Gating new weapons behind savage

[Freyyy]

Weapons have always been gated behind raids. The only exceptions were the relic in 2.0 and the eso i200 weapon at the beginning of HW (you directly bought it from the NPC with Tomestones, you only needed savage if you wanted to upgrade it to i210). It's not new, it's been like that since SCoB days.

On top of that, if you don't do raids, you don't need the new weapons for any kind of content.

This has always confused me to, why cant the ex token be a currency type, same with the delta thing u need for the new weapons why not have it as a currency that auto gives, with a 1 a week limit like tomes, surely should be easy enough to code in rather then add a new item to the game that takes up probally far more char memory. This is what annoys me with SE they say they can not give us more chara details yet they bring out more and more items to bloat the amount of items in game.

They could actually delete tomestone token. it requiers only 1k, so you should be able to exchange 1k tomestone and 7 O4 token directly. Token you're buying with currency are useful only when there's item asking for more than the currency's limit, aka centurio seals. But IMO they still should do like GW2 and keep it all numerical value. I don't get why they cap tomestone to 2k, those aren't physical item but just a value. And using just an unsigned int as variable type to stock a value, you could go up to 4,294,967,295 tomestones using the same memory before an overflow. Having numerical value instead of token would solve inventory congestion and memory management both at the same time: far more easy to handle simple values than a ton of physical item.

They started doing this if you look at the crafting yellow scrip tools:



So there's hope.
