Tomestone Lockout

[Rongway]

You can get one weapon a week in savage.

You "can". It's unrealistic. The expected value is something like (1/19)(1)+(7/19)(0)+(11/19)(1/8)+1/8 weapon each week, which adds up to an expected value of 1 weapon every 4 weeks. This assumes that nobody already has the weapon for their job, that everyone will Need on any weapon they can, and that everyone will Greed on any weapon that they cannot Need. In practice this value will be slightly higher because some people will have the weapon already and some will be uninterested in off-job weapons; however it is still far less than 1 weapon a week.

You're not supposed to get max level gear on everything. 650 is plenty for anything that's not a savage, and its completely unrealistic to be able to play every single job well enough to do savage with them.

Why is it wrong to want 660 tomestone sets for multiple jobs. I get that 650 is "enough" to clear everything but savage but that doesn't mean that is how I want to gear my character and I bet I am not alone in that. I don't do savage but I still want the full set of tomestone gear for my healers, tank, phys dps and caster. It just takes far too long to get there. That's the point. And its not like there is any meaningful horizontal progress to choose from as an alternative that just wanting to max my tome gear.
