Thread: Not a huge fan of the new dungeon in 5.3 for loot.

I wish all the dungeons and raids from previous expansions were set up like leveling dungeons to make glamour farming feasible.

Personally, I'm on old school final fantasy fan, and the sets from the Return to Ivalice raids are my jam. I've been working on these for going on two years and I still don't have all the pieces to complete my sets.

Implementing the leveling dungeon loot system in past expansions can really help us glamour farmers.

I'm glad someone else has made this thread.

I think it's inexcusable the sheer amount of accessories and more accessories that drop from the coffers in this dungeon.
The first boss always has a belt + accessory, and each subsequent boss has had similar loot spread. but every single other coffer in the dungeon feels like it only ever drops accessories, with armor coming from them extremely rarely. I've managed to get every accessory for every job at least twice over now, with many times seeing the same piece drop multiple times in a single run.

There are a lot of people in this thread saying that the loot has always dropped like this in end of expac dungeons, but WHY does it work like this?
I don't like it either and I'd also like it changed.

So you don't run the dungeon twice and then completely ignore it for the rest of the expansion, simple as that. There are so many easier and faster ways nowadays to cap your tomestones that if you only had to do a dungeon 1-3 times to get all the gear you want out of it then it would negatively impact queue times. The dungeon wouldn't necessarily be "dead" after a week but I'm pretty sure a lot of people would just not bother queuing for it relatively quickly.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about farming for glamor, which means "waiting for market board gear to surpass it" is kind of a non-factor. As someone who has farmed dungeon content for hours with groups of cooperative people, I can assure you that running with trusts is indeed a huge waste of time as clearing dungeons as quickly as possible doesn't improve your odds of finding gear you want, a problem that would only be compounded by the ludicrously slow speed of a trust party. Some sort of token based system for gear would be a nice addition in the future to alleviate this.

Just add the "guaranteed drop for your class" thing to non-current endgame dungeons and alliance raids, like they already have for levelling.

I like the idea of more options for spending the coins from the alliance raids, and the coins are already in the game for 6 of the 9 non-current raids. But adding new tokens for all the older dungeons feels like too much work. They do already have the "you get a drop for your class at the end of the run" thing programmed into the game, and would just need to turn it on for the rest of the older dungeons. Much less work to implement, and it still guarantees you whatever glam pieces you want within a certain number of runs.
