Prepare for....

Prepare for the b*t*hing about weekly lock outs and how it's unfair that they can't get what they really wanted because they lotted on a stupid belt on Tuesday and now the robe dropped on Saturday.

Alexander normal is gonna be on the token system -- each boss drops a token, and you turn them in for gear. The example given was kill all 5 bosses and you can turn them in for the chestpiece.

Not sure if gear will drop normally in addition to that, or if it's just the tokens. Hoping it's the dual-system like they have with Ravana EX and whatnot.

i dont completely get this
so its like if turn 1 to 5 drops one token each and if you clear them all its one body piece + accesory?

so is there a reaosn to run it more than once a week?

Well it says tokens come from the treasure coffers so odds are there wont be 8 tokens in there. So even statics will have to clear every turn multiple times every week for everyone to get their tokens. Hopefully theres more than 1 token per chest or else thats 8 runs a week for a static or potentially far more runs if you're puging it.

Judging by how the upgrades currently work via Hunt Gear...

Belt & Accessories = 1 Each
Feet, Head, Hands = 2-3 Each (Would prefer 2 on this one but who knows how SE plans to do it)
Body/Legs = 4 Each?

If they do 2 for Feet/Head/Hands, your ideal upgrade path is going to be doing your Feet/Head Week 1, Hands/Earring/Necklace week 2, Then body Week 3, Legs week 4. Then your last two slots week 5.

If they do 3 for Feet/Head/Hands, your ideal upgrade path is going to be doing your Body Week 1, Legs week 2, then choosing between upgrading all your accessories week 3 (4), or doing One Accessory + One left-side every week.

It's going to be an interesting balance game to be sure...

I pray it's a case of being like the EX Primal totems and /everyone/ gets a totem for clearing the turn. Making it any other way is just asking for massive amounts of frustration. How many farm parties actually go for 8+ runs? I find it difficult to find people who stick around after they get theirs, and at that point, you're better off just doing DF.
