Can We Get Loot Drops At Level Cap Dungeons Like In Leveling Please?

[MiraAlora]

As the titles says, can we get a single piece of loot for clearing level capped dungeons (50-90) like it is in leveling dungeons (all non-expansion capped dungeons) please? As someone who plays multiple roles and jobs, trying to collect gear either for glamour or for usage on current expansions has been such a drag. I've ran the new 9.2 dungeon so much the past three days that I'm starting to think boots and pants don't exist in this patch.

Even just trying to focus out a single job has been a pain. I've seen/collected almost every strength accessory twice over, and the amount of other duplicate loot pieces I've seen in the many hours spent running this one dungeon is really disheartening.

Yes, I could use the uncapped tome gear, but the base version is of a lower item level, and I refuse to run Aglaia 30+ times just to kit out just a handful of jobs in 600 ilvl gear. I could also go on about how we still need to run A4 normal for the blades for weapons. Sure, it's just 4 kills, but there's 19 jobs in the game now, and I am NOT running A4 another 60 times to bring my jobs up to a semi-decent state for the current tier of content, but I digress.

I could also buy the gear from the MB, but huffing out several million gil for the newer gear is something out of my reach, and you'll be hard pressed to find the average person having the disposable gil for such things, so that's out of the question, and the previous tier of gear (ilvl 580) still goes for 300k+.

For a game that respects our time, this one change would go a long with helping both people gear up other jobs and/or finish off your collections. So please Square Enix, this is something that needs to be looked into.

I was considering making a post about this myself. I have to have run Troia 40-50 times now haven't seen the tank chest piece once. The state of cap dungeon glamor hunting is dismal right now.

Also, first-boss coffers containing only a single accessory and not a piece of left-side gear should absolutely not be a thing.

The loot tables on certain chests in certain dungeons feels so weighted and artificially skewed I'm willing to believe they are, like how the first boss coffer in Paglth'an supposedly contains feet gear, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually seen it drop one.

Update: Over 100 runs into Troia now, and still no fending chestpiece. This is absurd.

Please, please, please, for the love of god can we get guaranteed completion drops in cap dungeons.

Hey, I love getting those single grade IX materias when running with Trusts.

As much as I would like it, I don't think they would do it for current dungeons, because the hamster wheel is basically deliberate. (Also, we've got months of Troia in expert roulette ahead of us, so now is not the time to be burning out on it.)

I really want to see it added to previous expansions' endgame dungeons, though.

There's no chance they'll do that for current endgame dungeons, they deliberately want there to be things you grind for.

That said, I think it would be reasonable for them to guarantee an item for dungeons from previous expansions. I wonder if they'd consider it.

I saw that fending chest drop in the first coffer.
