Up Poetics Cap to 600.

[Aethaeryn]

I don't think we need such a thing now considering how close 3.0 is to release.

Poetic gear now is mostly best given to a Job you main or to a alt to your main anyways. It is not ment to be something that can be given to all your Jobs until they move on to the next Tome update.

I agree that it's too late to really matter with poetics right now, but this is going to be the same thing we see in 3.0.

I don't think anyone has been asking for it to be completely uncapped so that we can gear every job in a month. People just want to be able to gear more than 1.5-2 jobs every 6 months. This game punishes you for wanting to play multiple jobs, and it also punishes you for making alts. Can't really win if you like to play everything. :/

Well my best guess is that they may increase the basic tome cap in 3.0 or sometime in 3.X era.

But that is still quite sometime away despite how close 3.0 is.

My hope is they always follow the poetic formula with a weaker alternative like soldiery for secondary jobs. It's an amazing formula and it's the way to go, big praise from me to Yoshi.

Have to remember that Poetics puts you in gear that is 30 i-levels higher than what... 90% of the current content available in the game (if not more)?

I've always been annoyed with how the cap didn't accommodate 7 days of the once-daily Expert rate of acquisition simply because you were meeting the cap so early by just running one DF once a day. Not because it hindered gear progression... it was just an OCD kind of thing with the math I guess.

But just the same... I finished my BLM in base Ironworks the other night, and I didn't cap every week initially when they came out because of RL stuff getting in the way. So, rate of acquisition isn't as dire as presented here. Granted, I wouldn't mind if it were a bit faster I guess... but it's steady enough against the rate of new content releases I suppose.

Oh no, don't up the cap, I have 2 characters (working on 3rd) at level 50 and if they up it I will never cap on any of them. I like how it is now

Yeah but in a few months these tomes will become obsolete anyways. Obviously we have no release date on Heavensward but if they don't at least increase the cap (I'd prefer they just un-cap it) before the expansion it will just become wasted. I mean unless they make Poetics useful for something in Heavensward (e.g. like the new Philosophy Tomes) then they definitely need to let us get more. Not saying we need this now, just a decent amount of time before Heavensward.

Only if they cap Hunts at 600 pre week.
