[dev1057] Limbus renewal

[ThaiChi]

Let's get this started. First things first, take off the 72 hour cooldown. I really don't know where else I'd like to go from there. I guess perhaps Artifact +2. Dusk-Dawn restriction taken off Ninja Kyahan +1? {Yes, Please} -- well that's just one thing (I'm personally a bit envious of the THF/RNGs in my LS with Fajin boots), in light of the upcoming revamp to Relic Armor. Updated Homam/Nashiera would be great too. Hopefully something a bit less tedious than having to hunt someone down and put our Limbus gear into a synergy furnace. Some new purchasable items with Ancient Beastcoins would be welcome as well, I'm honestly amazed that ABCs still sell on Quetz, there's really nothing to buy once you've gotten your Brutal, Boxers, Loquacious, and whatever job associated earring you chose to have. Charger, Jaeger, and Gunner's Mantles have been severely outclassed by Atheling, Terebellum, and Libeccio. Maybe if you essentially paid Sagheera in ABCs to upgrade Nash/Homam a la AF+1 style?

Sagheera: "I gotta send this to the near east. Shipping costs 20 whiteshells please!"
Me: "Whats the name of your contact in whitegate?"
Sagheera: "Why?"
Me: "It will cost me 300 gil and 20 mins to take it myself - so the name please".

I think that EVERY time I've ever upgraded anything...

Limbus is already extremely low manable, inluding bosses. Since the idea of the level cap increase was to make this more viable I don't see they can do to make limbus matter again anymore. If they add moee floors for alliances again it defeats the point of the excuse for the level cap increase in the first place.

So much for waves of new content at 99, they are just gonna rehash all the old stuff they made invalid increasing the level cap in the first place. "Brand new" 99 content, Einherjar (cheap rehash), dynamis (cheap rehash), VW (rehashed aby nms/proc system with horrible loot allocation design to artifically extend it's lifespan) and Limbus (cheap rehash).

I'm sure SE will have problems with congestion for limbus but i have only one suggestion

Atma weapon ^^

Just shows the truth of the matter, there be many players out there per server and they all have their personal goals. It's why I stress the fact that Empyreans are not as common and as easy as people on internet forums seem to think. Just about anyone who spends their time around forums are hardcore enough to care to do it, and there's many thousands more that play that never touch the forums or they do but never open their mouths. They'll never enjoy the fruits of an ultimate weapon, or +2 Empyrean armor, and any really great armor, and are forever doomed to being the laughing stock of BG threads and the like. Because they have real lives that dictate their time far more than FFXI can.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't feel guilty as hell for being enough of a loser that I'm as far progressed as I am in FFXI. But I shrug it off and push forward. I'll just say that my hats off to people who win at life and perhaps someday I'll join them. Until then, there be gils in them there mountains that need to be farmed.

New limbus areas, artifact+2, new items bought with ancient beastcoins, and removing the long re-entry.
Frankly updating limbus should not take much to revamp, as it was a great event back in its time. Never needed an alliance to work on it but at the same time an alliance can speed things up(collecting chips in alliance). Personally i hope they add enough to it without forcing another terrible proc system.

[Aarahs]

Add upgrade items for homam/nashira +1 from the opposite weapon so people must defeat both for full upgrade, then include +2 in new areas. Also, some kind of new use for the currency should be implemented.

[Ophannus]

Make the chips able to be turned into Chip Fragments with which we can Synergize Augment Nashira/Homam. I'd rather have individual and customizable augments relevant to the type of chip used similar to how the augments on Kirin gear depends on which sky god scrap you use. So Smoky Chip Fragment would add DRG relevant augments to Homam and Magenta could add THF stats to Homam etc. Having a generic +1 upgrade means the stats will be pretty static and probably low and situational like an additional 5HP/MP and a few points of Acc or M.acc on the pieces rather than potentially awesome augments like Jump TP Bonus or Store TP etc.

While I understand (hope?) that you are speaking in generalities, I would hope that not everyone who reads these forums (if they are even on here and not out "winning at life") thinks that one must sacrifice real life to have "an ultimate weapon, or +2 Empyrean armor, and any really great armor." If the revamps to the game have resulted in anything, it's rewarding a more casual playstyle.

First things first, take off the 72 hour cooldown.

Yes, yes, yes please. I cannot support this enough! I've been trying to get the limbus mats for +1'ing my Ninja Chainmail, but bad luck has left me waiting on the accursed 3 day cooldowns.
