Code:

パッチ2.1にて、アラガントームストーン：哲学を「1125より多く消費する」レシピを、
すべて1125に揃える修正を予定しています。

現在のレシピは一定の基準で設定したものですが、サービス開始後の皆さんの
プレイ状況などをを考慮して調整することにしました。

As of Patch 2.1, all Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy recipes requiring more than 1125 Tomes will be adjusted to only require 1125 Tomes.

Everything about the recipes alone were fine, but considering all of the new additions with the upcoming release, we took player expenses into consideration and made adjustments as we saw fit.

Anything requiring 18 or 27 mats should be dropping down to only taking 9.

Fucking FINALLY. Most of it will still be too expensive, really. But at least the most absurd shit (3375 tomes for DRG trousers ha ha ha no) will be fixed.

**Deathbringer** · 2013-11-29 13:13

Yes! Stalling out on buying those items finally paid off >.>

**Lucavi** · 2013-11-29 13:18

Cool. I'll pick up Vanya for my healer at this point.

**Crizto** · 2013-11-29 14:07

Cool stuff

This is an example of change that shouldn't take 4 months to happen, and should be hotfixed in after a few weeks after release.

it's not a hotfix, but rather planned gimping down the difficulty. As they say, with them adding Crystal Tower gear, it might not be even worth making->melding philo gear.

What else will you spend the philos you get while you're farming your still-relevant myth stones? Darklight? Gimp.

Crystal tower will be dropping both Philo and Myth if I'm not mistaken? I didn't see stats on that CT gear, but Philo crafted gear might become as relevant as AK gear is now versus Darklight. Time will show.

SE purposely increased the mat requirement before release because we didn't have CT among other things.

I dunno, some melded accessory are pretty neat even compared to level 90 stuff.

Heavy Darklight Body/Legs each fill 2 equipment slots for 9 philo mats each.

Vanya Trousers fill 1 slot and need 27 philo mats.

Don't act like this was "balance" or well thought out, at all.

Exactly what I meant, this was a bad balance decision that wasn't intended and should have been hotfixed after a few weeks.

I never said it was either but that doesn't mean it wasn't intended. The Devs specifically mentioned that it was done to "better balance the longevity of the existing content".

I'm pretty sure that was in response to the 9 philo tomes per 2-star ingredient, not that it took 2 or 3 of those ingredients for a single item. The 2/3 ingreds per item thing is just plain dumb.

**Niiro** · 2013-11-30 00:12

Weren't the mats previously 100 philos each in an earlier version as well?

**Rocl** · 2013-11-30 01:51

The tome cost was increased between like Phase 4 and EA wasn't it?

Like shit only took 1 tome ingredient instead of 9?

**Datonare** · 2013-11-30 09:49

Yeah Phase 4 was 100 tokens and I believe only took 2 mats per ingot/cloth/whatever
