Q. You mentioned that in patch 2.1 there will be item level requirements for accessing content, but what will the requirement be for Crystal Tower?
A. We don’t plan on making it as high as the Binding Coil of Bahamut. We’re thinking about having a relic weapon be required.
What are your thoughts on this? If Crystal Tower is suppose to be for the casuals will this make them not be able to queue for it, since a lot of them have trouble getting their relic?

Personally I think its a good requirement showing you put forth some effort in your character.

Thoughts on this?
