[Dev 1009] Force Pop HNM's FTW

[Karbuncle]

FTW? this system is horrible, first you have to get 99 KS, go to pop the NM and have a lesser drop rate for BB items???????????????/

this seems like a step back, not a step forward.

Are you referring to them removing BB drops from NQ's?
*Edit: Saw they decreased it for kings, Thats fuck-stupid.

Yah that was retarded. but from the way the update notes sound, Each KSNM/NM has a chance to drop more than one pop (Says "At least 1"). So we could go do a KSNM99, and get 2 pops for Fafnir, Kill faf and get 2 pops for Nid, multiplying your chances to pop him exponentially.

For those people without kindred seals when the update roles around, Its gunna suck. But you have about ~20 days to go farm some Kindred seals lol, Go Solo some Fields of Valor for a bit. Get some pops ready before the update :P

Uh, name one EX item you can sell or trade? I don't know of any items labelled EX that can ever pass out of your characters hands, beyond that of vendoring it to an NPC at least.. (That's exactly what EX is - it stands for Exclusive, as in Exclusive to your possession.) There are non-ex items that have odd selling properties.. (Can't be vendored or AH'd, or even mailed.. but can be bazaared or traded. But that wasn't what Starcade was referring to or afraid of.)

People sell EX items all the time. You buy the Lotting rights essentially.

For instance, Someone selling Byakko's Haidate, They'd kill the NM, if it drops, You pay them, Lot item.
