Current Empy 95 Price

[Gokku]

Trying to get a running total of what heavy iron plates are going for on all severs in hope that SE will see how ridiculous it is.

Ive seen 3 Bazaars on carbuncle with them 5 mil , 5mil , 2mil

Carbuncle Total : 7,500,000,000gil - 3,000,000,000 gil

100k a plate = 150 mil for a 95 *still a little over the top but mythic says hi*
50k = 75 mil * about the price of a relic atm so not to bad would make it rare enough*
20k = 30 mil * serious investment not to insane for even an casual player to get*
10k or lower * 95's..... 95's everywhere would be a dream but never going to happen*

Requires between 4-8 accounts with MAX gil. Estimated RL value of at least $56,583 USD , to $141,457.5 USD.

Unless Plates Drop from all content *ala kindred crests style* to the point were plates are costing 100k max to about 50k decent , and a low of 10-20k each. it is completely unreasonable to expect and player to ever complete a level 95 Empy's weapon.

2nd comparison, Lets say you have a Linkshell who does 3 T3 VW EVERY day with 18 people never lose a kill and get a 50% drop rate on plates. 165 kills of T3 Void watch lets avg 30 mins a kill since t3 can be nasty 82.5 HOURS of voidwatch to complete.

If you spot any in your servers bazaars please list the price and what server.
i think i mathed this right... i prob didnt.

And people complained about mythics.

Good news, 90 Emps will probably always be better than the other options for most jobs, excluding maybe drk(reilc), sam(relic), and drg(mythic, and probably relic too since rhongo sucks major c**k).

Mythic weapons is a whole different annoying beast. Guess Emps had to cost something other than time eventually.

500k each (4x).

[Byrth]

I've seen a few for 100k, 200k, and a lot for 500k. I'm going to start buying at 100k, because I don't think the price will ever drop below that.

The only thing I can think of is that the next update will include more sources (additional WoE chambers, more voidwatch NMs, etc.) but as it stands this quest is almost as daunting as Alexandrite was when mythics were released.

[Monchat]

I'd buy anything below 200k myself. You say in the Op that 75 M is the price of relics? it requires about 175, 100coins which is pretty much 175M. Farming your own plates is not practical, because voidwatch sucks, the drop rate (50%?) sucks, and you are limited with voidstones.

[Greatguardian]

Honestly I don't find this the least bit unexpected considering the vast majority of the feedback on these forums has been either Relic holders complaining about how easy Empyreans are or non-Relic holders complaining about how easy Empyreans are.

That said, 165 fights isn't as terrible as it sounds if we're talking an old-school Relic/Mythic class weapon, and you can always supplement this with bought plates (I'd never buy over 200k personally =/ I'd optimistically hope for the market to stabilize at 100). It definitely removed the casual player from the equation though, holy crap. Hopefully there's an ODD rate increase on these 95s, and there's something new in store for 99 versions. OTD would be pretty boss.

Edit: You're not really limited with voidstones. You can always buy Voiddust with cruor/ISP/CP, and you can even trade voiddust so you could buy voidstones from other people if you really wanted to.

Just a little something you forgot is that the 18 members of your ally want a plate because they either want it for clink-clink or for their one empy. In other words you are not looking at 165 fights but 165*18=nearly 3000 fights if you dont buy anything. This Is why the only way to get a level 95 weapon is to buy most of it. This why voidwatch is a triple fail event. The gear sucks. The fights have artificial difficulty or drop condition difficulty essentially based on the number of people. And beeing dedicated into voidwatch doesnt give you more chance at the level 95 empy. I mean someone that can play decently can definitely build more than 100k in 30 minutes, nevermind the fact that averaging 30 minutes per fight in unrealistic due to people failing at being ponctual or ready all at once for instance.

This why voidwatch is a triple fail event. The gear sucks.

Yeah, a 15% Cure potency, 15% cure cast time body that rdm and sch can equip sucks. So does an Adaman Hauberk-1 with extra DA that mnk/thf/nin/etc can equip. And don't get me started on a damage taken-8% body piece that also converts 1.4% of damage taken to TP, that one is terrible.
