Question For Dev team: Can you please low the soldiery cost for Animus books?

[Ditto]

The difference is, the i110 soldiery weapon can't progress. The relic can.

That itself can work against the relic weapon. All weapons progress in a way. You can get an ilvl 110 weapon very easily, far faster than it'd take you to grind out your relic to that same point. But just like the relic, other weapons progress as well, just not in a similar way the relic does. You can replace the soldiery weapon with a high allagan weapon. You can replace the high allagan with a poetic weapon, upgrade the poetic weapon, then replace that with a dreadwyrm weapon.

The only difference is, you HAVE to sit through the grind of the relic weapon in order to reach the better ones. For other weapons, you don't. Everyone brings up the fact that the Relic weapon 'progresses', and will always stay relevant, well, other weapons do too, and are often even more relevant that the relic weapon is. There will never be a time where the relic weapon just completely blows other weapons out of the water. If they were to introduce such a time, they would be at the bad end with anyone who raids for gear instead of grinding their relic. Which would be a problem. Unless of course they merge the two somehow, but that's doubtful.

Don't forget that not only is it harder to get 500 soldiery now than it was to get 1500 mythology then, but soldiery is still used for many other useful things players want, while mythology was not.

Many people were spending on crafting items and jewelry for their retainers in order to keep their mythology down to 1500 for when they completed their current book. Now that soldiery and ST drops are uncapped, there are many people who are going to be using soldiery to gear up their less-used jobs in 100/110 stuff.

Also, called it.

The current values are not a permanent thing, and we will also continue to make adjustments based off of everyone’s feedback.

why wouldn't you want your voice to be heard? You sound like a under-foot type of person who accept being controlled. I'm not asking the books to be free in asking to have the price be cut down. They may take my thread or they may not at least I put my voice out there and that's good enough for me.

I quote the whole thing, because your quote is out of context

Greetings, everyone.

We received a comment from the development team that I’d like to share in regards to the amount of Allagan tomestones that can be earned from content in Patch 2.4.

The amount of tomestones is not only connected with content difficulty and rarity, but they’ve also been adjusted based on the calculations of the total amount yielded from all of the new content released in patch 2.4.

With the addition of the new Allagan tomestones of poetics in Patch 2.4, we’ve made overall balance adjustments to the amounts of tomestones earned, and the following was envisioned for the beginning of Patch 2.4.

• The Hunt would be content where players collect allied notes and enhance their equipment.
• Allagan tomestones of poetics and soldiery would mainly be collected via instanced dungeons and Crystal Tower.

Due to this, in order to fit the content difficulty in Patch 2.4, The Hunt only yields a very small amount of poetics from only S rank marks while soldiery has been set as a bonus, and the main currency to collect for this content is allied notes.

When it comes to the balancing of content rewards, however, after a patch has been released we are continuously checking data for how much each type of content is being played and how many rewards are being earned. Based off of this data we will continue to make adjustments as we move forward.

The current values are not a permanent thing, and we will also continue to make adjustments based off of everyone’s feedback.

It was about hunt and the tome rewards from content, not about the prices of anima books or something else you can buy with tomes.

They check the datas and adjust the tome rewards in 2.5, like they did in 2.3

Can you quote someone saying that the relic should be given for free?

[SarcasmMisser]

Haha who called it that once people were past the atma step they would just whine about the grind in the next step. Probably everyone, it was so transparent.

This is why the atma whining was so asinine because for all the people who swore they just hate the rng and that everything else after it was easy you knew that they were just deluding themselves and every step is a grind.

[Kahnom]

Doesn't matter how much it cost per book.Relic is about patience,you'll get it eventually as long as you keep working on at your own pace.

The conversion for myth to soldiery was 4:1. The cost of books before the update was 1500 so with a proper conversion rate it SHOULD cost 375 tomes. The Alex maps suffer the same problem. I posted a separate thread about this.

[Danbo05]

You can get 500 soldiery daily from doing all your roulettes. Stop being lazy and get to work.
