Weekends must be longer where you are than where I am. 21 NMs all with a minimum respawn of 1 hour is 21 hours if you got really lucky and every NM repopped right on the 1 hour mark, and after visiting jeuno, the next NM was already up. In reality, there's always 1 NM that decides to be a b*tch and wait out 8 hours to respawn, and the rest will be an average of ~2 hours.

And some of us like to catch up on sleep over the weekends too, and you can only get lucky enough to get others to do 1 trial for you whilst you sleep.

And then there's the VNMs, minimum of 2 hours per NM, assuming that you either have friends willing to drop everything and go help you, or you're dual-boxing and the job you are on is able to DB the VNMs you need. Some are easily soloable on the right jobs, but others can be nasty. If your friends aren't available to help, or you can DB it, then you have to shout for assistance... that could be your whole weekend taken up right there.

And at last you're onto the 175 abyssea NMs, all that require KIs to pop, and if your weapon starts out in tahrongi (Chloris or Glavoid) then you could spend a full day in that 1 zone.

As for "replacing it with another weapon that took you a weekend to make", this is only true under 1 of 2 conditions:

1) You beat the required delve NMs before the depop nerf.

2) You have a decent WHM BRD COR or SCH levelled.

Otherwise, noone's inviting you to join their delve fights, and it doesn't matter how quickly you can get the plasm if you don't have the KI.
