Arcanaut Gear needs a slight adjustment cost-wise

[BokoToloko]

While it might be a trivial thing, I feel there is a mistake with Arcanaut Gear's costs, due to each piece costing the same, where as the stat distribution per slot just like with any other set: chest and leg having more stats than the other slots.

One could argue this could be due to the bonus stats while running Occult Crescent but this beg the question, is each individual bonus as beneficial as to make the stat distribution trivial when calculating the prices?

Thus my request: head, hands and feet slot should cost 2400 silver pieces instead (60% of what body and legs cost, which is how it goes for tomestone gear).

For some, it might sound like an attempt to get the pieces for cheaper or might feel undermined because they bought the whole set with the current costs already but, overall, I find it would be more damaging to increase body and leg pieces costs for the overall community, as not all have bought all sets and not everyone has gotten to OC since day one. Plus, this adjustment could be compensated by simply returning the price difference to the players (anyone who bought a full set would essentially get 2 gear pieces worth of silver)

They cost the same because they 1:1 give the same stats (40 mainstat and +1 Special Attribute). It would make no sense to have a different price

They also give stats according to item level that are NOT the same. You're not taking those into account at all.




Why would giving 40 mainstat and +1 Special Attribute, which is theorized to be a value of 1,5-2,5% extra potency on Phantom Job actions, on an specific kind of content be enough to discredit the actual stats they hold?

I support this request, I feel like 20k silver coins is an excessive cost for a full set when you'll want to farm multiple sets for alt jobs.

But that doesn't matter, any iLvl 700 or higher gear will have the same stats *because* it's sync'd down and the devs are expecting you to have at least that much if you are ready to go into OC, as much as Yuweyawata Field Station or Archeo Kingdom will be above and be sync'd down, and they are priced per the impact they will have to Occult Crescent rather than their overall value as gear.

The screenshots above show the stats when you are IN the instance. Body and legs do NOT give the same stats as head, hands and feet slots at the same ilevel. And, contrary to current popular belief, there is a whole wide world outside Occult Crescent where you can carry the gear to. Why should they ignore that and account only for the small impact in Occult Crescent that seems less like a bonus and more like a compensation for the loss of materia due to synching?

And, to take it even further, both Elemental armor+2 and Augmented Bozjan Armor did take into account the slot differences cost-wise even if their content also synched iLvL and they give the same bonuses, why should this set be any different?
