Make GuKu force pop

[Meyi]

0 Skins in 3 pulls isn't really bad luck. Bad luck is when it takes you 15-20 pulls before seeing a KI and you realise it would have been better to come during a less busy time and just claim the NM when no one's there than it would have spending a few hours just for a gold box. Must have been there 3 or 4 hours the other day trying to get Sobek/CC pops on 3 chars.

Word.

Our group usually goes with 160 Azure, capped Pearl, and capped Amber for Fell Cleave KI hunting. KIs are usually pretty decent. If you're having trouble with Gukumatz, maybe you could try the gold chest route.

That's what I addressed in the very post you quoted lol. Gold chest > camping Guku/Heqet during primetime. But camping guku/heqet during quiet time > gold box farming.

There's no such thing as quiet time though

[noodles355]

There is, but if you think I'm posting when it is on a public FFXI forum, then you got another thing coming.

If you would make Guku force pop, would that mean you want the other NMs to be force pop as well? You could farm golden chests for the KI, but I think force popping Guku is faster if you're intending to do only Sobek. I think the amount of time needed to obtain a Kannagi Lv.85 would be greatly reduced if you could do it that way. It would be great for me if I could help out people doing Kannagi by killing Guku a few times in a short amount of time instead of doing hours of gold chest farming or camp Guku. But that would make an empyrean weapon take less time to make and you would see more Kannagi users over shorter time and it would make creating the -1 version even more of a waste of time.

But I don't really care for such things, if I was in control every NM would be force popped and have 3 ???s to avoid congestion.

if there's like a ls group of 10 people or something stupid (cus abyssea is hard!) then I'll ask how many more they need for a timed NM, cus screw trying to outclaim 10 people.

You answered your own question there. It's not about difficulty, it's about increasing chances of getting your objective obtained quicker.

Some of us also farm multiple popsets so we can blow through them all in one go. Not everyone wants to do everything in bite-sized groups that take FOREVER to kill some of these NMs, holding things up for the rest of us.

They should just remove everything from gold chests except heqet and all 3 sobek items, then people will be happy until the next level cap increase, when everyone will realize ninja is useless again unless you're doing abyssea because ninja fails on anything remotely difficult.

Then people will bandwagon PLD again and they will all want almaces from the same group of mobs, jobs don't really matter in XI...just the current bandwagon. They nerf/boost jobs all the time, it's part of the game design.

I wasn't aware I asked a question >.>?

Is it really that bad that people like to do things with friends, especially if it happens to be more than 3? That doesn't necessarily mean they can't do it with less. No wonder XI loses new players quickly.

Btw, Quiet time in most FFXI servers is around 6-10am PST.

You can play with friends and not have 10 people on one NM.
