Empyrean weapons skip trial

[Voidstorm]

There is one change I would like to see for empyrean weapon trials.
Voidwalker NMs outside abyssea should get the same 100% upgrade rate as those inside abyssea give.
Losing a t2 pop and having to re-farm it can take quite a while if you're unlucky.

One of the tricks I've read and have used is farm the T3 pops (all zones in case you want to build multiple weapons) and do your best to not use them. This way when it's time to farm the T2 NMs, it cannot upgrade since you have it already. There is a chance that you might get unlucky and pop the T3 on your first rest but guides have approximate locations for T2 NMs. I don't recall the T2 pops ever "breaking" like the higher ones.

That said, I feel the the T1 to T2 rate could be a bit better.

You can also do the pop and drop method: Get a partner to pop the VNM for you then leave the zone before you kill it. No risk of an abyssite upgrade if they're not around. It's a lot less setup than building all the T3s, but it's not an option if you're playing alone; also, there's the risk that you have to hunt your NM while the other one available in the zone is nipping at your heels because you managed to find that one first and you can't fight it without losing the abyssite, which is annoying.
