Once every 3 days, not twice a week. Twice a week is the arbitrary schedule set up by 99.9% of all Dynamis linkshells because it's a pain to schedule for every 3 days exactly. Don't know why I'm even bringing this up.

New Dynamis is done for 2 hours maximum, or 120 minutes. But, it can be done everyday of the week, so 120 x 7 = 840 minutes. Or, in other words, I can spend twice the amount of time in New Dynamis than in the old Dynamis.
Because everyone wants to spend 840 minutes per week in Dynamis instead of 420 minutes per week, right? (That's sarcasm, one of the big complaints about Dynamis is that it takes too much time. Completely self-sponsored, it will take you more hours to complete a relic weapon under the new system, just less gil and less friends)

A bit of market speculation there, eh? If Dynamis currency is more easily attainable, I can see people telling the bazaars in Rolanmart to take a jump off of the bridge. Supply will go way up as more currency is available with this update.
The speculation is not without precedent. When the cost of hourglasses was halved, the currency prices on Fenrir did not drop, they increased. Almost doubled at first, then leveled out at around 1.2-1.5x what they cost before the hourglass cost was halved. Why? When hourglass prices were reduced, the overall cost of a relic weapon was decreased. People who were sponsoring or who wanted to sponsor had more free money at that point to help themselves finish faster by seeking outside currency. In addition to that, more people saw finishing a relic as a possibility, so fewer people were willing to sell- they wanted their own relic instead.

That being said, it is my opinion that currency prices will drop after the update though unless relics are made on-par with empyreans at the exact same time. Just isn't the demand for outside currency lately.
