Current Empy 95 Price

Pup isn't very useful or wanted in all but one event and only for procs, period.

My pup isn't very useful or wanted when I play it.

Fixed.

Also, when did this thread turn into a "my opinion about which jobs have the biggest &*%$'s"

It's supposed to be about the insane cost of 95 emp upgrade. And the future for this trial after no one cares about voidwatch.

And on that topic:
I feel bad for almace/ochain plds. 3k plates just to get caught up and who knows what is coming for lvl 99.

P.S. I am also not looking forward to the emp prejudice that will plague main jobbers. Stuff like
" Ewww, you made a 99 twatstar?!. What a waste."
Mind your own business and just congratulate the guy on doing something you only wish you could do. Stop forcing your own narrow minded opinions about what is "the right way" on other people.

Pup isn't very useful or wanted if you happen to have a job that is more useful available

Fixed.

Correctly Fixed.

The reality is this isn't 2005 if you only have 1 job leveled then sucks to be you. Trying to do Endgame with only 1 job available is stupid considering the ease of leveling and decently gearing any job thanks to Abyssea/GoV.

1500 plates from non-small man friendly events sucks. But I also didn't honestly expect Emp trials to stay as easy/fast as they have been all the way to 99.

Welp this thread has gone pretty far off topic.

I'm just here to agree with the 1500 plate requirement being pure insanity at this point. 150 plates would still be reasonably difficult but 1500 seems like the ramblings of a mad man. It's a total bait and switch. SE said they wanted empyreans to be a weapon for the casual player which they were until the 95 cap where they become a weapon for pretty much no one. I spent a couple weeks defending SE saying "Even though they have made some questionable decisions I don't think they are stupid enough to create a huge demand (2-3mil per server) for metal plates and then have the supply be limited in any way." Clearly I was wrong. Theycreated the demand and limited the supply beyond uor wildest dreams. This rivals and maybe even eclipses the 30k alexandrite requirement in stupidity. It's a classic Hiromichi Bottle neck to artificially extend the life of content. We finally had an ultimate weapon that didn't require outrageous amounts of gil or "abusing" a linkshell to get and people freaking loved it. SE made relics farmable lowman and there was much rejoicing. This move is beyond logic to me.

The solution is simple guys. Just win the next Mog Bonanza.

So like EMpyreans are already some of the best weapons even at level 85 version. Why bother upgrading them further? They're already practically at the top, which is why they made it hard to upgrade further. They also probably have WS dmg+25% like Mythic/Relic at 95 version too

[Asymptotic]

It will probably drop to 150-500 plates next update.
HMP will drop even from T1 from VW step 3.
Drop rate will be increased.

Otherwise, someone on the dev team is smoking a lot of crack.

[Atomic_Skull]

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.

And that DMG49 delay 186 dagger with ODD is total garbage.

Relics and Mythics got their WS boost at 90 not 95. There's no reason to make emps better because almost all of them are still the best so there's very little chance they will get a boost other than the base damage and stat increase.

Second the gear are sidegrades at best , in most case situational and totally not worth the effort

Coruscanti is the third best dagger in the game after Twastar and Mandau and even if you have one of those it's still the best offhand dagger.
