Thread: Patch 2.57 please?

There is still plenty of time left to get poetics pieces. Assuming you haven't spent all your tomes this week, you will still collect 3150 tomes from capping weekly until early access hits.

I have four jobs basically at bis, including the poetics chest and pants for DRG, NIN, and MNK. I won't have any sort of problem finishing casters and healers before expansion either. I just won't have them done now, which is really the whole intent of SE anyways.

poetics should stay capped. It should not be allowed for someone to be able to gear up more then two jobs at most to the highest level each tier of gear. It should allow enough time for someone to fully gear one job in tomestone gear.

Horrible idea. It's already possible to get BiS on several jobs if you start early enough and plan. Which is understandable since we can play any and all jobs we wish in this game and are not limited to just one.

I keep seeing this argument, and I can't quite get my head around it.

I would think that anyone who's clamoring to have the cap removed almost certainly has at least one job already in full i130, possibly two or more (depending on how much, if any, Coil they do). They're likely to pick one of those jobs to take to 60 by completing the story in Heavensward, and level the others later (through dungeons, FATEs, leves, whatever).

Given that they can already be full i120 left-side from World of Darkness already, what difference does it really make if, instead of only going to, say, level 53 before quest rewards start being useful, they have to go to level 55?

And shortens the 50-55 experience when you overgear it, just to list off a few reasons off the top of my head. Like I said, as players its understandable to want to be i130 in all jobs in preparation for the expansion, but its also understandable why SE wouldn't want it.

If SE ever remove weekly cap for tomes I'll stop playing <.<
Because, me as average player, wont have a chance against people getting new highest Ilvl in just 1-2days. - Not funny!

To be more precise: two shots at oil, two shots at sands. And they're something all 8 members of the party can need on, so it's not like gear where if you're the right job, you're proportionately more likely to end up with it. I can't remember the last month I've actually gotten one of them, and since when has Syrcus been in the game? I'm pretty sure most people have been sick of it since before sands and oils were ever added to those chests. And they're used for outdated gear. (Don't even mention hunts here, they're glorified FATEs - do we have to get into how fed up everyone is with those? Especially with the allied seal prices we still have.)

It's a competition? Where is this "me vs. the world" logic coming from, anyway?

I have all my battle classes to 50, it's gonna take a while to cap... probably somewhere around 2 months casually. And it'll get me hyped to relevel all to 60 on expansion.
