Abyssea Seals and Cards

[Malamasala]

Great gear should come from great patience or extreme luck.

Luck should never be involved.

In case you missed it... +1/+2 upgrade items are getting a new tweak. No details on just what it is yet, but they announced it a month ago that it was coming:

Which is the whole reason why I started this thread.

A small amount of luck is ok but this should be the difference of like Emp weapons trophies. Worse case scenario if you duo without TH you take like 45 kills instead of someone with a Thf that only takes like 35 kills.

21 days is still pretty fast.

Personally I would have liked for us to be able to buy seals with Bastion and Dom notes. Say 10-20k per seal.

You would fully upgrade all your AF3 within 21 days per my suggestion, at TWO seals a day.

Most Abyssea Exp parties I'm in nets me at least 40k Dominion Notes at the end of it.

So that 40k Dom Notes is enough for TWO seals per your suggestion. And this is slower than 21 days how?...

There is no reason to change the system that is in place.
NIN/DNC+BLM/WHM can duo pretty much any of the NMs for seals.

If you dont have a duo/trio partnership then just /sh
ex:
/sh Blazing Eruca DRK BLM PUP head paper do you need it? 1/4 /tell

I just omited the NIN paper that way it is locked to you. Not hard at all. Most I did when BLM friend wasnt on I did with 4 that way others could lock a seal.

Again not hard.

personally i think this idea is horrible.

i have recently (starting a week before the servers where shut down) leveld a new character done all the limit break quests, capped merits, completed CoP in 3 days, and getting 5/5 WHM AFv3 +2 in 5 days. and you want to get gear as you lvl up? there is no system before abyssea allowing you get gain items from normal mobs from exp'ing.

if you cannot be bothered to do a shout or shoun a shour run then thats your problem and you dont deserve the seals/+2 items because of your laziness. i will agee that you should be atlest lvl75+ to recieve seals for all quests reguardless of the random nature.

while i hate to see dull pink NIN/MNK/THF/DNC or full perle PLD/SAM/DRK and full teal mages. if your not willing to spend supme time doing a shout or even duo to get seals then you deserve to be that gimp. its not hard to Duo NMs for seals, i personally solo'd for alot of my seals, while soloing NIN/DNC onlu gives you 3 spels that can possibly proc and takes longer i put alot of effort soloing, people offer to team up and if they dont need the seal i want then sure i will. its not hard to get a group that is able to farm the NMs for seals.

One idea I would have liked them to impliment is that when you get a seal for completing an Ops, you should be given the choice of adding it to your party's treasure pool or keeping it for yourself. Chances are someone will want those 50+ cirque seals you keep getting.

I think once a week would be acceptable... but once every Earth day... no.

This is truly a great idea too!

Thanks for all the feedback!

I just made a post with some more info in regards to Abyssea, and while it might not address your concern 100%, please take a look.
