With this setup, people who have already obtained items for the 99 trial will not be punished, and those people (if there are any) who were going for the glow trial would be able to reclaim their gil. I would recommend 500 Ig-Alima or Botulus Rex kills for the Empyrean glow trial.

This would ensure a long-lasting and steady supply of the items that people need to upgrade to the NQ level 99 relic weapons.
Unless someone is currently suffering from the largest brain tumor known to man, nobody is going to do the stage 2 trials. I want to say that there isn't a human being out there quite stupid enough to sacrifice so much gil (killing ADL instead of farming currency) to make their weapon glow, but maybe there is; and if there is, we'll all be able to see them glow so we can point and laugh and feel better about ourselves.
