Thread: No new colour of Scrips with Patch 3.2

Hello,

Big thanks to Slycer from Bluegartr for translating a Famitsu article regarding patch 3.2.

https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/12...su-Translation

We have finally received information to the DOL/DOH jobs.

Red scrips will remain valuable for strengthening crafting and gathering classes in the future.

Will a new type of scrip be added for gatherer and crafter classes in patch 3.2?

Yoshida: We have no plans for that. If you were thinking of scrips along the lines of Allagan Tomestones, you might have expected "the next color" to come about, but in fact the current Rowena's token will fall in the middle; the red scrips were intended to remain by design.

Is this how adjustments will be made from now on?

Yoshida: When the level of crafter and gatherer equipment rises, the current Rowena's token will become an intermediate currency, red scrip and the current Rowena's token rates will be lowered, and a new Rowena's tokan will become the main exchange. Further carrying out high difficulty collection and production from there is the flow that leading players will want to keep up with.

Is it possible that you'll increase the likelihood of obtaining tier IV and V materia for gatherers and crafters?

Yoshida: If we increase that, as an example, there are already crafters and gatherers who have tier V materia melded in the forbidden slots. Even though the numerical value of those increases was not currently required, there are already more than a few people like that. Although the value of materia V has skyrocketed, I think we will be increasing the amount little by little to ensure the relative superiority remains for the time being. The chance will increase somewhat, but it won't be extreme - it will increase gradually in patch 3.2 and later.

Will you be adding any new play elements for gathering and crafting classes?

Yoshida: We're considering it for the future. It's the same reason as before, that we really don't want to upset those who have been struggling to complete their tier V melded equipment.

But tier IV and tier V materia may be easier to come by for battle classes.

Yoshida: Tier IV materia will be obtained quite often. By the way, you'll also be able to obtain the tier V materia of your choice on a weekly basis. Even if you're playing at a relaxed pace, you should be able to meld tier V materia into all of your main equipment if you continue to play.

The type of materia obtained can be selected by the player?

Yoshida: That's right. However, if you're aiming for more than one job, you'll need to do other things to obtain them.

It seems red scrips will stay (what about the cap?) and will be used for a new token in the future.
I'm not sure about Tier V crafting materia. Not very happy if it stays as rare as it is right now...

well what i read, you will become one weekly lvl V materia may from 24 man raids like that i image and thats better than nothing.
but what i also see you will need make choice use the materia for gathering/ crafting or Battle class.

regars small hobbit =)

Hum
From what i understand
The tier V materia you will gain on weekly basis is for DoWDoM only, and not for DoHDoL

And i'm glad there is no new script yet...
I have a ton of favor to do... And adding one more would have been crazy !

Plus there is new recipe in 3.2
Tons of stuff to do !!!

I also think the weekly Tier V materia is only for DOM/DOW. :/

Well, instead of adding a new colour, they are adding a new token. Which, if I think about it, is actually the same as a new colour. I mean, the red Scrips were immediately exchanged for tokens anyway. So perhaps, we just buy different tokens with the same red Scrips now. I'm definitely looking forward to next week.

oh well thats just means use 3x lvl V 2x what ever materia for materia transmutation and prey to RNG god it come craftsman materia out

atm i have 50+ red tokens each so it will be really annoying if they would add some new tokens i hope they will higher the exchange rate for the ilvl 170 stuff items which you get from Favor gathering, so i could craft more ilvl 170 gear

regrads small hobbit =)

Yeah, I have a whole stack of red crafting tokens and also about 50 gathering tokens at the moment. Still, I don't think we will be able to buy anything new with them. That is why you should start with 500/500 red Scrips on 25th (which means you should have kept 50/500 by yesterday).

Who knows, maybe we can buy those "red" tokens with blue Scrips next week (I know, doesn't make much sense colour wise). Or the Exchange rate will be lowered; say 25 red Scrips for 1 token instead of 50.

no news about the red scrips cap?

Well, we can only speculate.

the current Rowena's token will become an intermediate currency, red scrip and the current Rowena's token rates will be lowered, and a new Rowena's tokan will become the main exchange

Since red Scrips will stay relevant, the cap will probably remain the same. But instead of buying Red Tokens for 50 red Scrips, we will now buy Red+1 Tokens for 50 red Scrips (and the former tokens will become cheaper).
OR the cap is raised to 1'000 and the new tokens will cost 100 red Scrips (the translation refers to lower rates and not a higher cap, though).

The only thing we definitely know is from the live letter:

Of course, we'll also be making adjustments to Disciples of the Land and Hand, as well as adding new rewards for red scrips. However, this will take place during a Hotfix on February 25 to coincide with the weekly reset.

There will be new items to exchange our red Scrips for.

That wouldn't be too bad.

I don't think they will enhanced the cap right now...
Maybe if à new color appear

But...
What i would love to see is still 15 comp exchange but for less ovoid/bot gathering
Like...
5 of each for 15 comp

Like the hobbit inwould love to craft more 170 !

I should start to save up some astral silk and Griffin leather for the gatherer gear

Would love to see Oooids and other favor mats die and not be a part of spending CRAFTING tokens.
