Lucis weapons will be usefull for 3.0? ( not sure if i get all )

[EternityFate]

Hi all! well... i have 4 Lucis and i'm worried if Lucis will be usefull for 3.0 x.x what do you guys think? any information if we will upgrade lucis to other weapon in 3.0?

[BlaiseArath]

I'm sure they'll be useful to get your next upgrade stage.

But they're going to be outdated, maybe not at 3.0 but soon there after.

[OMG]

They seem like a waste of resources. I imagine they'll probably come out with green catch-up tool that's practically on par with a lucis when 3.0 hits.

Considering how easy the Lucis tools are to get I think their current use is just to make the current gathering/crafting stuff even easier to make to help against the RNG (also explaining why they are such a large upgrade and you still need the Supra to get them). Don't expect Lucis to help you for long in 3.0, I wont even if I'm getting some of them.

They'll be useless by the time you hit level 55.

Just how mmos work these days. I could be wrong, but don't be surprised if I'm correct. Expecting the same with relic weapons.

I imagine they will have a new quest weapon at 60 which will start from scratch.

This right here is the reason i stopped doing literally everything except coil once the expansion started drawing near. Its pretty much a guarantee that the reset button is being hit on everything and lvl 60 gear will replace everything we have now. If you want to use these items before expansion go for it but be ready to desyn once 3.0 arrives

I had to chuckle at this . . . because I have been through it, and the same WILL happen in FFXIV. I remember when a major expansion hit another game I played - players like myself had worked months on Epic gear, raiding, grinding, sweating and pulling together very dedicated statics to accomplish those gear drops that made you jump out of your seat cheering and so happy you made it to the top of the food chain. However, once the expansion hit and I logged on, within 2 hours I had ALL of my epic very very rare gear completely replaced by common drops from killing random stuff out in the open. The running joke of the players was that Green was the new Purple (their rarities were the same color system as FFXIV). And these greens were stats that blew away all of my current gear at only 1 level higher.

I have not and will not ever do Coil, because that by the time I get from T1 to T5, expansion will be here and it wont be worth it. The only reason I am working on Relic Zeta at the moment is because SE has said on multiple occasions that Relic will not be left in the dust and we will be able to continue upgrading the Relic in future updates. Rumor has it this will not be in 3.0, but possibly 3.1, which is fine with me. They stated whatever effort we put in now will count toward the future Relic plans, so I figured I may as well get it knocked out.

But as for all of your Coil gear, Ironworks, etc. - even if you are a very casual player just logging on for quests or to go running around killing stuff, you WILL have it all COMPLETELY replaced within 2 hours of logging on - that is a guarantee.

'Tis not a bad thing though - have you seen the skins in those videos? VERY cool looking stuff!!!! i am not a crafter and I am considering taking up crafting just to get some of the cool new looks introduced in the video! And that Bard gear . . . ~drool~

[FoxyAreku]

That's honestly a very bad reason to not do coil.

Something people don't seem to understand-no one raids for gear. If they do they're an idiot. People raid for the social experience with their friends (or to make new friends) while accomplishing something challenging and experience content that the general public isn't able to do. Sometimes bragging rights, as well.

That's what raiding is. It's especially true in this game when half the good gear is on the VERY LAST BOSS of the current coil, at that point gear is especially pointless because you'll only use it to kill the same bosses over again until patch.

Gear is replaced easily, memories are never lost.

maybe for you.. but most want the best gear to show it off to ppl and show how awesome they are..
