First Ever Double Capacity Point Campaign! (04/17/2014)Follow

Pass. "Better grind now, it's not a 100% guarantee that we're just adding more trash. Can you take that chance?"

yeah I am probably going to force myself out to grind at least 1 or 2 upgrades. Spell points are worth it. will still be horrid.

Do you have to go to the moogle to trade in the capacity points? If so that's nonsense.

Yeah has to be higher level stuff - and extra exp from stuff like GOV doesn't count.

Can get points in dyna and meebles (not many) and Skirmish.

There are some higher level GOV and FOV mobs though if you wanted the buffs or w/e

Yeah, I don't even care about this one bit.

Double the amount of an already sh*tty CP yield is still a sh*tty yield.

The yield needs to be something closer to 10x of its current value at *least* before it would become something I'd bother logging in and making an effort toward.

It sounds like they don't have enough content in the Job Point area so they are putting these barriers in place for a reason.
Once they are set with the stat increases for each job they would/should implement the following:

*Throw away the job rule so you can use the points on whatever you like.
* Don't limit JP's to higher level mobs so you can start urning them from 75+ like merits.
(This will include FoV/GoV back in to the equasion so you can also farm sparks at the same time.)
*Automatically start urning JP's once EXP and Merits are capped.
*Make the requirements for unlocking each JP stat lower so it's less grindy and more fun.

I don't think they will change all of it based on my suggestions above but making content that most people don't use seems a bit silly to me.
At the moment it just isn't worth it to even bother. (Even after adding double points during a limited period.)

The double cap. points was kind of ..meh I also agree with almost all talk about the disporportion between exp, cp, and the near endless grinding for each job that needs them.

I'd rather they change it so we can choose to get only capacity points at the exclusion of merrits and as a "%" based on the amount of exp we get from that mob. A cap point only setting based on a 30% of exp per mob would be alot better considering the levels and exp gained off these mobs. They can add gear or effects that cost merrits to boost it to 50% ~ 60% of what would have been exp or limmit points per mob. Then the only issue would be switching back to merrits /exp to keep from going below 99 or needing to re build merrits. Not to mention expanding the range and ways to farm them. Abyssea is still a decent place to alliance farm exp/merrits for some odd reason but not so much out side reives delve and somtimes skirmish.

From what I can tell if all Job points can be farmed to 10/10 per job. Does the cost per level increase by 1 or does it along the lines of the cost of merrit points? An increase of 1 will cost 55 job points to cap one category and at 30,000 cp that's 1,650,000 cap points needed. The max we can have is 200 job points at a total of 6,000,000. Depending on how many categories we get in the end.. that is alot, and soloing on the low end 83 ~100 per mob is time consumingly insane. Especially if it's just for one job. Hell I'll even say let us go to capacity points only and let us farm them from Lair, Colony and Wilds keeper reives. As a percentage of what we would have gotten in exp. Right now it seems to be the only real mass form of farming in the Adoulin areas.

Or as an alternative, they should allow us to convert an amount of Merrits into cap points or directly into Job Points. That alone would speed things up as we could keep farming anything, anywhere Abyssea. Then merrit dump into Job points. It'll probably help the folks on odd jobs like bard, whm, rdm, geo, cor, dnc run, & ninjas.. Lord knows how much tools ninjas need to keep shadows up in groups farming cap. points in adoulin.

The thing is... its been what? 4 years since 75 wasn't the level cap anymore? For all intents and purposes, 75 is a meaningless arbitrary number now. It has no relevance or correlation with the current game other than it used to be the level cap way back when. Yet, people still clamor for that being the demarcation of endgame content. It doesn't make sense. 99 is the level cap now, people should stop asking for content to revolve around level 75.

I like the concurrent cap point generation. I don't want another system that I have to toggle to generate points on. They are making strides to increase the amount of job points earned and now we are going to have chain bonuses. I want to be able to earn merit points and cap points at the same time. I don't want one or the other.

that depends on what job you are on. BLU has already been mentioned with an addition 10 spell points. Cor also has 2 nice options with enhanced roll durations and 10% chance to have wild card reset your own wild card. Thf has a really nice sneak attack adjustment. Sch also has a nice augment to regen spells.

Earn* it's spelled "earn". An urn is a pot you put things in, like a plant. Sorry but that was driving me nuts.
