No End Game Crafted gear (DoW/DoM) higher than ilvl150?

**Arkista** · 06-24-2015 06:46 AM

Just in case there are new players or people forgot, When 2.0 launched we had Dark Light ilvl70 and then we had Crafted Gear ilvl70. Doman Gear is pretty much 3.0s version of Dark Light. Esoterics gear while pretty much be the same as ilvl90 relic gear at 2.0 as well.

What is up with the lack of high end crafted gear for DoW/DoM? Highest I've seen is ilvl150. Another wasted update for crafters and gatherers. And Tier V materia is coming soon, what is the point? Not going to be rocking full ilvl150 penta melded gear, when Doman Gear (ilvl170+) is easy to obtain.

There are a lot of good things with this EXP, but this isn't one of them.

EDIT Fixed the title, Shouldn't have said "End Game". Guess people think I been BIS forever and be on par with the Esoterics gear coming out.

They wan't the best gear in the game earned through dungeons and raids. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think it's good ppl cant buy gil and get the best gear in the game.

I guess crafting is going to be the same as raiding. You do it for fun, and that's the only reward you get out of it.

They can't even make it on par with esoterics because you can only get 1 piece of esoteric a week. Crafted gear would have no weekly limit. So at best it could be on par with law gear, which it prob is if you socket a bunch of materia into it.

EDIT: I agree with you that the crafted gear should be lvl 170-180, similar to the law gear. But they would have to balance the materia so that lvl 180 crafted gear wasn't more powerful than lvl 190-200 stuff. Materia is wierd because you can get materia with primary stats like vitality and mind and not just secondary stats.

I take it you prefer it if they remove equipment drops from raiding then.

I guess I worded that badly. What I meant was that the Alexander normal mode drops the same gear as savage, slightly lower item level but still. People will be doing savage mode pretty much just for fun now. Not a whole lot of perks for doing it, similar to crafting.

With Materia being 15+ and having 2 or more materia. That would make jewelry stupid powerful.

Good. Crafted gear should never be BiS because a) most of the playerbase can't afford the multiple millions of gil that it costs, thus putting it out of the reach of many players, and b) the high prices would encourage RMT even further.

BiS gear should be obtainable through effort, not gil.

will be the same as when ARR was released *facepalms* not gonna make everything available from day 1 = = future patches will add more stuff.. whats the point of adding everything from the get go??

When ARR was released we had Dark Light and Crafted gear of the same ilvl. Don't see why they couldn't have added some ilvl160-170 crafted gear to go along with Doman Gear.

I don't remember if it was the same time as alexander savage/hard opens up that it was planned for though.

Well if it was around that time I guess it would ok. They still don't have any of the Alexander Raid gear added to the database, so I guess they could add some higher ilvl crafted gear then.

There are caps. What those are idk.

Also ilvl150 HQ (left side) is like 10 stat points lower than the ilvl170 doman gear(which you can upgrade to ilvl180), I doubt those Tier V materia's will make up for that much of a loss, Jewelry is like a 5 stat point difference, Might be worth it for some. I'm not a numbers guy.
