Thread: Patch 2.55 Poetics tome cap

So I was reading the notes and shocked the tome cap was not removed.
As it would not be game breaking to do so as coils and WOD are now no longer have item lock.
With the item lock being removed we normally get new tomes and the currant top tier tomes have there cap removed so why was this not done?

Agreed and it's particularly odd since they made the encrypted tomestones available through the weekly quest. Except it takes about 3 weeks to get enough poetics to buy the weapon so if I go for that I only need to do that quest every third week.

It was this way with the previous one too. The tomestones went into Syrcus Tower in 2.38 and poetics was introduced in 2.4, which is also when soldiery was uncapped and myth was phased out. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. Poetics will uncap when we get the next tome. We've never had more than one currency uncapped at the same time.

I think they learned from their past mistake with making the tomestone a drop in the tower. For 2-3 weeks there's a frenzy to get it, and then it slowly becomes worthless trash. This way, it basically extends the content.

Annnnd this. 100% agreed. Bad enough I probs wont do coil ever again after this week ( unless for fun? idk ), imagine if I never needed to run a single dungeon again until expansion =_=

I only bring this up cause I cant always get my tomes every week due to work load so it would have been good for the weeks I do have more time I could have just gone in and swarmed the tomes so I could have caught up gear wise with the rest of my FC. (being the leader and lowest gear is not good for morale)
Well and its a weird move not to have it done but when coils and CT get unlocked its normally the best time for me to catch up but its still going to be a pain for me this time.
