Ok...let me level with you here SE...

Umbra won't be merced.

Everything is/can be merced.

Except maybe things which can only be done solo.

Maybe.

[Tamoa]

I honestly don't see Umbra being merced. For the amount of effort/people involved, plus the chance of picking the wrong clone and everything going straight to hell from there on, the price tag is going to be huge if so.

Please note that "troll" does not mean "someone who's opinion differs from my own"

I wasn't aware the math surrounding why mandau is better then twash was an opinion....

Please note your thoughts on what an opinion is, are incorrect.

Since when is 100-200 million gil out of reach of the average relic holder? If you can't do ADL then buy the items from the many groups that will be farming ADL to sell his drop for 5-10 million gil. At that price ADL is a guaranteed 10-20m gill, more than enough for people to forgo currency farming and farm an ADL pop set instead.

If SE did not intend people do buy the drops then you would not be able to put them in bazaar. Obviously they do or the items would have been Ex.

1-price of 1 Umbral Marrow will have to be atleast 20 mil to justify its selling price, I've already explained it, go find the post if you want to read the math behind it.
2-ADL is never a guaranteed kill cause of the luck factor (50% chance of kill between fake/real)
3-you're a troll

Last time I did ADL he has 3 clones out, so thats 25% chance of guessing correctly.

The number picked for mythic alexandrites is unrealistic because people were cheating like hell and tripling drops in salvage. It should be 1/3 of what it is at least before we even get into the lv 99 stuff.

What do they expect when SE lowers its staff to have to employ players to do their testing for them?

Are you serious? lol
I heard its "kill one ADL and two pop, one real one fake. If you kill real one, fight ends, if you kill fake, another 2 pop", and thats pretty disgusting as is. If multiple clones can pop, that's ridiculous.

Wow the devs are pretty damn clueless. FFXI in its current state should not have long, strenuous, time sink trials that benefit one person. They really just don't get it.

Also, an update is supposed to be an update. Gimping the hell out of everything and upgrading (very minuscule upgrades) stupid abilities that go unused is not an update. Players should be saying "Oh cool something new!" instead of "Oh god please don't gimp anything...".

Anyways, I hear SWTOR is great btw.

I'm sorry, but I just have to point out that if SE decides to change the requirement for stage 1 level 99 empyrean weapon, it'll be your own fault for buying these items before the trial is actually implemented, just going by some numbers and stuff on the test server.

On the other hand, personally I don't believe SE will change it. I do wish they'd lower the number some, though.

Nope that would be true if http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...Version-Update wouldnt been posted

*New Magian trials for Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons have been delayed to allow time for proper balancing.
They are scheduled to be introduced to the test server in the near future and implemented in the release version in an additional version update.
The items required for the trials, however, have been introduced in advance in this version update.

They said the trial is delayed but those items WILL be used to upgreade those weapons. That goes to real server not test server.

Ofc you can say that they still will be used for upg... to stage 2 but thats obviously trolling.
If no those update notes or those items just introduced in test server you would be right but its not the case.
