AF Gear and alts

[Vlady]

Gearing up does nothat take much game time if you don't care to be bis soon as possible. I did not do hunts or 50 runs pet a1-4 for just a 10 I level upgrade. You can do your daily and stay relevant gear wise just 3 to 4 hours a week. It's all how you spend your time.

I do agree that the game in general needs to be more friendly toward those who play multiple (or all) jobs on one character, since that's supposed to be a feature FFXIV has over other MMOs. As it is now, you're actually better of playing more than one character so they have a separate cap, and it would be nice to have them find a system that fixes this to allow FFXIV to play to its unique strengths.

That said, simply having a separate cap for each job comes with its own set of problems. The most obvious being that you would be unable to gear up in advance, or even build tomestones in advance of something. Let's say you have job A at 60 and job B at 58. With the current system you can continue to cap tomestones using job A, then spend them on items for job B, but if the caps were separate you would not be able to use job A for this, even if it was completely geared.

Another, similar issue would be that many people who play multiple jobs, especially those who play all jobs, are smart enough to do their daily roulettes and other farming as a tank or healer for faster queues. In turn this benefits each data center as a whole, because it means more parties forming faster. If those same people had to queue up as other jobs to get tomestones for those jobs specifically, queue times for damage dealers would increase as a result.

Again, I do think more should be done to utilize our unique all-jobs-on-one-character deal, but keep in mind that sometimes simple problems with simple solutions are actually neither.

I do agree it seems weird. Any other game wth just one class at a time, you can level an alt and grind for tokens on that alt regardless of what your main class may have done. For a game that prides itself on its job system, it does seem contradictory.

you could already do like give alex savage to main . af2 to 1st alt, alex normal to other, and the rest on law or augmented ironworks

isnt that what a lot of people do?

Your alt would be full 210 before your main if you do this.

well switch it around whatever . either way youll have 4 or 5 characters that will probly be onyl within 20 ilvl of each other and those should be good for any content in the game except savage or something

While i agree with you, Savage is all that matters right now for me, my static and im sure alot of people.

So yeah...

450 tomes per class <,<? Some people really have way to much time...!

Today I did my dailies and farmed my alex normal tokens and I got to like 430/450 - it's really not hard to cap in a week even if you play significantly less than I did today.

Why are you in such a hurry to gear up?

I don't think "id like to gear up my alt job sooner than 3 months from now" is a hurry...
