Fix the new scrolls issue

[Greatguardian]

My concern, and maybe I'm off base on this, is that if the scrolls are the ONLY reason people go to do the content which provides them, people will stop doing them when they get their own scrolls. I don't mind paying even a high price at the auction house to get them, as long as I can get them.

No.

People complained about all of the new battlefields the Devs were adding because they weren't worth the time/effort to go out and do them. Now, they are. Not only are scrolls present, but there are some decent equipment drops that come from these HKCNMs as well. And you know what the absolute most important part is?

They're fun.

So, if people want to get hung up on the fact that they actually have to DO something outside of Abyssea, they're welcome to cry about it all they want. Personally, I enjoy these BCs, and will probably continue to do them long after I'm done milking gil from the retards who refuse to get up and do the fight themselves. As long as I can turn a profit on them, they'll be worth doing. And they're really not even remotely difficult for a group with half a brain, so it's not like they're inaccessible.

I LOVE IT! GO do the under used content such as WoE and Voidwatch... this is SE's way of saying, don't ignore the new stuffz if you want new stuffz...and I don't blame them... GO GO GO SE Good move! ^^

Yeah man, like go back to Undine if you want handouts like the last seven tier V nukes, and almost if not all spells since 75. This aint your momma's ffxi.

Personally I have nothing against Walk of Echoes, just not enough people do it. Even after the changes and additions they made with this update, there were 0 people in that zone for a good chunk of yesterday afternoon on my server.

If this was the case, there would be no scrolls on the AH, so people unable to do them would stand in jeuno offering gil for either help to do the HKCNMs or just to buy the scroll. Once the money offered is high enough, people will do the events to farm and sell the scrolls. Once so many people are farming them that people are undercutting to get them sold, the price drops. If the price drops so much that it's not worth doing the HKCNM anymore, scrolls stop appearing on AH and the price rises again.

It's a very simple case of supply and demand. Stand in Jeuno and shout for a scroll of Comet for 10 mil, and someone will sell you one before long.

Simples. x

All the new spells seem to drop in Walk of Echoes, Voidwatch, and new HKCNMs. It's not as fast and simple as buying it from an NPC, but it's still okay in my opinion :3

Also, re: walk of echoes, I can't speak for anybody else but on Cerberus, people are doing it. This morning, I was in a Flux 5 with 24 other people; we cleared the place in 5 minutes. This doesn't mean people will keep doing it, of course, but Flux 9 is the new Flux 5 and as the guy who made a thread hand-wringing about no more mob coin drops, I am satisfied that SE's mission's been accomplished in WoE at least in the short term.

Everyone should consider it their patriotic Vana'duty (nyuk nyuk) to go camp Flux 9 once an hour. It's easy as hell as it is, and the more people you bring, the easier it gets because the greater the chance somebody's going to get a brew from the little dudes. Between scrolls/Devious Dice, this will probably be on par with proper Dynamis soloing for profit, if not better (can't tell how the DD market's going to be just yet, of course, but with WoE weapons now being an incredibly viable option for pretty much everybody, I'm going to go out on a limb and say "worth it").

(The qualifying cutoff seems REALLY generous, in case anybody's wondering. In one 5 run, I didn't join until all the saltopuses were dead and Natrix was at 55%; I ran up as DNC, swung a few times, died to nerve gas, then zombied him, getting a few swings and dying to a TP move until he was dead, and still got 6k xp and qualified for loot)

Speaking of which, dose anyone know where Kakka comes from yet?

Food eaten prior to it's production. Here is my source for this information. Apparently, enduring jokes about it are vital to becoming a higher level adventurer, so it's possible someone leveled up just from reading this post.

On a more serious note, I couldn't be happier with how the new scrolls are obtained. So far, it looks like they can drop from Walk of Echoes, High Kindred Crest battlefields, and even Voidwatch. Plenty of options, all more interesting than "pay a Galkan NPC 150,000 gil".

Not to mention they are in content no one does

The whole idea is to get people to do that content that "no one does." Incentive drives events. Would anyone have ever done sky or sea or limbus if it never had anything rewarding (at the time)?

as i said on my topic i made i don't mind doing the HKNM's my deal is if they wanted to do this do it from the start dont release all tear V spells on a npc then make the last a event drop. i was expecting comit to be a bugger to get but thunder V was kinda of a wtf only becuse al the others were npc .

i mite be wrong but am pretty sure this is the first time SE made it so the tear element spells cant all be uptaned in the same way be it farming tear 4 or byeing t1 on npc's
