10000 plutons seems too extreme to upgrade relics

It's also a lot more tedious depending on how much you hate running around, because just about everything invovling ADL is a Rare/EX item. I personally would take the leisure of doing some High Level Battlefields every night as opposed to having to run around Xarcabard that much. Same goes for running around Aht Urhgan for Pandaman and Riftitems aren't even worth mentioning, only an insane person would want to do Morta etc that many times.

That and at least there's a little bit of variety in content with plutons/etc, plus you might be able to help an LS friend get some equipment they wanted while you're doing it, etc. (I'm sure by the time I finish one weapon I'll get to see Gyve Doublet drop once)

ya i agree it is too much a grind u should change it to were u have to trade all 5 of the souveran +1 set to get the upgrade...
ya id take 10k plutons tyvm

I actually like the grind. However, the variety of content is going to get stale soon and the supply is going to be a lot shittier after this campaign ends. Plus I don't like feeling the pressure to grind grind grind because I know the additional RME drop slot is only temporary. Make it permanent and add drops to more content.

Make a bunch of the campaigns permanent. Chain EXP/CP for one. Why bother making players only have 7-30 days at a time to do X content. High Tier Battlefields will be spammed for a week and then only people that didn't get their REM weapons upgraded during the event will spam them regularly. Same thing happens with VoidWatch and Neo Nyzul. People only really do them during the event. Otherwise it's grind grind grind because of the EXP/CP chain. If the campaigns were constant (or had a regular schedule), it'd ease the pressure of spamming something.

10,000 of anything is absurdly obnoxious.

If it was 10,000 earth crystals it would STILL be annoying as hell. Let alone a specific item that only drops from "now old content". Christ forbid you have more than 1, best of luck.

I think they picked 10,000 based on their market value at the time and just assumed it wouldn't go up that much. Stacks of plutons actually sold for 3 million gil on my server today. Seriously at that point why wouldn't you just do marrows they are basically the same price only they don't clog up your inventory. I still can't believe people are paying that much for items that went for 50k a stack before the update.

Anyway the solution is simple don't buy at these prices. After a few weeks of having their junk rocks mailed back to them the prices will go down. Til then just save up your money or farm them yourself.

At that price i'd definitely rather spam dynamis X.

It would be to each their own in that case then. I can personally only grind Merits and Merit fights so much. Dynamis isn't much better, but that was my point really... both are tedious but I'd say "easier" probably goes to 250 marrows.

Yeah... Though I'd probably prefer the words "probably less time consuming" over "easier." I bought all my marrows for the non-afterglow and have never actually done ADL. But if you're really dedicated and do dynamis all day long, I'd wager 250 marrows takes less time than 10000 plutons. For Empyreans on the other hand, 10k stones is far and away easier.

Makes me wonder what would be less time consuming, 10k beitetsu or 60 scoria, farming ZNM for PW pops 30-60 times would take quite a while.
