Need Weekly Tome Cap Raised to 600

[RazeLandale]

Having the weapons at just over 900 seemed like a bit of a jerk move. Not sure about ast/mch getting their af from it either, since players not maining them can't get the class defining looks, at least not until the next tome tier comes out.

Otherwise, eh. It's the usual ilvl trickle.

I think the easiest solution would be having us spend tomes to unlock the option to buy a certain item type from the vendor. Give Rowena 900 tomes and you can now purchase any of the weapons for say 10k each, give her 450 more to unlock the option to buy helms etc. This would maintain the pacing for gearing your first job, but make alts much more feasible.

The weapon will be replaced/ superseded by the new relic in 3.1, so I wouldn't waste any tomes on that. It's more like aomething to splurge on down the road when everything else is bought. In sure the price will be cheaper by then, too.

Relic 3.0 quest when?
So I can get the SMN breastplate first.

3.1 for the relic weapon so maybe 2 more months.

Conveniently, 3.1 will probably be coming out around the same time we'll have finished buying AF2.

What they should've done:

Doman gear should've been the Esoterics gear
AF2 should've been the LAW gear.

Why do I say this?
Because now we have, yet another situation where one of the games strongest features - the ability to do multiple classes, is severely limited by a weekly cap. Put the grind into uncapped content - not into the capped content. Being able to gear multiple tanks is a benefit for everyone, but now - it's very likely that in order to raid, you're going to have to choose which job you want to do and make sure you for absolutely no reason under any circumstance ever leave that job. --;

imo we were never in the current situation ever before. people always say BUT MYTH WAS THE SAME back then. IT WAS NOT guys. myth gear didnt require 1000 tomes to buy the weapon you got it without any tomes for killing all 3 ex mode primals. yes the myth gear was job exclusive too.

the biggest difference? myth gear DIDNT REQUIRE A UPGRADE on top of it beeing class specific gear. it was on the same ilvl as coil gear was the second you bought a piece you were done with that atleast. yes currently those upgrades are blocked by savage but we all know come 3.1 this will change like it always had and having to upgrade each piece per job is twice as much work as before to do for the same reward.

they did a good job at adjusting the weapon costs and removing that bs allagan stone which would only drop from A3 and force everyone on rav weapons till probaly 3.1 weapons are FINE currently. since they were always job only. they reduced price of weapons from 1300 to 990 which is a good pricetag given the most important gear slot.

now for armors. what they should have done was not to raise the weekly cap. all that would do is create more need for farming tomes per week which is not causal friendly which is probaly what they had in mind when they set that cap too.

what they should have done instead was too adjust the armor prices the same way the weapon was adjusted. lowring the price by about 25% like they did it with the weapons. that would have been ok given its gear only for one job. THIS DOES NOT HOLD TRUE for ACCS. only armor should be cheaper. accs are still no job unique items.

for now i am happy ill be able to get that awesome looking drk weapon within 10 days from now without having to clear A3 savage for it -.- would have hated it to be stuck with ravana weapons till nearly 3.1 probaly when relic is coming and will be likely i210 anyway.

Wow... um... No. It is exactly the same. The only difference is you can BUY a weapon. You couldn't buy a weapon with Myth, you had to get your Relic... which could actually take more than 2.2 weeks if you couldn't clear Titan (Hard). There were people paying big money for Titan clears back then.

Oh... and we were limited to 300 per week, not 450.

Eso is EZ mode compared to Myth. And the Eso gear upgrades from Savage aren't needed... it's still ilvl 200 without... more than enough for any content.
