FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[darkstarpoet1]

I guess this is pretty much where we are both left with assumptions and no clear answer. I figure they wouldn't mention you could gain tokens to buy items of lesser power than say spiked armguards, but more in reference to darklight rares. Again, all assumptions and you could be right.

well, what i am saying is that tokens can be used for a lesser version of darklight. this they have said.

they have also said that they have no plans to increase the drop rate on the actual darklight gear. if they have no intentions of raising the drop rate then that only leaves getting 3 of the other drops which are the green gear to get a 2-3 pieces per run drop rate.

all i was saying is that right now we get 3-5 drops on a run(depending on if you get sr bonus chest or the other requirements to get those chests). we do get a drop of 3-5 pieces of gear every run now, but it's the green gear nobody cares about. i expect us to get 2-3 pieces of green gear every run and every now and then we'll get a piece of darklight dropping as well. that's the same as we have now, but with 2 less chests due to doing away with 1 chest and removing the speed run chest. we'll get an additional token we can use to get a lesser version of the coveted gear each time we complete the run.

Well, according to Reinhart's translation they distinctively mention doing away with percentage based drops in favor of a timed lot system. So I naturally assumed he was speaking specifically about the actual wanted rares in the dungeon, rares like darklight.

This time in ARR FFXIV instead of having percentage drop on boss monster, we have it made so when you defeat the boss monster you will get some type of reward. Even for rare drop for each party there will be 2-3 item drops, so would like to have that go through lottery within party. But to participate in that lottery it is set for each contents to 3 times per week.

i'll look to see if i can find the community rep response on where they asked for increased drop rates on specifically darklight items. i remembered seeing the response say they felt the darklight drops were find and had no intention or increasing them. we also have to remember even though nobody really likes the green gear it is classified as rare gear so you would still be getting a "rare drop" even if it was only green gear..

This is correct, they said they have no intention on raising the drop rate however iirc they were saying to "wait and see" since they're probably expecting the new loot systems to take care of things.

New loot system or not isnt gonna change or fix the drop rate on darklight at all.

Yes they said they won't higher the current system right now, but the system will be different in 2.0 so....

so you assume it goes from 2% drop rate now to 100% drop rate after........ that doesn't make sense. i wouldn't be opposed on some increase on darklight drop rates, but don't want to see it anywhere near 100%.
