Gearing in this game as melee is horrible

[Shurrikhan]

Because savage bosses would die in 6 minutes on day 1 otherwise.

There's already crafted gear for that... Not that even it is typically necessary.

And yes, having the role sub-divided into 3 sets of armor and 2 sets of accessory required vs. every other role's 1 set each does suck.

It's vestigial from those sub-roles actually having noticeable differences. Alas.

You'll typically severely struggle to meet the DPS checks for turn 3 and 4 if your whole party is in last tier's BiS. Savage is tuned for crafted gear.

By turn 4 you're already using 6 drops of gear + pages + tombstone acc week 1. You wouldn't be merely in the previous BiS.

Meanwhile, cutting prices in half would mean 1 piece of armor from week 1 tombstones instead of 1 accessory, which is hardly relevant compared to the crafted gear and the Savage drops themselves. That alone would not cause players to steamroll each savage boss in "6 minutes" on week 1...

Gearing in this game is horrible, the melee specification is not required.

Yup.
For how much they tote this game for being "play every job" friendly, they sure try their hardest to not make that a thing

How about a suggestion of once you buy a tomestone piece for a slot, you can buy that piece for other armor types with the infinite tomestone?
and once you loot one of the coffers from savage you are no longer weekly locked to that slot, you can loot more. Just a couple spitballs

Come on. With 2 mill I managed to fully gear 2 roles (caster and healer), with every piece. Including 4 weapons.

It was just a matter of hoping between servers at my datacenter to grab that gear piece with the best price.

Just use the marketboard and buy crafted gear. Some augmented crafted gear pieces are BiS if you don’t do savage.

But yes the tomes are very limited. They could easily double the weekly cap on odd number patches. I just got an alt through DT last week and the very limited cap is annoying when trying to catch up or switch jobs.

This game has gearing? Gear doesn't matter in this game, whatever you get is going to get replaced in the next patch by some catch up gear anyway that you can buy off the marketplace.

Even if you funnelled all of the drops from turn 1-3 on to a DPS and dance partnered them, you'd struggle to meet the checks for turn 4 without crafted gear. I don't think P8S would have been possible, even after the 1% nerf.

[DiaDeem]

Why does it take 3 weeks of tomes to get 2 pieces of gear?

Please cut the price of capped tome gear in half.

It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't for all of that gear becoming 100% useless next patch.

[VeyaAkemi]

If you are talking about the current iLvl cap stuff, I agree, there is layers about how it could improve.

But getting a "good enough to get your started" Augmented crafted gear, Archeo Kingdom right now, is extremely simple, took me 4 days of roulettes for the tomes and a couple hours of crafting and gathering to get my RPR full 720, it felt like an exceedingly simple process.
