This may not be agreed by all but, I'm sure this could be a happy medium then what we currently have now.. plz like if you agree or would like to see this change. And thnx in advance for reading this

Maybe you'd have a point if it weren't for the fact that AF armor in ARR is handed out practically for free through your job quests. Maybe if it was like FFXI, or FFXIV 1.X you'd have a point, but it isn't, and you don't. I'm sorry.

The way you got the AF during 1.x an you get them during ARR is the same. You do the lv 45 and lv 50 job quest.

AF is symbolized gear. You don't simple change symbols for free, even if you get them for free.

You couldn't get the body piece solo in 1.x.

And still the fights were the same (except WHM. Why are there no viewable Elementals in the WHM story anymore?). It is now just easier.

But yes, I would also find it better if the endfight would be still hard enough to need a party. It could be instanced and with a Jobfight roulette in DF ^^

for reasons that really didn't make much sense from the actual quest text perspective. and really in the case of the actual fights, only because the mobs HP was high, otherwise even now the mechanics of the fights are still pretty much the same with a few exceptions. (arguably better if you ask me, for instance the DRG fight in 1.0 was just a two mob sleep/kite and kill, 2.0 you actually need to remember what DRG's abilities can do, in fact of the 1.0 fights the only one I can remember that wasn't just kite mobs kill in this order was BLM).

Materials should be super cheap now considering the bump in Myth gain.

Its super worth it:

Uh, okay. AF is "symbolized gear". I'll run with that, sure.

But.

Dying the AF doesn't change the appearance of the gear, only the color. The gear still represents the Job because even when it's dyed you can still tell what it is.

I never thought they'd make Darklight Dye-able, but they did, and they didn't make it some long, drawn-out, expensive process either. Even though Darklight was once the 3rd best armor set in the game and unless I'm mistaken, wasn't it the best gear in 1.x?

Since when has fashion had anything to do with how expensive or obtainable something is?

In a game where vanity is the "hip" thing and sheep tend to flock towards the newest clothing, everything. Personally, I think it was kind of dumb that my fancy shades took two drops from unhidden maps which aren't that easy to get, but I'm cool with it since it's new and I like sport shades. Spring dresses and taffeta looked nice until every female miqote was wearing one or the other.

But tongue in cheek aside (again), I didn't mind paying 400k for my second polarized glass because it's not like I was handing the gil off to some RMT (I think...) and unhidden maps are a pain to obtain. Not everything has to be obtainable by everyone, especially not only a week after patch, not even vanity gear. If it involves crafters and isn't obscenely retarded (like demimateria) even better, because it makes crafting relevant for something.

That being said, as Brainberry said, myth falls like rain now and GC tokens were never hard to get. Your main issue is finding a master Alchemist, but even that is not difficult especially if you ask politely.

Right now, the philo mats are more expensive than the myth mats on my server.... 25k-40k for a myth mat, 50-70k for 9x of a philo mat.

I just with se could dye more than AF gear. I like the ilvl80 drops from the new dungeons for my WHM but that green is hideous.

I hate green, but I must say it fits my SCH fine ^^
