This thread AGAIN, please, fix WK.

Because the Delve mega bosses drop superior versions, and with yesterday's update are easier than ever to defeat/farm.

Are you gauranteed something will drop? I mean 18 people in delve, there were times I did more than 6 runs only to still not get even 1 airelixer. Did SE remove the time limit on Delve?

What about loot distribution? I've seen people hax-a-lot (my way of saying) get all of the gear drops. Like if 2 pieces dropped...Both items went to 1 person...

There are 4 guaranteed drops which can be distributed to the right people to ensure that nobody gets something useless. If you do 1-5 NMs plus mega boss, you get 70k plasm, which is about 1/3 of the plasm you need to buy the 200k weapons and the armor (which cost slightly less than 200k plasm). So even if you don't win lot, you're sure to get the item(s) you want after a few runs.

Lol teach me DJ because even I waited an entire week to an entire month only to burn those stones in a few hours.. I've spent millions of Gil even selling all my HMP and still didn't get the dagger. And yes I know it wasn't the best but it was something at the time I wanted because I don't own any REM daggers and didn't feel the need to waste my time for a job I only used for farming.

Btw I have all kis that replenish your stones faster including the one you get from PW and still ran out of stones..

I've never seen anyone kill VW bosses in 5 minutes. Can people cap red that fast?

You actually can I have seen red cap in like 2-3 weapon skills +other magic procs of course.

Well if you proc 3's & 5's? I just never saw it done in NA parties. Maybe once in a blue moon.

So its better to reward 150 players spending 2+ hrs to take down Yumcax a maple log?

A better way would be to make the Library quest repeatable. Defeat all 5 Naakuls again and choose another 2 items

I see what you are saying cause my last yumcax was for 7 hours and all I got was some iron sand but I do think deamon is right. I do wish the capes were a consultation prize for doing wildskeeper instead of crafting items if you don't get the boss drops.

When you endure a few more yumcax that are just like that you might change your tune. Or not.

Also I don't think this gear is particularly overpowering if you look at in the context of gear that has yet to be implemented in the game.

Regarding the alignment in VW thing:

V and HV procs give boosted alignment if you time them properly; generally this is when you "stun" the foe while it is trying to use a spell or WS. If you time a HV magic proc in this manner, it will increase red alignment by 200-220 immediately, which brings it to 300-320, already almost capped. From this point you can easily cap it via blitz.

In the case of V procs, this also has the added benefit of changing them to behave more like a HV proc (that is, it will become a red !! instead of yellow, stun the mob for 20 seconds instead of 5, and also restore all temps instead of just 0-1)

I haven't done VW since last year but when I quit last year we only went for HQ procs and this was like in every pick up group I did.

Do I get pissed after spending 7-8 hours doing Yumcax and getting crap drops? Yes but I also realize that if I was getting the drops I wanted then I wouldn't be doing it as much which could be a big problem for anyone who has yet to do it. Now I may stop doing it if I keep getting terrible drops but it really doesn't take much effort to do WK. I just look at past events and realize how hard it is for some people to do them because most people have gotten what they want from the events like Abyssea.

Not sure how you can say that it "really doesn't take much effort" when you just described a frustrating 7-8 hour train wreck. Personally I'd just stop going if I got too frustrated. Same result though, one fewer participant.
