Oh how I look forward to buying my nice 5 Ephemeron Cells which will probably run for 20~30Mil+... yay~

/sigh -_-

Not that I'm in love with this system because I think they could have done better, but that is essentially 10-15 days of Dynamis farming. I mean, at least there IS an option to buy instead of spending those same 10-15 days spamming the mob and walking away with nothing. Supply might be a problem at first, but there is no longer a restriction to have the item before obtaining a Pulse cell for it, so I can see more and more cells being generated as time passes. And there are weakness items now, so rarer mobs that people don't do as much in PUGs will be rendered easier.

Actually I was meaning 20~30mil each ;; I figure the drop rate of that sword being roughly 1~.01% and not many people seem to do Aello without actually wanting the sword themselves the price will be very very high. I expect my Ephemeron to run me about as much as my Excalibur simply due to few Aello runs done on this server combined with the extremely low drop rate. Items such as T3 Jeuno & T4 City bodys might be cheaper, but I think at best I will be looking at about 10mil for each cell for Ephemeron. I still think HQ weapons like Ephemeron have what seem to be a lower drop rate and should only be 2~3 cells not 5 like the bodys, but eh, just my experience from it.

Er, 20-30M for 1/5th of a Pulse weapon? I can't see any scenario under which people will sell for that much. Even if they do, hardly anybody will buy. I can't see people deeming Ephemeron to be worth 100-150M.

Neither can I but the drop rates are the cause, lower drop rate=higher cost, there are many things in this game that people price very unreasonably due to low drop rates even if the fights are simple and easy. Rarity of the shouts for this NM on my server along with the incredibly low drop rate leads me to believe it will be incredibly over priced, 20~30mil only comes to mind for the reason that I figure plates are about a 10~20% drop rate from what I have seen and are ranging about 1mil~1.5mil each depending on luck or selling the pouches without opening them. In 40 fights with 18 people 2 people have gotten an Ephemeron, this suggests that its a 1/360 chance, where as a pouch is 1/10~1/5 chance. Also count in the fact the person getting the Ephemeron in their chest chose to make it a cell and not keep it, thus giving up a chance at this rare sword, I think the price could be that high, warranted or not. Ephemeron is a cool sword, but I would never place it as high as a relic, even if it does look cool and have amazing stats.
