The new tomes are capped at 450 per week. You will not have a full set of AF2 in a week, or even several weeks.

The i190 gear from Alex normal is also gated behind a weekly limit.

This means that the i180 Law gear is the most easily accessible gear for any player gearing up a job. What this patch has given is a way for those who do not care for the hunts (like myself) to get those upgrade items for i180 gear. This gear is more than enough for any content besides Alex Savage.

The new gear is really designed to give people doing Alex Savage a better chance at success. The upgrades for that, which only come from Alex Savage, are there to help those players beat the content and farm it better.

Unless you intend on doing this content, the Esoterics stuff isn't even necessary.

But if you only play 1 job and already have full i180 or better, then no, you don't need to do any more hunts. Everyone else still does, though, so we will continue to get our gear through that (or via Law directly)
