FFXIV Upcoming Patch Information 2.3 (July 8)

[Kaslo]

People wanting it for vanity? For their retainers?

I wasn't aware there was a crowd after the current ilvl 70 gear to actually use it.

I use it on my SCH until I randomly get coil drops (spec'd for SMN)

[Lokus]

i still haven't done Copperbell Hard Mode.

have Oils drop at the same rate as Baby Opo-opo in the new dungeons, that should solve it.

People will find the fastest of the new dungeons and spam that for the theoretical Oils, making it the new AK/WP/Brayflox thus making the cycle repeat where each patch has one super efficient dungeon and "Do it once" dungeons.

[chichicha]

How did you guys get Atma so fast?!
I was even trying the JP time theory and yet 3/12 for the rest of my life...

No thanks. There comes a point when a droprate is so low you have no motivation to actively farm for it. Primal mounts, opo opo and (if you're smart) Leviathan mirrors for example.

It's all chance. That said, I don't think you'll find too many people that said they got it "fast". I may be up to 29 Atmas now, but my actual personal Atma drop rate is only slightly over 2%.

Why is it that every time they announce the month for a content update its always the last fucking day of the month. Been waiting for 2.28 to come out because i'm too lazy for the myth farm right now.

What get me about 2.28, is I'm almost certain they announced it was supposed to be released at the BEGINNING of May. Not the end, lol.

[Nama]

Feels to me like 2.28 got pushed back cuz of animus nonsense that or the pvp changes took longer then expected. Hope patch is little bit bigger to compensate, think they pushed up few things from 2.3 but can't remember what it was.

Well, beginning of May WAS the pushback, it was originally scheduled for the end of March.

People will want i80 gear to fill in empty slots for alts, retainers and to trade in for seals. I have 4 retainers and whilst the usage rate has gone down now they're all 50, I still get through quite a few seals a day. I still see a lot of people out there in the new i70 gear, or at least pieces of it. People don't get to 50 and immediately pop at ilvl 70 either. They have to hit 72-75 for Coil. Dungeons are less terrifying if you're new or don't know a big group of people. I've spammed a lot of Coil but need to go back for more gear because I have bad luck with caster drops. Casual peeps are far more likely to be working on Zodiac weapons and not have access to Coil v2 or Leviathan so will be using their myth tomes for books.

If you've capped out your crafting classes there isn't much incentive to trade crafting mats for seals either. Dunno, there will always be a market for suboptimal gear, if nothing else it will help you gear to be able to access or usefully contribute in higher level content. CT is a prime example of this. Even though myth and Allagan gear was out there, a lot of people grabbed CT gear for secondary classes, alts and retainers.

Huh? No it wasn't... Animus upgrade was always planned for 2.5 and was pushed back to 2.28. The actual updates were never moved around only the content within.

[Sho]

So right, this guy. The droprates are abysmal, and only the dedicated or truly lucky go for this type of stuff after a while.

[Lyall]

I'm still 0/infinite on the fucking Tonberry pet. I check out when it comes to 1% drops requiring a time investment. Being fucked by dice isn't fun.

no wonder their so expensive even if theirs a dozen up for 350K+.

I was like...zomg a pet...zomg must go sell... zomg that price!

[Niiro]

Doing boarskin maps almost every day since maps came out (in the beginning I did peistes for a while when people actually did maps) and I've gotten 1!

That's a poor example tho since there's reason to do the maps outside of that 1 silly low drop rate item, unlike something like Levi EX which has virtually no purpose aside from the mirror.

You say that and I'm 0/50 on just seeing a SMN book

[Grey Jorildyn]

Took me around 55 attempts to get my tonberry minion. Got a second in around a dozen attempts thereafter. Such crap rng.

[Lyall]

Earned my 20 Boarskin Maps achievement on Feb20. I haven't missed a day since. MY BOAT WILL COME IN, DAMMIT. SOMEDAY. My... train will come in? MY ZEPPELIN, SHE COMETH.

the point wasn't to actively farm for it, the point was you put that in the new dungeons and some people would do those for Soldiery until they cap instead of endless Bray runs.

how else do you make the 3 new dungeons better than sub 10 min Bray runs? how short are the new dungeons suppose to be or are they suppose to be 30 mins and give 200 myth and 150 Soldiery each?

[arus2001]

"Put shit in people will want and can get..." seems like a good start for making content viable. But I guess we still have to overcome that side of the population that believes people shouldn't have nice things regardless of reasonable effort.
