Wing of the Goddess mission completion reward

[Morgantisthedon]

I personaly like the mp and extra refresh +1 for bst whm and the mp .... very usefull as a refresh item when i am not meleeing and am bst/whm
But i doagree compared to CoP u dont get as good as a rajas or simiar but they did add extra where you could go do ethreal earing or similar also ...... Maybe add something extra now for people who have gotten there earings and did all the 3 story quests for all 3 cities. Similar like Storms of fate, all way up to apoc. nigh was a add on to people done with both CoP and sky..... Cant you do something similar in Wotg for someone who completes it and gets there earring and goes and does the other 2 cities story lines also.

More people do not go for it because they are obsessed with Abyssea, simple as that. I, for one, do not judge a piece just by its usefulness for just one set of areas, no matter how obsessed with it people are at the moment.

Better yet its suck and to most people not worth going for. Wing of the goddess needs a better reward more worth going after.

Atma of a Future Fabulous is a pretty good atma to have for some things.

If I could get the refresh while meleeing as well, I would probably get it.

Yeah agree that CoP rings are really the best reward and are still useful, even @ lvl 90. ToAU are only useful doing assault, but with some of the new gear out, they are easily outdone, even in assault. My Static on WotG are on the last set of actual missions, but agree having seen the earring available it's kind of meh.

I'm working on WotG missions right now. I'm definitely not doing it for the earring, it's mostly garbage. It has a grand total of 2 worthwhile augments, of which you can only have one, and they're both crippled by being latent effects. Refresh less than regain, but I have a much smaller need for refresh, having only 2 mage jobs that I use very rarely. Frankly, if I get to the end, and remember to stop soon enough, I may not get the thing at all. If I do accidentally pick it up, it may end up tossed like the ToAU negative inventory trio of trash.

This. Though, personally, I'm a sucker for gimmicky effects, so I'll get the 3% Quick Magic myself. ^^;

If the reward was more worth it like other missions it would be easier to get them. People do not even thing the atmas worth it. Only argument iv heard that makes the earring even worth it is for mage witch in turn it still sucks. With other mission reward you could pick a reward that was really decent for all types of jobs not just 1 type. All the work you have to do the least they could do is give you an exclusive zone in the future for future something along the lines like how you did rise of zilart for sky and cop for sea. Even tho you didn't have to finish the mission there was still more insentive back at 75 to get the mission done then there is for wing of the goddess.

WoTG is one of the major story lines in the game, completing it, I feel, should be somewhat ground breaking, both in terms of lore/story (that part was done quite well, if you ask me) and a reward that you are left with. CoP rings (and stuff like Loquacious/Brutal/) were outstanding and unlike anything you could craft or get from camping some HNM 24/7. You basically noticed when you got to use them and made sure you had them in your inventory (whether a mage or meele play style you preferred).
Well, maybe it wouldn't bug me that much if it wasn't for all the limitations attached to it. Latent effects? For the love of god, why? So you don't have to bring opo-opo and sleeping potions before Kirin zerg or somethig? Or to keep your hMP earring relevant and make you rest for MP more? Another slap in the face are these: [Occ. maximizes Magic Accuracy +3% [Occ. quickens spellcasting +3%] [Occ. inc. resist to all stat. ailments +5]. Who in their right mind would keep around a piece of equipment for a 3% chance to instantly cast a spell? Or 3% chance to land a spell on something? There's already a 5% chance to land a spell on anything unless it's compeletly immune, I think. At least try and beat that... When I use Atma of Apocalypse I notice it's effects enough (Quick magic 10% etc) for it to be seen as an useful thing for any job. Random free Utsusemi cast? Random AM quickcast and shiny yellow !! poppping up? Reraise and back to fight when something manages to 1-shot you or ambush you from the bushes? Hell yes. Put things like that on major storyline reward and not stats that are beaten already by things you can get from AH/Bazaar/random NM (Moldavite/Novio/Hecate/Ethereal/Aesir Ear/Clearview earring).
Make things bit more meaningful, not 'bleh, whatever'.

Gee, thanks. >_>

To be perfectly honest, for something that you can use outside of Abyssea, the Moonshade Earring is pretty amazing. We are all already aware of how broken Atmas are, particularly ones like Atma of the Apocalypse, but any chance of quickening for any spell I cast is going to win that ear slot with the possible exception of nukes.

(Also, Ethereal Earring is a storyline reward, not an "AH/Bazaar/random NM" item as you state; Aesir Ear Pendant is somewhat debatable, as well.)
