@ Eeeekystain

Maybe it is you who should go re-read the orginal post on this, i have copied it exactly below and notice it's not how you claimed and no were does it state the item to pop the hq kings is 100%

How to obtain the trigger items:

Fafnir: Treasure from “Early Bird Catches the Wyrm”
Behemoth: Treasure from “Horns of War”
Adamantoise: Treasure from “The Hills are Alive”
* At least one of these items will be dropped in every battle.

Nidhogg: Treasure dropped by Fafnir
King Behemoth: Treasure dropped by Behemoth
Aspidochelone: Treasure dropped by Adamantoise

o How to obtain the trigger items:

Fafnir: Treasure from “Early Bird Catches the Wyrm”
Nidhogg: Treasure dropped by Fafnir
Behemoth: Treasure from “Horns of War”
King Behemoth: Treasure dropped by Behemoth
Adamantoise: Treasure from “The Hills are Alive”
Aspidochelone: Treasure dropped by Adamantoise

* At least one of these items will be dropped in every battle.

Farming Kindred Seals is stupid. Otherwise I'm fine with this.

Its an improvement over the old system.

There will be lots of people going for the HQ king pops and do not want the BB item overall making the supply of BB items increase to meet the demand.

How many people have bragged about KS? "gaiz, i have like 700 KS hurp derp" These people will be more inclined to do KS99 where the item can still drop and they have an incentive in NQ/HQ king pops which means overall more BB items to throw around.

For all the Galka in the house, this what what SE means:

KS99 “Early Bird Catches the Wyrm” will drop one trigger (or more!) for Fafnir.
Fafnir will drop one trigger (or more!) for Nidhogg.

KS99 “Horns of War” will drop one trigger (or more!) for Benemoth.
Behemoth will drop one trigger (or more!) for King Behemoth.

KS99 “The Hills are Alive” will drop one trigger (or more!) for Adamantoise.
Adamantoise will drop one trigger (or more!) for Aspidochelone.

Nope stop copying the orginal poster of this topic you simpleton and go look at the main page it is said how i quoted it.


Infact i'll make it easier for you

You see * At least one of these items will be dropped in every battle. In big red like that underneath Fafnir, Behemoth and Ada. Nothing like that under the hq kings so stop pretending you know more than anyone else at the moment cause you don't stupid woman.

One more thing, just because they reduced the drop rate of the BB items from 100% doesn't mean its 5% chance to drop. They might drop it down to 50%. A 1/2 chance at a BB item isn't that bad. Of course, I'm assuming they aren't dropping it down to a 5% drop rate.

Gonna go with 50% since SE is out of the business of end-user torture now.

People in Abyssea groups never help each other with those worthless Empyrean Weapon Items in Visions zones. Nope. No-sir-ee. People do all the weapons completely solo. Yep. I solo Glavoid like a bawse.

I also solo all the NMs I need Empyrean Armor +2 items. Doesn't everyone? I can't think of a single reason why I'd help my friends with their NMs. Nope, not at all.

And if a friend asks for help with HQ Turtle for their final BB item, I'll spit in their face. If they want it badly enough they'll solo it.

Geez Pchan, are you that unfamiliar with the concept of friendship?

Lol @ concept of friendship. I bet all your LS s disbanded with abyssea. Lol@ internet friends. You didn't answer my question as to why the average joe or even friend would toos his 99 KS to you just for an poortunity at maybe a BB item. Unlike what your previous post makes it sound, 1x 99 seal is not guarranted 2 chance at a BB item since the HQ is not 100%. No item is better than defending, THEREFORE noone wille give or sell yuou their seals. PERIOD.

SE went back and edited the original post to clarify it, this updated is not reflected in the OP of this thread. You're just making yourself look dumb.

Fine. You got me. I didn't notice that the OP misquoted SE's announcement. I'm sure the triggers for the HQs will have a decent to good droprate, and if they don't, players will rage so hard that it'll soon be patched.

That doesn't change the fact that this update to KS99s and Kings is still a million times better than the old HNM system we've all come to know and hate.
