  1. The extreme should drop weekly augments along with 1 of 2 augmentations. Get the second for your tome weapon so you can upgrade it twice if you haven't augmented it yet.

    Just lower the tome prices after 8 weeks and I see this as a excellent avenue for psuedo BiS. Ultimate players may gripe but the hardest part about gear has always been the weapon, so I feel this is better than people give it credit for.
    Remember, your books count down now. So those books you were getting for that weapon? Use it to get savage gear if you can.

  2. Wow, I didn't realize just how badly the try on window breaks effects on some of those weapons until you mentioned it. From what I saw looking for screenshots the paladin one should have these spinning galaxy looking effects along the spiral that makes it look less static, but they don't appear in the preview at all.

  3. My complaints about Savage rewards: 1.) The weapon is literally a copy/paste of savage raid weapon stats. They could have made these different high sub stat weapons, but no they didn't. 2.) There is only the weapon tome upgrade if you have 660 weapon after getting upgrade item from savage raids (currently) 3.) These are not Alternatives to Savage raid or Ultimate weapons. You still have to do savage raid (currently), the stats are the same as savage 665, and Ultimate weapons usually either have a 3rd sub stat or up to 3 materia slots.

    I still think they need to change this content up and make it so the Normal Mode gives you upgrade items for 660 tome gear, and that the Savage tier needs to flat out give the weapon or let you bypass needing the 660 item to get the 665 upgrade. The difficulty:reward ratio is still too far off to make this content really worth doing over Savage Raids, and should honestly be an alternative way to upgrade tome gear.

    Due to this, I still feel that they shouldn't waste time doing the dungeons beyond the solo content of it simply cause they aren't giving the right rewards for doing the more challenging versions.

  4. I haven't even touched criterion normal for any of the dungeons yet cause I just don't care about the rewards. I could go back and do ASS or Another Rokkon because my ilevel eclipses the max of when those were released but… I just have no desire, and I have no desire to do Another Aloalo. I get to see all the cool stuff and get the rewards I want from the variant version.

    Now, if I could get some damn ilevel 660 gear in there… maybe.

  5. For dawntrail, I really hope they put in normal criterion a gear reward that equals upgraded tome Armor. Just close to no one is currently doing criterion outside of premades and streamer.

  6. I had never thought about a roulette for variant, that would be amazing, such a good idea, lets hope they do it by DT
    MY thoughts on criterion is… just give us tomestone upgrade matts for normal and keep giving the shiny wep for savage, they are plenty difficult already, i feel like those are good rewards, and they dont have to break their heads with it

  7. This content just seems to be stuck in a loop of missing the mark.
    All I know is I'm never going to get these weapons.Too much anxiety about tackling anything above normal content (hell normal content is anxiety inducing).

  8. How would you feel if C-Savage dropped the Savage books? Time the release so that it's after a few weeks of savage, but before unlimited savage and time the three criteron dungeons to match each of the 3 waves of savage.

    Pro-savage is savage.
    Con-unlimited early.

  9. If they just added armor glam to the other two savage reward pools, or hell the roborant and twine to normal criterion it might be a decent alternative to the savage grind. I think they are afraid of making the 8 man savage irrelevant if they hand out too much in Criterion because whichever is easier will become the norm for players to do and ONE instance is less than 4.. Still utterly foolish but damn.

  10. At the point when Criterion Normal comes out i would say fuck the Savage Raiders and give Criterion the Upgrade Material including Weapon Upgrade. 4 Months after a released tier no one should care if anyone gets an upgrade for a non first week or Savage Pug Group. Its so stupid to lock 4 Man Content to 8 Man Gear which are having already Ultimates. Instead we got a potential good 4 man Content which then of course caters to Raiders again.

  11. I wouldn’t mind BLU umbrella being amongst the weapons you can use an ester on if it actually gained some stats on top since it looks like it puts the other weapons on par with the Ultimate ones, but using an ester just for a glow and no other benefit because you inevitably meld the BLU weapon for the stats you want is kinda sad.

  12. having content locked behind raiding that not everyone is interested is stupid. ppl can choose to skip Raids but dungeons is something casuals are interested in. i see that as they are forcing ppl into content they dont give a F about….
