the good rewards of soul pyre are sqirmish parts (worth several million gils on the AH). You can't say they reward are crap lol.
You probably should stop taking for garaanted what people write on the internet. I farmed sqirmish parts in cirdas cavern during JP prime time on a Sunday (30 people in the zone, 3-4 pt farming). We were getting 3-4 soul pyre every 5 minutes, so basically 1 pyre every 4 mob. Ended up getting 3 parts in 2 hours.Quote:

04-17-2013, 10:14 AMKarbuncleI think i literally specified "Apart from Skirmish items...", Even in VW, Your sh*t loot has some NPC Value... I mean, Arrowwood Logs. ARROWWOOD. LOGS. they NPC for 1 gil. ONE. I mean, I think Mahogany is a possible Log from it, But Arrowwood shouldn't even be a considered roll >_>Quote:

I used the word apparently on purpose. Its an educated guess at best. the Maximum of 6 per zone however, is not a guess but an exact. (now, we both know where i got this information and thusly the only reason you're pointing it out.)Quote:

1) As far as one knows or can see: "the child nodded, apparently content with the promise".
2) Used by speakers or writers to avoid committing themselves to the truth of what they are saying.
Still, I agree the respawn being more than ~5min is unlikely, but you do know finding 4 pyres in kinda-a-row doesn't disprove that they might have long respawn timer, I know you are a smarter man than this? You could simply have gotten very lucky and caught 4 as they respawned... its not unlikely these things are limited in number and respawn, the entire expansion has been designed for longevity, especially Skirmish.
Sound advice, the guessing game is pretty easy, Its just like opening GoV/FoV Caskets, Just 5 guesses and can sometimes like GoV/FoV boil down to a bit of luck. Just spam it until you're bored and you should have enough for a stack or so.Quote:

If I ever get a Moko Grass, Arrowwood Log, or Flint Stone from Legion, Meebles, or VW... I think I'll concede to your point. >_>
I know all those events had really crap consolation prizes (Some which were decent until they became crap cause of overabundance of them)... But the rank of crap from these is a new tier of crap all together.
Almost sure they copy > Paste the FoV Treasure Caskets from East Saruta. -

Karby is right, at least with VW and the other events from lately you would get items which NPC for 1~3k or more, now, 1~100 gil or more. : /

04-30-2013, 04:11 AMLuvbunnyWell they are not going to adjust much based on the list of updates we got today. Seems like we are all going to have to wait till end of Summer at the very least to get some good updates. Hopefully by Dec of this year, or early next year in February... good long vacation from this game which probably all of us can use :) This way we don't have to deal with disappointment and wasted effort and just come back when most of them already adjusted. And save a few dollars in the process.Quote:

Lol @ crap tiers. "Aww I'm sorry. Looks like you had pretty bad luck and got T1 crap. I was lucky on the other hand and only had T3 crap!"

Posting this here for more visibility, got buried pretty quickly with RME talk in Discussion. Ligray linked us to a JP site interview done with 4 people from the dev team:
http://www.4gamer.net/games/005/G000546/20130501051
There was some interesting (but late) info on Skirmish segments. Basically, it sounds like there is always a constant number of Skirmish items around. Each one is flagged for a particular area and action (e.g. Logging in Ceizak). Until that piece is obtained, it will not move elsewhere. This explains why it's easy to obtain pieces quickly sometimes and it takes forever other times (you're waiting on someone to obtain one somewhere else to get it to spawn for you). So if you're farming Skirmish stuff it makes sense to just do as many different things as possible for short times each.
Edit; Sorry, Had too, Finding out that Skirmish items work this way is indeed making me laugh, that all of our crazy theories were actually driving down the right street.
