Arch Dynamis Lord doesn't "spawn", no. You need to kill other nms in Dyna-Xarc for items they drop which are used for popping ADL. Not an easy fight, and idc how many people yell "zomg he drops Sagasinger" - fact is he was barely being killed before the introduction of the 99 relic trial. I've yet to see or hear of a single player who has that sword. The effort of getting a pop set and killing him wasn't worth it for the drops. Those 2 hours could be better spent farming currency and more recently also +2 relic armour items.

Well it seems we agree on most things really - although to me it's ultimately SE's responsibility, they are the ones calling the shots, not the players.

Personally I quite enjoy voidwatch, but I don't enjoy the reward system. Btw, none of the vwnm fights drop heavy metal pouches "at a decent rate". You can do 12 Qilin fights in a row and get 2 pouches with a total of 24 plates like I once did - which isn't half bad. Then you can do another 12? 16? 20? 24? Qilins and not get a single pouch. Or you get one pouch - with 3 plates. Yay?
