9 Coke required now? (or other)

[AlahnSiegrain]

No thanks. In ffxi when abyssea started dropping all the end game mats, economy went to shit

And atm its WAI right?

Lol, dont think everyone is able to sell runs/buy gil/be a good trader. Atm the prices for 'usefull' 2 star = 1m. A 'normal' rank 50 DoW atm has like 300-500k, and thats if he managed to save a lot. Even if they did have 1m, would you use 100% of your gil for one item? And even if you did, is that a balanced economy?

Those mats should be droppable, or have a different token for em or smthg, else those items will only be for:
1. rich crafters
2. Run sellers
3. RMT users

The cost is just not in line with what you get for it.
Equipment which requires 3375 tomestones for 1 piece is a joke.

Let every armor and weapon require 9 materials but not more, accessories 4-5 materials and reduce the cost from 125 to 60-70 Tomestones per material.
And give trash mobs in dungeons a chance to drop these materials or a small number of Tomestones.

I also hope we will get some craftable ilvl90 gear in one of the next updates.

I also hope crafters receive equal attention in upcoming updates, as in non-housing, combat-related crafts.

There was no mention of adjusting this tomestone crafting system in 2.05. However, the difficulty and tome yield adjustments should increase supply, while the spiritbond adjustment means that ilvl 70 gear, including 2-star, will become bound outside of Coil, which should decrease supply.

Do we think prices will drop or rise following the patch?

If you read this devs please don't change the recipes. You already have made everything so easy and fast there is nothing left to do but make these....

I will be making an NQ vanya robe when they come out with vanity slots. That is all. ^^

Autofollowing my tank while my fairy literally solo heals AK and I play rune factory 4 or pokemon X on my 3ds isn't "hard". I only have to actually play for the bosses, which is less than 5 mins total per run and runs are like ~23 mins.

@Shiyo, if you would DPS, it would go faster
On topic, prices for HQ Vanya now is 3x lower than last week.
Which for me, is a good sign.

They need to fix the pants recipes. There is no reason why pants should cost twice as much as everything else.

Other than that, I don't see the need to fix the 9 item requirement because it's pretty obvious that they implemented it this way to force players to actually trade with each other/buy off AH instead of trying to be self-sufficient. These kinds of gear are expensive because you can get them without actually running dungeons. Someone with a lot of gil (who knows how they earned it, maybe a fulltime crafter who doesn't bother with dungeons) could just buy the armor off the AH and call it a day.

Crafted gear w/ full Materia meld is actually either just as good, or slightly better than, BC gear at the moment.

So if you have a lot of money to blow, or a lot of time to grind it out, it's a worthwhile investment, because you're pretty much NEVER going to replace any of it. ESPECIALLY the accessories, which actually OUTCLASS BC gear when fully melded.

How come?

Are there any sets out there done that would show how crafted gear is actually better or the same as AF2/Allagan? Even with someone elses idea for melded Vanya vs DL it was barely enough to say "it's better". I get kinda confused with the materia caps so I'm not sure what the optimal scenario would be, but if anyone can provide an example of crafted vs DL or BC it would be better than just saying "it's better! really".

Everything you said is completely wrong except for accessories which are only a survivability increase and not a DPS or healing increase increase.
