Need Weekly Tome Cap Raised to 600

[Remus]

I can understand the argument of wanting a higher cap for other classes. They game wants you to level multiple classes but the current system in place doesn't really support multiple classes in mind. If they were every to raise the cap I would say 500 and that's it so it shaves off a week on the weapon. For some one who mains one job this system isn't so bad but there are people who enjoy leveling and gearing multiple jobs in order to be ready for different situations if something arises. I don't see them changing the cap but I would like it to be increased for those who wish to gear more than one job. If it was 500 at least we would be able to get a piece a week (not including chest and pants) compared to now where they just give you enough where you can't reach it which kinda annoys me sometimes. Also the fact that Eso makes it worse because it job specific really slows it down because now instead of having one set of gear for multiple jobs you need to get gear for each of them.

Based on what OP said I believe 600 is way too much for a cap and I believe 500 would be a better point. Some people just like leveling and gearing multiple jobs and having a cap just gets them annoyed. Let's be honest gloves and such cost 495 and then we have a cap of 450? I honestly see no point of this just making the gear grind longer for just one class. If SE feels confident in the content they add im pretty sure it shouldn't take up to 2/3 months just to gear one class. Some people will disagree and this ok everyone has their own opinions but really guys if OP thinks that cap should be changed respect their opinion and just say you disagree no need to rip into them and use memes.

I agree with OP, but here's how I think it should be handled. Increase the weapon price so it still takes you 3 weeks to obtain. Keep the rest of the gear at the same price, or even lower it even further. It'll still make you choose a main, but your alts won't suffer too greatly.

I just hope they're dyeable straightaway, but I must be dreaming for it to happen.

According to the database esoteric gear are dyeable

That would mean fun, and we know how SE is about fun...

Im nowhere near getting my Eso gear but I like the way it is now.. No more Allagan Tombstones to get my weapon! Thank you SE!!

Id be ok with the cap if the gear was still for multiple jobs. But now that it is specific, it really pigeon holes you into one job for 2months. If they used the same model as the myth tomes gear, it would of costed less to get the gear. That way you could gear a 2nd class in the same time frame as 1. And you didn't even have to upgrade the myth gear. So people were able to become flexible with their jobs much sooner. It's just not good not being able to be flexible for hard content. For just PVE content, it doesn't make any difference. I'd be happy to just wait until uh October to have my 2nd job geared up, because it wouldn't really matter. I wish the law gear was closer to the esoteric gear for ilvl. That way your secondary job isn't just outright dismissed from hard content. I think 600 tomes would be just right, not too less, not too much. 900 was way too much. I mean there may of been people that could grind that out. But I think there was only one week I capped that, it was just too much.

As for the dying, just look at the gear at the upgrade vendor. You will see clearly a dye on it. That's your clue its dyeable.

I want to play multiple classes =/= I need multiple classes in BiS ready for savage

You can still get 180-190 gear for alts. 3.1 will probably have plenty of catch-up avenues. No one needs more esoterics for anything right now.

[Drako]

You don't need them, we do. There's a difference. Clearly your not worried about a 2nd job. It's a shame because flexibility is king when it comes to end game content. There were many times I swapped back and forth between jobs in coil(i.e. I'm a tank main, I played blm for T9 sense one tank strat is best). If I didn't have the availability due to oh well all I can have is soldiery gear, then it wouldn't of been possible and we would of had to have someone else in the static for a certain turn. No body is going to want you to switch to a job with ilvl 180-190 gear for alex, because they need that job instead. Lots of people are barely able to get past faust. You think they are going to want you on a job that is on ilvl180-190 once they have a lot of the 200-210 gear? Nope. This is just a example, its only going to get worse with later floors. ESP if its discovered you really only need one tank, or one heal for some of the content, like we've experienced in coil. Also there's flexibility within your job catagory to consider as well. There most certainly are going to be instances where pld is better then war, or drk over pld. Sense gear is completely unique, you can't just simply switch to the other to make it easier on your group now. It just isn't going to happen if your in law gear. With the current system, your just going to have to manage with what you got. No one can switch to make it easier for the group. Now if somehow the content is created in a way that there wont be better strategies for different jobs on each floor, then I'll gladly agree that "no one needs" access to better gear for a second job.

I guess you're just not going to be able to max out your gear in 2 weeks. So sad.
