99 Empyrean Trials.

[newmonkey]

Just to point out you can't solo the fragment and attestation for relics and no one is soloing the 99 stage.

Come on se thorw the people a bone here and announce some refinements for heavy metal plates.

Are you sure you can't solo those? (disappointing news to me I thought id be able to at 99) That's for the first two, and I only ment to the 85 trial since that's when the destructive power comes, 90 at most since that's the common "end point". As long as you get the main idea.

Really REALLY depends on a lot of factors. Let's just say the average Joe/Jane will not walk into Dynamis and solo attest/animated stuff. Ever. If you are above average in gear and skill then don't be afraid to try to solo something. You do get to enter Dynamis once each day now and basically for free, after all. At bare minimum I can confirm that BST walks all over everything. With Quie though it might need help. I'm not sure how much of a factor haste was for my BST when I killed it. Bene is a bitch. Also THF will not solo and must duo with a mage at the very least.

If empys are so easy peasy why care if you don't have the means to upgrade em further. They are perfectly fine how they are at 90 anyways. Heck I was probably one of the first people to make a 95 empy, and I don't even give a shit about upgrading it to 99 atm. All they add is a few base dmg, I'm not gonna pay another 60m for that. I did mine to 95, hoping 99 would be some uber upgrades, but empy gets nothing but base dmg increase, fuck that. I would not even do it to 95 if I had the chance to go back in time and undo it. The only weapon really worth making 99 is the harp, since that actualy gives you a big bonus of one more song.

Look at my woe weapons, all sitting at 90, I don't care about buying up devious dice to upgrade em further. Spend 10m gils to add 3 more base dmg okay!

If they lower HMP amount required, everyone will start to sell them for 1-2m each. Same thing happened to riftdross/cinder. They were like 100k before, now they are 1m soon as they announced the reduced numbers.

Mythics are not impossible, you will just have to slowly farm it yourself, and hope the nyzul patch will bring alot more alex.

I find it bs they didn't lower the riftdross/cinder requirements. That stuff is pretty rare too, and it will be impossible to get once people stop farming the 2 mobs. Hopefully they will add drops to new tiers.

Relic trial is by far the easiest with the least amount of work. No one is gonna sell you umbrals, so saying it will cost as much as empy is laughable. 5 umbrals you will do with your linkshell, and they will be free. Maybe if you try and pay 18 people to help you kill ADL it will cost you gil.

I know this much though, I will finish 99 relic before I finish 99 empy.

You're wrong certain ls on Asura is selling umbrals at 30 mil each pretty sure others will merc them aswell once they get a few of there own relics done.

As long as SE makes adjustments to the drop rate of HMP in some way, I won't care to collect 1,500 HMP. Doing an LS event of voidwatch for 8 to 9 hours and only walking away with 1 HMP, if that, is redundant.

[Erics]

With the update in 7 days, I pray, an announcement of HMP adjustments comes soon... Come on SE wtf, Let us know you increased the drop rate or they are more common in the new VW mobs. GIVE US SOMETHING! :c!

[Zinato]

At this point the update is too near to make a change now, (or at least i'm sure that's the excuse we will get) we will see soon enough what the final decision is. Arguing among ourselves won't do any good.

I'm hoping to get a consensus that ADL, Salvage and VW content needs to be keep relevant by adding new drops etc. But I agree that we'll know more in a few days.

Me? I can't wait.

[Erics]

Most of us don't care if they don't reduce the 1,500 needed. We just want an adjustment to the drop rate in some way. Like I have mentioned before, doing VW 8-9 hours a day per run and only seeing 1, or if any, HMP is complete redundancy.
