    I'm sort of anti the whole "empyrean is average, no emprean is below average" thing. But that's basically stemmed from when I didn't have access to the game when a lot of abyssea shit was happening, returning and then having to play some SERIOUS catch up by myself as I'm 12hrs out of my LS's timezone (and they dont do abyssea anymroe anyway).

    Basically, I don't like being called below average just because I got a late start and haven't got an emprean weapon yet. (Not that I'm not working on it, farmed 6 CC sets 2box so far today and will probably farm 2 more before I go to bed.)

    If you're working on a Masamune, then yes, until it's finished your SAM is subpar. Is that unreasonable given the break that you took? Not really. Most people who come back from long breaks that introduced new content are subpar geared until they've finished catching up to everyone else. I don't think anyone's going to call you out on it aside from Pchan. But that doesn't make you as a player subpar. At least you're making legitimate progress on it instead of whining like a little bitch about how hard Emps are like some people. That's something to be commended.

    I'm not doing Masamune. My sam probably wont go above 49. Until this post I had thought you meant the player was subpar because he doesn't have an empyrean for at least one job. Which I disagreed with. As far as the job is subpar until it has an empyrean, that obviously depends on the job. For example, I would call a Sam without Masamune as subpar as a 75 Sam without hagun back in the day. But that's because of how stupid easy the Cara>CC path is, and because of how weak a Sam is without it. Then look at Gaxe, Glavoid>Itza is much more anoying and time consuming to complete, and war is already a strong job without it. Then there's polearm. Chloris>Ulhua, another annoying path (Chloris is annoying, Ulhua is easy) and empyrean polearm is pretty much matched by OAT anyway.
    That said, I'm pretty much doing the current empyrean for the sake of having an empyrean. It's not the one I want the most, but I figure get something under my belt before I start the long annooying road that is Glavoid>Itza.

    On topic, we XPed on peists for like 6 hours last night. we called for help on Gukmatz almost every time he popped. Someone actually showed up trying to claim him about 4-5 times and we tried to let him whenever it wasn't raping someone in our group. Still, it would be nice if he was a popped nm.

    I did the exact same thing last night. It was glorious.

    Its an empyrean weapon, why not just ask for one in your drop box next time. I know im being sarcastic but I hate the easy button everyone's reaching for these days. Seriuosly i know its over camped but theres two simple soluitions:

    1. only farm that zone when theres under 40 people there
    2. farm gold chests on frogs, you can also get the nm frog while your there and spam the zone boss while your at it, two birds one stone

    thousands have kanagi so you'll just have to grind like the rest of us, look at the bright side once its done its done
