straight i100 drop - it makes me feel like weathered gear, even if it can be upgrade, has less weight for the lock-out it suffers. But even if they do bring it in as i100, I'd still enjoy using it. :3

    I feel like 105 would be a bit too strong from CT2. Stronger than weathered gear that can take 2 weeks for a single piece of armor is a bit... well, I'm sure it'd be a bit of a whiplash

    That's why I kinda think i95 will be more reasonable, or at best i100.

    It will be 95. Just as before, the CT gear will be the ilvl between the unlimited tome gear and the limited tome gear.

    Yeah 95 seems reasonable. I just hope it turns out super uber pretty though

    It's hard to predict because of a few factors. One is the current tome gear is upgradeable to 110. Also, if we assume that the current limited tome gear would be i100, then in 2.1 we had 2 sets of i90 (allagan/mythology), and an i80 (CT). I don't know if they intend to make CT2 as tough as Coil2, but if it's as tough, I can see it being i110, if not I'd say either 100 or 105.

    Yoshi has been trying to get people to attempt Coil for a long time (back from Binding Coil), so when CT came in which introduced i80 gear, it severely lessened the gear burden for doing Coil, (compared to those who were attempting it in full Darklight) so that the completion rate would hopefully be higher.

    CT2 will have the loot lockout just like before and I don't see the problem with it being i105. Tome gear is able to be upgraded to i110. with the help from CT2 gear ppl will be able to slowly progress (assuming they learn the fights properly) Coil2 and upgrade said gear or get High Allagan.

    CT is not hard. Dealing with 23 other people who don't listen is. I feel like its going to be i90 or at best i95. To have gear that is equal to weathered is dumb. It takes 4 weeks of time capping to get solider chest and pants but only 2 weeks to get both in ct?

    I also hope that the new tank gear looks like this.

    Hmm, just like the first CT you mean? Just stating the trend here.

    Yes, it will most likely have the same loot restriction as the first part of CT did initially.
