Please add all Poetics gear to all Sundry Splendors Vendors

"i bought a level skip, and the game should accommodate to my style of playing instead of how it works naturally"

With the adjustments made to MSQ and experience gain, it's entirely possible to hit the max for an expansion before the final quest for that expansion. I ran into this recently on my alt in HW, hitting max a fair amount of time before I could get to Idyllshire.

MSQ skips give you 10 silver chocobo feathers which is enough to get the Augmented chest and leg pieces; not even close to a full set of gear.


Hoping this links to the alt in question's lodestone profile.

I forgot to mention class quests were done too. The point being I stopped doing side quest content very early on and was still massively over leveled for the point I was in the MSQ.

i would prefer all "endgame" hubs to have all tome gear period honestly

i worry that this would make nigh-unusable menus, far too many options to sort through.

Why do you think this? I'm sincerely curious.

Unless I'm completely missing something (which is common), it would need an option for level and option for class/role and not much else. For example, Level 70 > Marauder/Warrior. We've already got multi-tier menus with the crafting/gathering scrip vendors so it seems to me to be doable, barring the effort it might require to build the proper database to house all the items.

First of all, scrip exchange menu is awful and too complicated already. Last thing we need is more awful menus like it.

Second, if you haven't done respective expansion's MSQ there is absolutely no need for you to have poetics gear. You literally can't unlock any content where it would be required.

You're absolutely correct, I can't unlock content past the point where that expansion's Poetics vendor is, making any gear of a higher level extraneous.

The point of my original post is that I'll get capped on Poetics before I get to the point where that expansion's vendor becomes available so all tomestones earned after that will be lost if I don't buy stuff here and there for retainers. This gets particularly annoying toward the end of an expansion when I have to micromanage tomestones to make sure I have enough to buy a lot of gear when the new vendor unlocks. I would be much happier being able to buy all the 50 through 80 gear for the class I'm leveling and then start backfilling secondary jobs or retainers.

Here is an easy solution. Ready? Just. Let. Them. Cap. Poetics are worthless and you get showered with them. You don't need full set of respective final tier poetics immediately after hitting an x0 level.

Could work nicely if they overhaul them to work the way the crafting/gathering menus work with groupings. That has been a really nice QoL on those menus.

I did "new" ARR on a 3rd alt and know how it works, thanks for trying. Conveniently people left out the fact that you get handed older tome gear in the MSQ quests, and the poetics is just a slight upgrade like i110 to i130 at 50, then the coffers beyond each expansion. You also don't compile tomes until 50 but the gap to 60-70 there isn't that much to buy aside from sidequest things like relic parts and items.

That's exactly why, it was already too overwhelming making players look for old gear from a vendor, and doing/not doing the upgrade path. Whereas they centralize it for the zone fully upgraded for one cost.
