[dev1098] New Merchant NPC Items: Needs more Raise III

[Psxpert2011]

Personally, in this day and age Raise III is something I consider to be a trophy piece or the last spell for the collection, a novelty at best. Even at 75 it was common for all DD to use RR earrings before an event and after each death. Even then RIII was only used to speed up the process of revivals in mass wipes and to prevent exp loss in a time exp was much harder to come by. Fast forward to today, in addition to standard RR earrings DD have access to cheap CP scrolls of RR, Twilight mail of some jobs granting instant RIII, Temp RR scrolls in VW, Atma of Apoc in Abyssea, Auto-raise in WoE. That all assumes 1) a timed event where raising quickly is critical and 2) there is a danger of frequent death. (Zombie has never been an effective strategy) Add to that WHM has 2 other Raise spells that grant the same effect but don't reduce EXP loss as much, given that everyone is capped exp at all times now exp loss isn't a perk anymore. RIII is worth 3k and not a gil more, that's where it was for many years, until the recent obsurd inflation. Besides, anyone brave enough to call you gimp won't be getting a raise anyway. Those are my thoughts.

Good insight!

Pricey scrolls, go out and have fun with your friends getting it for free(that is what this game(MMO) is about anyway,right?)

RI,II,II are for noobs! Can't wait until Arise comes around, what fun will we have nit-picking at that subject. Will there be bugs? Who knows if the test went smoothly. If your too dumb to get a RR scroll, a book RR, or too cheap for a RR gorget, earring, maybe you deserve a R1. :PP

Yeah, the scroll of Raise III goes for 900k on my server but that's greed for you, when you know no one's going to go out of their way to help you get it for free.

Lol, i see noobs /shout ing for retrace over and over and over as if the sky will fall. I'm friendly to tell them or bluntly shout in reaction that "if you do campaign, you should be able to get retrace scroll for cheap!" and also, "you can get retrace rings". It's so cheap and accessible that there's no reason to pass it up and not get into the habit in replacing a use item like that each time you use it.

I always try to be self reliant if I can help it(unless I'm in a event/ party and there's complimentary tele/warp.

Yeah, I can't wait for it either. *tank dies* "Have Arise?" "Nope." *sigh, rb3 then..."

Translation: Currently Arise is planned to be "difficult to obtain," and considering that Raise III is already difficult to obtain, I wouldn't count on the white mage in your party having the spell.

what is the point of this? Raise1 them and move along. In this age exp gain is not an issue. My whm mule will never have r3, its pointless.

arise will be different.....maybe. lol

[Dazusu]

The whole idea of weakness timer, and EXP loss went out the window when Abyssea arrived.

[Trisscar]

Obviously Raise 3 drop rate should depend on how many people your alliance have raised since the characters were created. So old players have 100% drop rate, and new players have to walk around the dunes and raise people.

What people? No one parties in the dooms any more, haha.

people should just be happy to get a raise no matetr its lvl i hate when people complain. WHAT dont r2 me r 3 me. me.....w we are raiding and none of us have r3 take what you get now stop wasting time!

It's not about EXP loss. Arise reduces the time spent weakened.
