Thread: Personal loot for 4.0 Dungeons?

Q51: In Heavensward, players were able to increase their item level through main scenario quest rewards, but will players be able to increase their item level in the same way in Stormblood?

A51: Similar to 3.0, players will be able to obtain gear through main scenario and side story quests. With 3.0 dungeons, there were times where gear for the role you wanted didn’t drop, or you may have lost the loot to other adventurers, so your item level may have increased slower due to these reasons. For these reasons, with the 4.0 dungeons, we made it so players can obtain the gear for their role after defeating the last boss in that dungeon.

Really nice change, in special for leveling dungeons.

I am SO excited for this! This should have been done a long time ago but better late than never.
I always wondered, too, why gear dropped for classes that weren't even in the party. It just seems like it would have made sense to drop gear for one of the random 4 classes in that dungeon at the time.

He mention loosing loot to other players too, so looks like last boss is going to give something to everyone.

If they have any sense, they'll just add a token system.

I don't know. I think it'd just been seen as another Tomestone, 'Grind.' That and (I may be wrong, please correct me if I am), Tomestone gear cannot be De-synthesized, while Dungeon Loot can be. So, this would also be good to give some incentive for those wanting to work on their crafters.

No more tokens please.

SE: We added 40 inventory slots

Players: Yay!

SE: We added a feature so you will always get a piece of gear from dungeons.

Players: Yay

SE: It's a token system.

Players: ...

SE: There are 55 different tokens.

Players: Grumble

SE: Due to the large number of tokens added, they will drop into your inventory, they will not be KIs.

Players: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

I really hope not. If there's anything I hated about Alexander normal mode, it was the tokens. Savage wasn't so bad as there was the usual loot system plus tokens. But arbitrarily having to run A4/A8/A12 4 times for anything, even if just for glamour? No thanks.

They're really gonna have to change that for normal raids when Stormblood hits. Once the content is old, no one's gonna bother running it repeatedly for anything from it.

It's almost like you're playing an MMO. Getting the piece of gear you want for four runs is quite generous.
