Just wanted to know why can't these items be given as a very rare reward through some form of high-level battle content? I am sure there is a logical explanation, but it's unfortunate that these items are only available through Mog Bonanza.

P.S. I wonder if there is a chance any of these coming from Gobbie Mystery Box.

I think the point is that you have a 1/99999 chance of winning it in Mogbonanza, slightly more chance if you buy lots of marbles, but its a very very low chance and this is intentional.

It is intentional because other people have already gone out and spent countless hours farming HMP, bayld, etc. It wouldn't be fair on those people if you could suddenly just do some high level battle and obtain the same results in a week or something, the same results that took those other people a year or more of grind.

I could be wrong, but this seems like the reasoning behind their system.

They are worth far too much to be a reward from high level content or otherwise.

There are more legendary weapons around than ever because more and more people are farming Alexandrite/etc. The market price is constantly dropping. There's no need to make it even easier/cheaper.

Yeah that's like saying why can't high level content drop 100 mil lol

I've said it before, but I honestly think legendary class weapons are far too ubiquitous as is and that harms the average or casual player much more than it helps them. As much as I'd love to snag a "free" RME I don't think making them even more common is a good for the game at all.

They're not as ubiquitous as you think, just because you probably know somebody who has one doesn't mean everybody has one. They're not as hard to get as they once were (at least, relic and mythic) but they still take a long time and you cant make one overnight unless you've got a few hundred mil in your pocket.

You and I live in different realities then. Does everyone have one? No, but they're by no means the rare, special type of item they were originally intended to be. They're just common enough to be a problem for those who don't have one, but not so common that everyone can get one.

relics are incredibly easy to get. if you farm dyna every day for like a month you can make one. i wouldn't call a month a long time for a legendary weapon.

Relics are like 70-100mil gil right now, at least on Asura, and Mythics are 210-240mil. Neither come close to "a few hundred million gil."

If you put forth the effort to farming the items needed or the money, you can get the money required quite quickly. From there, relics are basically done, but Mythics will take a fair amount of effort doing the daily stuff. It took me about 3 weeks to get all the Alexandrite for my mythic, which means I could've made around 3 relics if I spent the money towards relics (and actually did dynamis, because I didn't do it once).

Naw, just a couple hundred mil.

I'd say 60-90 mil under your estimate is not close (practically a relic's worth of gil over).

To be fair it's more like 90~110M gil once you add in marrows which you're not using any Relics without them, I priced all the relics on Fenrir this morning and got 70~90Mil before Marrows, and 20M for marrows, that is still a far cry from 200M, but, still, at 100M and at most players farming about 1M/Hour, that's still 100 hours worth of averagely efficient farming, which is still no small chore, and Relics being BY FAR the cheapest of the REME options.
