99 Empyrean Trials.

I've just finished checking every bazaar I could find in Ru'lude (171 people in the zone atm) and I found ONE person selling HMP for under 130k. One. Single. Person. He had 2 plates. There might be as few as 10 people bazaaring plates here in total.

130k isn't a lot in itself but it sure as hell adds up fast.

Yeah, I love how Camate covered NOTHING we was asking about. CIRCULATION of HMP.

Reps here rarely reply to us, they just translate what the JP devs reply to the similar topic on the JP forum. Only way you will get a reply to that is if it's brought up in the JP post and a reply is translated.

To be fair though it's painfully obvious what is going on, they made stage 1 and 2 the same items to create cockblocks, the HMP numbers are to make them harder to complete seeing as they are easier to make. Everything they have done is by design and with as many hurdles and cockblocks in place to lower the amount of completed weapons as possible.

Perfect, perfect answer as was said was to make stage 2 kills and stage 1 items. That way peope working on stage 2 could make alliances and let people join to freelot the items, they won't do that because it would make it easier to get them done and they don't want that. They don't want a large portion of us to ever complete these weapons, read that and take it to heart because it's the truth, they consider it would be unbalanced for us to all have the final upgrades so they make sure a massive portion won't ever have it at that level.

It is kind of sad that they've put so much effort into content that's only successful if almost no one can complete it. It's especially sad when they do so when their manpower and resources are at such a premium. At least the rest of us have Neo-Nyzul... oh... wait...

If I finish a Stage 2 weapon in five years, it basically means I might make the other guy playing FFXI a little jealous. And I spent five years on a meaningless upgrade. But at least then, I can bust out some champagne, a square of sandpaper and a bottle of acetone and go to town over my afterglow effect.

^ this.
and ROFL

Yes please waste your tags then tell me the best way to get the gear. Although I suppose it's still another luck based cockblock.

Don't mine her. She has a large bee up her butt and can't see straight. Help her find Camate's post in this thread that included the relics.
