    Crystal Tower gear

    Theres a few pieces of gear from the old Crystal Tower raids that I would like for glamor, but the queue times are endless and the whole 1 item per boss thing from a massive loot table really doesnt help.

    I was just wondering if maybe a craftable version of each set could be added, or maybe even a currency from the more recent 24man raids that could be used on to buy the old gear or maybe even tomes!

    Glamor is the true endgame and I'm sure I'm not alone here lol

    It will come I'm sure, a lot of the Syrcus Tower gear was skipped on back in the day due to the sands of time drop, and I can see new and old players wanting that too (and of course WoD gear as well). What I would really like though is the WoL outfit (armor of light) in the dissidia colours rather than the amano colours if possible.

    Does anyone know why the drops were reduced from 2 pieces to 1? I am baffled by this design decision and makes me want to run these towers even less despite wanting the gear out of LotA and WoD.

    Old Labyrinth/syrcus/WoD always only ever had 1 drop per boss. Its archaic and was never updated upon, despite the newer 24 man raids actually seeing the updates that people wanted back then, extra drops per boss being one of them, to help alleviate the not seeing the piece of loot you want.. ever.. anyways... I'm all for making crafted/dyeable versions of the gear from these raids.

    Oh God those we're dark times indeed during the WoD days especially for Bards, Scholars and tanks. I've repressed the amount of times I had to run it for the healer gloves back in the day.

    And yes OP bring it on, more glamour is always nice

    Try doing them on Sundays. The Reddit community has arranged that day as a Crystal Tower day, so perhaps you can get into a queue then. With the recent anima nerf, more people are like to run it for the weekly aether oil, so try Tuesdays as well.
