Sooo.... Emps?

Your list had a few mistakes for Emp to 85.

Right, thanks.

Facepalm. You have to bring 18 persons, half of the peeps get single plates. You need 1500. There is NO chance that a LS will be able to collect from all other members because the treasure pool is individual so you will need to do exactly 1500x2 fights and use exactly 3000 stones on each char. Wtf is this.

That, by itself, sounds incredibly retarded. I'm guessing it will come down to the pouches, how many they give and how to obtain them. 99 per pouch would make the whole thing a lot more feasible.

yeah keep dreaming that pouches will be easier to get and will yield 99 ^^.

[Gokku]

highly doubt it im betting on it being salvage style 20 max per pouch , and in 2-3 updates they will admit it was unrealistic and lower it to 500

Thing I don't get is, Emps right now are massively overpowered in easy to clear trials. They add a stupidly hard and long trial now for 90-95 (seemingly) and the upgrade is junk, why bother? You can keep your emp at 85 and be almost the same as someone with a 95 emp.

I understand they are trying to make FFXI have more longevity again and that means back to the old horrible ways but this is update is filled with nonsense. They are making us work far harder to get upgrades/new gear and spells in this update and they are almost all vastly weaker than what we've got before.

Has anyone actually obtained any plates yet btw? I've yet to see any confirmed drops still.

or FFIV: crafting. How to reach max smithing level? craft 2000+ of the same recipe over and over.

Right now if this only comes from VW, nobody will be able to get 1500 on their own, which means like alexandrite, you' ll have to buy.

Someone on my server was bazaaring a HMP for 1m. Not that it's worth that much or that somebody would buy, but can you imagine? 1.5 billion for your level 95 empy.
