if some mention about giving early tome upgrade items:
when it comes to gearing, the biggest gate is always the stupid weekly 450 cap.
even if you have other means to get the upgrade item, you still get hold hostage by the 450 gate.

now with patch cycle officially going on a 4month + holiday cycle, the way to get like 620 gears from 24man is much further away.
doing the first 2 floors on the min ilv 610 crafted or normal raid gears are fine but the 3rd and 4th is a step up on dps/heal checks. casual will have a hard time. folks thats wants to help and like fill the 3rd and 4th flr pf with unplay jobs(especially healer role) cant help much because they dont have better gears. ie, casual pug + vets with min ilv gear = hard to carry dps.

also coffers are still a rng luck to roll against other players in savage. and while you may be lucky to gear up a 2nd job, it will cuck others from gears as their main job. so my point is, the 620 tome is the one way to not cuck some1 to gear up. but that low 450 weekly cap...

there either needs to be a way to get like 615 gears or 620 and the 24man should bump to 625 ilv if thats the case etc.

or might as well, give players the upgrade item for the crafted gears if they clear the criterion dungeon. it still consider harder content even if its not the savage version. so like how the past crafted upgrade goes, you need 3 clears for acc, 5 for head, hands, foot and 7 or 8 for body, pants and weap.
