To me, the big thing with either of that (or other would-be-nice approaches) is how readily they can be implemented into the game.

Offering an All Jobs cape fits into what's already there. They don't need to rework the slip system to account for duplicates and augments, or find a way to add 22 more wardrobes without it taking five minutes to load after zoning. They just put a 23rd cape on the list, and let players sort out what they want to do with it.
I get peoples' point about it, but min/maxxing people will still keep the majority of the capes they have. if it was only about conserving inventory, people would already be using 1 or 2 less capes per job already. most of the time there is minimal difference between a da and an stp cape, yet people go and make both for some jobs. or a dex and 30 acc cape instead of just using 30 dex / 20 acc which also works on their dex ws.

it would really only let me play jobs i don't care about better, but i don't care about them to begin with.

When content stagnates the way it has in the past 4 years, all we're left with is min/maxxing. Not really too surprising.


We can just toss all our REMA's?? amirite feelsbadman.jpg

naaah, zero feel-bads about it, not even a single second. I never played it well, and now I'm never on a job I hate. Inventory+4 and happiness....win-win.

I mean it was a dig on ya BUT can give you space and something to do!

Needs more REMA boomerangs. Throwing skill is such a huge waste of anything besides daken, even then not a make or break sort of feature.

I guarantee you will be demolished by a nin with Daken than without Daken

honestly- no. I just leveled a job I never should have, but felt the need if I was going to level it do to so completely.

No need to draw out this side-derail, but I did feel the need to make sure the last comment on it didn't imply "bad leadership" among the shells I have the luxury of running with over the past 2 years.

Min/Maxers are the ones who need/want an All Jobs Cape the most.

Most of the capes' base stats are pointless in an idle set. So most jobs can share one idle cape. That's potential for a good number of inventory +1s all by itself.

A good number of jobs don't gain anything at all from the base stats in weaponskills, and also don't really gain anything/much for TP phase. These jobs could probably share TP/WS Capes: WHM, RDM, BST, NIN, SMN, GEO, BLM, DRK, BRD, SCH.

Some jobs you get on, and the only thing you're likely to ever Fast Cast is probably Utsusemi or something like a self-cast Warp.

And even if you lose 0.5 to 1% DPS by sharing a cape between two jobs compared to having their own cape, it could be the difference of if you even have a cape available for a job or not due to priorities in your cape building process or your priorities for what you really care to do with that job.

Will the Abyssea campaign make it easier for me to farm Apademak pops from chests? Well not the KI itself, more like the mats needed to pop Dhorme Khimaira.

Whenever I see a special dial campaign I get the feeling a return home campaign is due.

Pretty sure there will be one in time for this.

Yeah but its Red/Blue chest galore. You literally want 50-75 amber and 150+ Pearl for Apa spam.

You can always just AH them however.

Its the border limit where KIs are rare (the real minimum is half max but abyssites cuts that minimum to around 80).

Tbf i dont think there is any solid evidence that the item drops takes that noticeable drop. I believe people just assume KIs takes place of solid items.

But at lower gold limit there also less gold pyxies spawned.

I believe at the end of the day, should be basically the same

It's the magic number for farming stuff like boots and and Sisyphus Fragments.

Anymore and you start getting too high tier gold chests and any azure and ruby light makes those chests more likely to spawn instead of gold chests.

Frags and such drop from T3 gold chests iirc and that light range makes all chests 2-4 i think. Something like that. Our abyssea box data is sparse and scattered.

It also depends on your gold chest KI too.

I tend to stick at 32 amber for pop items like Sissy Frags. But also ebon will overcap you eventually.

Once your amber gets too high the pop items like Sis Frags start to get rare. You get lots of augmented items and KIs instead.

If your amber/ebon gets too high, you won't see them at all. Only small gold chests drop Sissy Frags.

Yes, and if you one-shot mobs they give no lights. You can use this to your advantage.

Pretty much.

Even then, KI chests are still pretty rare. You might go 3-5 full area clears before you see a KI chest, and it still might be the one you don't want.
