from BG

Just did a run in Morimar

Shimmering Tarichuk - Pluton Case (11)
Perdurable Raptor - Beitetsu (1)
Volatile Matamata - Riftborn Boulder (1)
Tutewehiwehi - Beitetsu (1)
Kurma - Pluton (1)
Tojil - Pluton (1)

Guessing cases can drop up to 15 like the plate bags. But yea this is going to cost a lot of gil.

So in addition to the 100-(formerly)600M+ I had spent on an RME weapon before, I now have to gather 300 new items to dump into it just for the Adoulin upgrade when it takes me like an hour to poke Tojil/etc until he puts out, or buy a weapon of nearly the same strength off the AH for like ~5M?

They sure know how to destroy any good will they may have had. People wanted their weapons to be imported, they didn't want the quest quality imported too SE.

Hey! It's totes NOT a magian trial yo!
It's totes differnt!
COMPLETELY differnt!
ENTIRELY EXACTLY DIFFERNT!

"hey you liked all those trials didn't you?"
"isn't that why you wanted to upgrade them?"

And ppl want the game to go beyond 119.....
I really pray that they don't now.

This was probably the absolute worse way to 119 the REMs....
No wait.
It's not the worst.
It could have said 3000 items.

Now I'm afraid to ask what it takes to "+2" the AF1 sets...

My understanding of upgrading AF is that you'll need items dropped by the new BCNM for 20 Kindred Crests. Winning the BCNM is a 100% drop of the item for each member of the party. The number of said item will vary from 1 to 4, depending on the difficulty selected. The only part i'm not sure of is how many of these items it will take per upgrade and whether items are job specific or not.

the RME upgrade is plain dumb... unless the KCNM drop thousands of them this isnt gonna happen... Like seriously there is a large playerbase with completed multiple 99 relics, some 99 empys and a few 99 mythics. This system isnt gonna work for any of them. God shits retarded... back to 05 where you need to enslave people or outlot them.

That's all I got too.
I pray to GOD that it's not like Limbus+1ification... cause... that just blows.

Judging from the items identified currently from .dat mining...
There's some stuff that looks like Airlixers... No clue what it does... but there's 3 vairants (NQ, +1 and +2)...
And then there's some Rem's memoirs that stack to 99 like the REM update items....
I pray that it's the 880CE Goblin Soup... Ra-Ex... One item stack...

But it's probably X00 of those memoirs...
Cause they stack to 99.
Are exclusive.
And there's 5 variants.

I'm calling chapter 1 = head, cp2 = body, cp3 = hands, cp4 = legs, and cp5 = feet.
Why? because that's the staggering of gear... and 1-5 matches the slots....
REALLY hope my pattern recognition is wrongs... because... omg... that's horrible... Ex: "I need Xjob head... BCNM only drops feet 'seals'"
REALLY hope these exclusive items that stack to 99 that comes in 5 variants... has nothing to do with 109AF...
Then again it might be only as bad as empy seal farming... (only worse because of random drops) Do the abyssea seals stack to 99? Never gotten more than 10 of a kind...

EDIT: Login campaign 5:
500pt category: Moogle Kupon A

Moogle Kupon A: recieve X00 amount of appropriate Rem memoirs for an appropriate job's single piece of gear for upgrading Artifact Armor.
Just wait.

Sacred Kindred's Crests.

Something like 5 I think it was, but I can remember very wrong; took a very quick peek but too tired to really register all of it (Monisette in Port Jeuno at (I-8) can tell you more accurately).

Stacks of 12.

[Zumi]

Farming ADL which is an easy trio now even possible to duo with higher risk and buying the 300 items out of bazzars probably became the fastest way to do this.

Bluh!
You confirmed that it's the memoirs...
But don't mention how many of each you need...

Best case: you need #1-5 per piece of 109ification...
What I'm expecting: X of #Y for Z piece...
