Meteor

I thought Legion does not have 'an end', though, so that would seem a bit impossible. ^^

• Items exchangeable with Legion Points
Item that can be obtained through the exchange of Legion Points will get better by achieving new titles from Legion, but as a result, the choice of items are very small in the beginning, so we are considering to open up all of these items from the start. In addition, we are planning to add an advantage where the amount of Legion Points required to obtain each item will decrease by conquering Legion.

Though unless meteor does actually drop from legion or is buyable with points, this is nothing to do with meteor. Just showing that Legion has an end.

Good point.

I still have my doubts though, and I don't think that 'conquering' something necessarily means an 'end', but either way, they did introduce Legion as: "Slay as many foes as possible within the thirty-minute time limit", so I thought the 'waves' would never settle.

I haven't seen them clearly state otherwise, and while I do tend to read all the official posts, I am not too interested about this specific event so I could have easily missed it (I actually might have skipped most of the particular reply above as I don't remember it too well). ^^;

Apparently Meteor drops from something besides Provenance, according to Rukkirii in this thread. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...817#post305817

I guess Legion is the best guess at this point.

I had to read it twice before I even noticed what you were getting at, so I'll quote it here to clarify:

We understand those that would like the drop rates of scrolls to be raised, but we consider gear to be the main aspect of rewards from the final chapter of Voidwatch. Since Arise and Meteor can be obtained through other content, we will maintain their current drop rates.

I still find it ironic that Meteor is incredibly rare yet only really useful when cast in a group. It's a bit like offering you candy with one hand while smacking you in the face with the other. Good luck finding 6 black mages with Meteor who actually know each other. So far only one scroll has appeared in the auction house on my server, and was obviously only put there to add it to the spell list, as the scroll was removed and the history states no one bought it.

Even if very few people will actually be able to use it effectively, at least the theory behind the spell is nice.

Does anyone else think it is funny that people are trying to sell Meteor for close to 20m ? I mean seriously? I know it is rare, but that is a just a little bit how to say it ... moronic. Lets face it, soon people will learn how to do legion, and more and more scrolls will start to enter the market. The price will fall drastically and then you will have the 2-3 blms in the VW runs just waiting for the que to drop a 20k rock on the mob. BUT until then don't forget to laugh at the people who think that blms are so desperate they will pay un-godly amounts of gil for a silly spell.

If I buy something for 20M, I make sure there's nothing else I could get for less money that will benefit me more. And if I am at that point, 20M for a spell means very little to me. Your entire post reeks of envy. You're pissed because the price is too high and you either can't or don't want to afford it. People actually are buying it for that much. Because if they weren't, price wouldn't be so high in the first place. And it also sounds like you've never actually done Legion. I'm fairly certain the price won't fall much unless SE adjusts the supply somehow.

[Babekeke]

I'd pay 20m for Meteor, but not until some of the more hardcore BLMs in the LS does. Not much point in being the only person with a spell that's only awesome if several of you have it >.>

Your entire post reeks of envy.

You say Envy I say smart. Look at the price of Meteor today 7-8 million
So why was I envious when I knew the price would drop? I'm glad I didn't waste 20m on the spell. But hey that's okay the other 12 million I would have paid for it (as I did finally break down and buy it) will just go towards something else. Cheers

on a different point!
I have been reading more about the testing of Meteor from the folks over at BG, and I was curious if anyone has attempted to use more than 6 Black Mages to cast the spell? I don't even know if it is possible as I believe it is based on the party (which means maximum of 6 blms) but I am curious to know if anyone knows of anyone who has attempted more.
