NON-RAIDER - HAVE AN OPTION FOR CREATION/MENACITY TOMESTONES TO GET WEAPONS/ITEMS

[Nighthawky2010]

i'm not into the raiding scene for the moment but one day may give it a try.

But another option for us non-raiders to get those tomestones weapons & the items that are used to upgrade the weapons, gear, & accessories is to use the present tomestones.

No weekly lockouts for Creation tomestones. If you already have your i330 gear & accessories & you can buy the Rowena Tokens...then why not use the tomestones to purchase the TWINE & the GLAZE to upgrade your gear & accessories; why not use the tomestones to purchase the EARLY MODEL TOMESTONE - for example, purchase it for 2000 Creation Tomestones.

Same goes with the Menacity Tomestones w/ the weekly lockout.

Even though it maybe a grind...a GRIND IS A GRIND...atleast its option for us non raiders.

There are alternative ways that already exist, those are 24 man raid and hunts, coming in each uneven patch.

Also, if you don't raid, you do not need the weapon left side upgrade anyway.

I also doubt removing raid exclusive items would do any good to the raiding scene too.

edit : missread, i thought you were talking about the new 360 items sorry ^^'

Is that not the same logic that people point to in single player RPGs where there's a great reward that you get only after you beat the only content that you'd ever need it for? I think at this point, the only thing you'd actually need the weapon for is Ultimate.

In fact, you don't even need it for ultimate, as it's ilv synched anyway. What I meant is that if one has no interest in raiding at all, then having the best gear shouldn't be a concern.

Sure, but with the short shelf life on content and gear with how quickly new patches invalidate the stuff, it seems like a (nihilistic) non-issue no matter which perspective I look at it from.

If you want to give Rabanastre a try I'd go with you, this really isn't necessary. If you're geared enough to get in to Rab you're geared enough to clear it as a casual player at this point because most groups outgear it by so much.

Its an idea but I don't think it's necessary. Also if you aren't participating in even normal mode raids I'm not sure what you would need that upgraded gear for exactly?

You can do it! Just be prepared to die a few times in Rabanastre. Always happens to first timers.

Don’t be ashamed of it either. It’s basically a right of passage to die to Hashmal’s Extreme Edge dash attack.

Yeah i wouldn’t be afraid to try Sigmal Normal/Raba, outside of Savage and some Ex primals most of the content is heavily tuned towards casual players(myself included) that being said I don’t know why the old creation weapons aren’t outright buyable since it’s no longer as relevant as it used to be, at least for the propose of helping people catch up, but more than likely Eureka will fill that gap like palace of the dead did. I’m assuming their will be mutiple tiers to the new relic/eureka weapons and I’m guessing the lower ilvl(like maybe i330)steps won’t be as grindy as the steps to 360/370(again I’m guessing 370 will be max since Savage weapons are 375
