New 99 trials

I'm fine with this. With the small number needed I imagine people will farm ADL and sell for around 10 million gil each. Each ADL kill would be guaranteed 10-20 million gil.

10x20=200 million gil. This is attainable for most players that already have a relic.

We know it's attainable, and we know people will do it (hell people were shouting to buy the stuff as soon as it was leaked/dat mined). It would of just been nice if they added a trial we could take part in, like kill counts or something instead of buying the crap off mercs or rmt.

Oh well, a handful of people are going to get very rich from this. Hopefully they can find a good RMT site to sell all the gil on.

Somehow I can't see people farming Arch Dynamis Lord for the purpose of selling the upgrade item. If so, it's going to be sold for a lot more than 20mil. Otherwise I'd say it simply won't be worth it, and each person in the alliance would make more doing less work by farming currency.

I know many people still want Shadow Gear, Archon Gear and Sagasinger, so it isn't quite "18 people fighting for 1 person" as there are other drops to go around. Nevertheless, I take issue with SE's misleading statement that the trials will be accessible by the majority of the playerbase. Only large LS's do ADL, and the mob is not susceptible to PUGs.

If they added VW final tier mobs that are DL and PW clones it could work I guess.. lol

On the bright side, we now know that SE isn't trolling any one job or event but they're trolling everyone.

At least it's BALANCED now. Everyone gets trolled on.

i'm sure this is in retaliation to certain players getting a lot of attention for saying the game was "too-easy" with [A]

you can thank them <3

10M for a marrow is just not enough. The price is more fair at 18-20M which would mean 400M to finish a 99 which is more than getting a relic in the first place.

You think 400M for a single upgrade is reasonable?

Further, there will be supply issues make no mistake. Even at 20M/marrow very few LS will waste their time doing this with the chance of failure always present and the manpower just not being there in todays FFXI for most shells. 20M sounds like alot of motivation to run Xarc but that also means sacrificing other runs to get the buyer their drop.

tl;dr This trial is epic fail.

Seen 2 different bazaars selling Umbral Marrow, both for 30 mil. Worst thing is, I'm certain there are players out there that will buy them at that price.

Ok so assume every person on Bismarck that has a relic weapon wants to upgrade it to 99. Then assume that each person had 17 other people that would help them everyday. They each pop ADL at 15 minute intervals. All poped drop one item. Ok so it would take the 240 relic weapon holders a total of 3,600 minutes to all pop one and get one item. It would take them 72,000 minutes to pop them all and everyone have 20 items. 72,000 minutes is equal to 1,200 hours or 50 days. Now this is saying they each went in and no one was already there. They were able to walk right in kill ADL and leave. And that they did this every time they were able to enter on their alloted 15 minute time period. This is why it needs to be changed to kills rather than items. Because realistically its going to take an average person 8 months to finish this one trial.
