Confirming my post above: it is not a rumor anymore.
I killed umarghkr (researcher emeritus boss). The NPC allows me to buy the 5 sub-bosses's KIs with gil. This means 1 boss every day if you have the money, 1 boss per week other wise ( farm TH boons > kill it).
Completing all missions with goal 3 also gives you 5 more items for purchase to the NPC ( for 70k ~ 100k research marks).
Meeble Burrows... why 20 hours?

What is said cost?
-

1 million gil for all five KIs (per character). The mane is probably 100% drop rate and will be multi-million item (forgot what it is crafted into but I remember people saying its the best in slot item for something).

Most people think like that actually, soon as new content comes out they spam it like crazy till they have everything they want, then stand in PJ complaining about lack of content. With meeble you cant spam it everyday, and thats why some people are upset.(i want it now syndrome)

right now I like the progression in it. Sure the first time you need 25 pheromon sacks (20 days) to access the final boss. After that you can do it at your own pace.
-Either take another 3 week to pop it: costs zero gil, but it costs you time. You will have all the boons if you rotate your books among the party, including TH+2 and bonus to spoil. The NM will also be a joke due to the DD boons (higher level of DA, mvt speed, 10/tic regain or so, 20/tic refresh...).
-either only farm some boons (1 week): TH, bonus to spoil[doing that also gives yo u refresh and regain].
-either pop it every day: nobody knows wtf bonus to spoil does anyway. He is a joke with embrava or a bard and regen V. -
10-23-2012, 02:18 PMLlana_VirrenSeriously? Last I checked that's why people complaining about how NNI is borked get called "gimp" by the 15/15 crew. This is an MMO. There are ALWAYS people who want gear first and for it to me as exclusive as possible.Quote:

10-23-2012, 02:59 PMDemon6324236Been a while, but last time I looked there was no R/EX gear I was wanting from WoE either, unlike Meebles. In my opinion, thats the 1 thing NNI did right, it made it so if you could win, you got something, it was R/EX, but it was something for everyone. Meeble Burrows drop rates may or may not be good, I have no idea, if they are bad drop rates with a 5 day cool down, we have a problem. If they are good drop rates(20~50%+) then were good. My problem is that with a 20 hour cooldown time per 1 sack, max of 5, and low drop rates, that the gear becomes just another annoying grind. The game is supposed to be fun, and I admit, MB is fun the 1st few times, but if I had to spam it 15 times each mission for a tier to see 1 drop I want... the fun is lost after the 3rd~4th run, and becomes nothing more than another annoying VW.Quote:

Welcome to the new and improved FF where they treat us like a bunch of gerbil and hamsters and forced us to spin the wheel faster and faster with 0.0000001% reward ratio on events just to stretch it further and further and further. The game went from being totally AWESOME with Abyssea and turned into a big huge steaming pile of turd lately. Yes there are still some great activities to be had, but most of the newer contents are pretty much stale revision. Don't even bother hoping for any better content with the next expansion, if this is the direction the new team is going, we may as well cancel our subscription for good.

I am not talking about how fast you can consume the contents, it's all different for everyone. The adjustment to dynamis is great, it gives everyone a chance to complete relic weapon of their choice, the 2 hours daily limit is acceptable. The same goes to abyssea contents, which to this day is still fairly popular to most people, and just refuse to die due to empy weapons and gears. A lot of the tweaks they did with Voidwatch is also good. They did release a vision statement awhile ago where they plan to release new contents with harder difficulty and then adjusting it over time so that all players should be able to complete and accessible to all. This is great idea, it gives the hardcore first chance to gloat and test it for accomplishment and be the first to have gears, and then make everyone else has the same chance to obtain the gears. Unfortunately the good efforts stopped somewhere after May 2012, everything else forward are just basic updates and empty promises, and now strings of bad news after another.

Evenin' meeble explorers,
Just to let you know, we are planning to increase the maximum stock of Moblin pheromone sacks to 10 when we add the next expedition. On top of that, there won’t be any special requirements; it will just increase when we implement the expedition. Also, we would like to make the maximum stock increase to 15 by using points.
We are planning to make other adjustments as well so that parties can easily be formed without getting caught up on requirements. As one possible idea, we are looking into making it so if you fulfill all three objectives for an expedition, you won’t have to start with expedition one afterwards and can participate immediately. However, when it comes to defeating the boss, we will be looking at other ways to ease this so that it cannot just be repeated over and over again.
Finally, the development team will be doing their best to expand the variations of expedition objectives to make it even more enjoyable! -

i think it mean you can choose any expedition you fulfilled goal3 regardless progress on your book (only usefull if you farm extra path boons)
-
10-30-2012, 05:04 PMMonchat
fix the damn glicth on boss battles where boons are not given to anyone in the pt, because right now boons are pretty much useless... and it happens very often.
-
10-30-2012, 05:12 PMDemon6324236
Think of it this way, if you do Adjunct 1, and get all objectives, when you goto do Adjunct 2 you wont have to bother with Adjunct 1 anymore, but can do it if you want.

Ran Meeble Borrows a lot the other night with a group, and it was really fun : )
I support any and all methods to simplify this content though. Trading an item, getting 2 key items, setting objective, making sure all six people have appropriate prior clears, and enough pheremones... it's fine if you have a static group but 1 person has one less sack and no means to get another so the whole group either has to move on without that person or decide to not go at all.
Aside from that, looking forward to additions to this and tweaks to make it more enjoyable, it certainly is fun :) -

Oh btw the "bug" where you don't get boons on the boss seems to not be a bug. And bonus to spoil on the final boss seems to do nothing. Can't be more accurate because of the 1/day pheromon.
-
11-01-2012, 12:56 AMInfidiIs it just some buffs or something ? Never heard of it happening till I saw in this thread.Quote:

It happens on the final Boss Umarghk (I didn't notice if it happens on lesser bosses). If you farm Boons before attempting it, there is a 50% chance they wont be loaded when you enter. Apparently the glitch only happens when PT members trade different books. In any case I'm dont with this boss now, after spending millions of gils to get the item I wanted... finally got what we wanted. The Abateur subligars is ~5% drop rate and at 3~6 Million OR 25 pheromons (3 weeks) per pop, it sucks. Its safe to say that Bonus to spoil is useless too: either it doesnt load, or if it loads it does nothing.

Do you get none of the boons, or do you at least get the leader's boons?
-
11-01-2012, 09:15 AMMonchat
nothing, no icon, speleological book says no boon.

11-02-2012, 08:16 PMhikonotice it on Silagilith too, had leader trade book with extra boons and only got Assistant's boonsQuote:

Can't help you fix this on final boss because I'm done with the drops I need so I won't spend more gil at it, but the last time we managed "boss+ bonus to spoil boon", we had TH7 and only got 1 armor, the crappy torque. However we got 3 mats instead of 2 ><. It seems to work if you use the same book on everyone but it's unclear if only one or all member need bonus to spoil. And it doesn't seem to do anything so.. This boss seems to only be "throw gil at it" if you want one of the rarest items.
