Poetics Cap Doubled!

[AzraelX]

Wow what a great surprise! This is why I love FF14! GREAT JOB DEVS!

Poetic gear will be quite high til level 55 and I mainly want the poetic gear for glamor- so much WIN

too bad, it's not uncapped.

having the number doubled is more than enough. getting a weapon has dropped from three to two, and you can get more than one piece per a week if you feel inclined.

Well you could always stop doing any activity ingame that awards poetics when you hit 450/900 every week and retain the same thrill/challenge/whatever of the original poetic cap.

On one hand I am as happy as a super genius Bond villain with a plan goes as expected. I can gear up my alt classes and go into extremes & raids as alt classes without being a hindrance to the group.

On the other hand... NooOooOoOoOooOoOooOooooOooooOoooo. Mondays are my day to level a 3rd character. And the completionist in me will demand that I cap poetics on two characters.

Now we just need to be able to do something with the old Soldiery gear as we upgrade to Poetic gear on main and alt classes. I am a bit surprised that we still can't turn old Soldiery gear in for Grand Company Seals or desynth it.

Nice. I was just working out my Poetics plan and found that I needed to cap each week until 6/16 to prepare a full 130 tanking set for my Dark Knight. Now with 900 cap I can do it much more leisurely. (Or rather it just means I'm still gonna cap each week but now I'll be able to complete my healing set as well.)

Personally I think we should just do away with the weekly cap nonsense and shift more of the rewards into the daily roulette bonus. This means earning it steadily every day is significantly more efficient than spamming dungeons the whole day, encouraging the same play as now but giving more freedom to heavy players.

Weekly caps and rested bonus are just another incarnation of the fatigue system. Most of us should be mature enough that we don't need to be told how long each day to play games.
