Suggestion: Add Poetics to HW Levelling Dungeons

New tomes in next patch which will likely mean poetics are gone.

I don't see this happening yet. Since the holidays there's probably still a lot of relatively new amount of players without Heavensward Access. Usually the way things go the old one is removed and the new one replaces the old currency. So most likely Law will be replaced Eso will replace it and the new currency will replace Eso. This seems more likely than just removing poetics and replacing it with law which wouldn't make sense. Since poetics really only exists for people without expansion access.

Why they don't add unidentified tokens for ESO? Would be great for players that don't play more than 2~3 classes, I have basically 2000 useless esoterics. I try to buy some gear for glamour just to be able to cap the weekly 450.

So players can use eso to buy gear instead of spending it for another weapon.

Poetics will remain as the lv50 tomes forever. What will be gone is law.

I wounder where they will put the law gear. Into the new dungeons or into the Centurio hunt shop?

You must have not seen how the old tomes worked in 2.0:

First we had Philosophy and Mythology, followed by Soldiery. Philosophy got canned and people could trade them for Mythology. Poetics then came next and Mythology was no longer worth anything, so that was up for Soldiery exchange. Right now we have Poetics, Law, and Esoterics, so once the WTF tomestones come out, Poetics will be trashed and you can trade yours for Law. To keep Poetics in 3.2 and beyond is going to be a cluster#$@! on the UI and it's only going to add more of the token problem we have right now, especially when we get even more tomestones later on. Law tomestones doesn't have to be exclusive to 3.0.

Keeping Poetics will cause no issues with the UI. Even if it did, it can simply be adjusted, like it's been before.

What you see now in the currency tab is: Soldiery, Poetics, Law and Eso. What will happen is Soldiery disappears off the UI, and then the 4 tomes will be Poe, Law, Eso and the new tome. Then in 3.4 Law disappears and Eso becomes the currency you can trade for the 3.4 tome.

But here is the other issue. If Law becomes the new LV50 tomestone, then what would it be used for when Poetics was the only thing needed beforehand? If you keep Law to 60, then what is it going to be used on when Eso gets uncapped and is set to 2000 max while the WTF tomes are the new 450 capped? From what I experienced, the tomestones are always in the same pattern: One tomestone is used as the poor man's token for gear which is cheap and easily obtainable while the more expensive tomestone are capped and take time to earn for the more glamorous gear.

If we go by 2.0 then the Law gear will be dungeon drops. The Eso gear will be obtained from different dungeon drops (and eventually rewards from the Level 60 job quests) and the gear that will come after will go on the Centurio shop

When Eso becomes uncapped, then Law will be removed from circulation. Any spare Law players have will become tradeable for Eso. Same thing that happened to Philo when Myth became uncapped, then Myth when Soldiery became uncapped.

Unlikely. Current dungeons drop i185 gear, plus Soldiery gear never went into dungeons, but a separate i100 gear set was introduced instead. I suspect Law gear will either become purchasable with Eso, or through Centurio seals.

This is what I anticipate will happen. Yoshi did mention some time ago that Poetics would be staying in the game for a long time. It's probably simpler for them this way. If they shift Law down to the level 50 Tomestone, they'd have to adjust the tomestone (and possibly the values) associated with almost 20 level 50 dungeons, plus all the level 50 Trials, all of the raids, and so on. If they instead just leave Poetics where it is, they only have to change the tomestones/values for the (currently much smaller) suite of Heavensward content.

The Yasha gear isn't the Soldiery equivalent, its the Philosophy equivalent, which is why I think it will be dungeon drops (thought not nessicarely in Antitower/Amdapor City), I was establisng a prediticon based on 2.0's own progression structure (thought admitiably the dungeons there were overleveled by the Mythology Artifact gear up until 3.4)

That reminds me, was Darklight gear originally in the dungeons they drop in when these same dungeons were released?
