Gearing up is bad

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

I am watching Xenosys and I agree. I think gearing up takes way to long. 450 tome cap is weak and stupid. Should be able to get 900 tomes a week or just let it hit 2k anytime.

I don't really watch streamers, i'd rather play the game ..but that's a whole other subject.

Anyways, i think people have been talking about this for years and the devs aren't ever gonna change this game's formula.

Well you say that but just this savage tier we had the cost of the tome weapon reduced down to 500. Clearly they are capable of adjusting tome prices.

The weapon was too high and they won't adjust anything else if it was easier for u get gear you then compline there nothing to do

This post is needlessly hostile. The reason people want cheaper tome stuff is so they can reasonably gear up more than one job. I hope I dont need to explain to you that there are more jobs now than there were in previous expansions.

This, especially on NIN I don't even have another Job that I share gear with.......

There are more jobs to level, but there aren't any extra sets to farm for them.

More weapons of course, but they already reduced weapon cost.

Have you forgotten how many jobs a single players character can be?????


Nothing to do........

Running all roulettes and a couple of dungeons once a week is also not terribly interesting content.

How many of those jobs do you actually play in content that needs the current best tomestone gear?

I've got 3 jobs that I rotate between in max level content (one tank, one healer, one DPS). The rest of my jobs I mostly ignore once leveled.

You don't need BIS for every job when you're not actively playing them all.

I understand what people are saying. Though after watching Xenosys talk about it it's true. You should be able to get your gear in a month nothing more. It's gated and for people who talk saying it keeps people playing no it doesn't. Just raise the weekly cap or lower the cost of tome gear. There are a bunch of classes to level and gear up anyway. I suggest watching him him for the argument. It's 2022 not 2007 I think it's time to change the narrative of getting gear

Why is a month the arbitrary line when you won't need a full set until the next part of the raid series is released 6-7 months later (at which point many are going to opt for the newest crafted gear anyways because it will be 610 ilvl)?

As I said above, you don't need to have BiS gear for every job especially when you're already capable of clearing the existing content with lower ilvl gear.

You're right that there needs to be a change in narrative but that change needs to happen on the player side, not the development side. You do not need that gear overnight.
