Rare/Untradable Gear vs. Materia gear suggestion

[Cichy]

So we all know that right now alot of rare/ex gear took a back seat because of the fact that some of the regular gear can be made better with materia.
However, you can still spiritbond with that gear.
My suggestion is that the devs should add a set of stats to rare/ex gear that would activate once full spiritbond is reached.
That would provide more things to do and help with the gear getting outdated.

The point is that the Materia system gives you higher rewards with more effort. Rare/ex gear is supposed to take a back seat, but is still something you must work for (less) in order to acquire.

Oh so the dungeons supposed to be made irrelevant? Is that the master plan?

Something is going to be irrelevant. Either it's going to be crafters or dungeons, in this cause it's dungeons that SE picked.

What would be better if materials dropped off boss mobs to craft into awesome gear and make it even more awesome with materia, like the RNMs.

I hope artifact armor is crafted, or it has stats that are better than materia'd items.

No. I'm saying dungeons require less resources to clear. Materia is harder to acquire/master. So the effects scale with effort. I'm not trying to bash you, no reason to be sarcastic. >.>

theres not a damn thing hard about acquiring materia! And theres not a damn reason to have any dungeons/raids/instances that drop gear if its always gonna be utterly shitty compared to reg crafted gear and or 1 materia slotted gear. And guess what yoshi already stated JOB GEAR WILL BE QUESTED so ha suck it. Rare/ex and crafted gear w/ materia are completely lopsided at this point when there should be agreat gear that comes from each aspect of the game. This game will not work/survive on crafting alone sorry to tell crafters but your a minority and if the game ever picks up steam and gets ahold of more subscribers crafting as a mainstay will become even more an issue. They stated they wanted too streamline things more yet w/ gear its just getting more and more and more complicated. Class only optimal....required......job only next theyll add day of the week or fullmoon only gear. FFS make up yer mind developers your hurting the game more than helping w/ all this BS.

Hope you have a crafter jobs leveled yourself. Good luck trying to repair your gear to 100%. You won't be able to put in the wards at 99%. Hope you have the gil to waste on that repair npc with those high repair prices.

Just because it's quested, doesn't mean it it will drop the gear. That picture of the artifact gears, I saw a red version, a white version, and a blue version. So seems more likely to me that they are crafted gear.

It's just sad. I just plan on everything I own now being completely worthless after every patch until 2.0.

I stopped reading. There's an enter key, put it to good use.

There's nothing hard about acquiring materia, but it is hard to acquire the materia you want. Either hard or expensive, it's the same thing. It's harder to put more than one materia piece into one piece of gear.

Have you seen the job I listed as my main? "sorry to tell crafters but your a minority" deserves a huge slap on the face. HQ gear + materia is hard to get, it should be powerful when it comes.

I'm not being unreasonable or arrogant, I'm just stating something that I've observed.

Sidenote: you're = you are, which indicates the use of a verb. your = possessive pronoun. "Your an idiot." (sounds like I somehow possess an "an idiot") "You're an idiot." Very different things.

That's all I got to reading before my eyes started getting glassy.

I'm pretty sure it'll drop the gear 100%. It's part of a story arc that'll make you "become" that job completely, progressively. I didn't see any different colors on anything. What are you talking about? (literally asking for a link, here)

:c Maybe when estates come out you can make mannequins and trophies of weapons you've collected.
