Records of Eminence!

[Camate]

Greetings,

Reward-wise there are items for level 1 to 50 and then a gap until level 99. Would it be possible to have items for level 50+ as well?

After level 50, the choices for weapons grows quite large, so this isn’t something that we can address easily. However, if there enough requests for it we will look into it.

I have some follow-up information regarding the above.

In the April version update we will be adding level 50-99 weapons that can also be created by synthesis to the items you can purchase with Records of Eminence.

Good. It's so much more important to have a good weapon at those levels, yet they are hard to obtain!

For the most part, I do enjoy the introduction of RoE; however it does lose a little something when you're not really obtaining anything from it. I by no means have issues with sparks as they come easily so needing say the 15k for a rem tale 6-10 isn't a problem, but the coupons you get from the "New Challenge" are rather meh if you do not need RME upgrade items. Yes, I could get said items to sell for a little extra gil, but do you realize how many players are doing that? Pluton (at least on Siren) are the only thing worth selling and because of that the market is flooded with them. Are there any plans to add other items to obtain via the coupons? I am in total agreement that at least the synth mats for the AF+1 upgrade be put there as well as HMPs and Cinder/Dross since VW is not really being done anymore.

So far they're only at Copper coupons. I expect future updates will add Silver and Gold ones with more rewards.

For ROE I would like to see some trials where you need to defeat NMs other than wkr such as

Defeat tutewehiwehi 500 sparks
Defeat arch dynamis lord 1000 sparks

Some other cool job specific ROE would be nice

Use provoke x50 500 sparks
Cast x50 blue magic spells 300 sparks
Cast x50 enhancing magic spells 300

Specific death shots would be an easy system to implement

Defeat x100 enemies with a weaponskill 500 sparks

Defeat x100 enemies with magical attacks 500 sparks

Different types of spoils other than crystals would be nice such as

Obtain 5,000 Gil from beastmen
Obtain x15 synthesis items from enemies

Completing content obtaining points would be nice such as

Participate in dynamis for 2 hours
Participate in x3 rounds of meeble burrows
Clear one chamber of einherjar

Ideas for rewards;

Some type of argument system for the wayfarer espial ect armor. Perhaps use sparks to buy NQ +1 +2 to get somewhat decent stats but do not ruin other elements of gear like skirmish or delve.. Perhaps augments such as resist paralyze +10 or regen +1 ,
The introduction of sparks gear was phenomenal and beneficial to many, and at a first glance looks good... However all of this armor is horrible in its current state... Example
5/5 skirmish hagondes set with +2 stones is a potential +130 magic attack bonus plus -15-20 pdt while wayfarer has under 20 magic acc and mab, with no refresh unless you wear all 5 pieces and 0 pdt,the + all stats is high, but outside of that, this is not ideal combat armor.. Please keep your trend of augmenting seekers of adoulin armor up

Outside of some minimal adjustments I am extremely pleased with records of eminence! I love spamming aeroga ----> stonega ~~~~> aeroga ----> stonega on puks forever for quick sparks, But we need more stuff to do

No way. Most of it is better then anything but Delve and Skirmish2 gear. I think it's too good. It kinda defeats the purpose of doing any other events, particularly WKRs.

Example:

Obtained from the newest WKR. Elemental seal adds a 2% damage bonus.
vs.

Obtained from sparks. Latent effect activated by having less than 100% tp(I believe).

The only reason to use Baqil would be because you can't equip eminent. I think this is a little backwards.

Edit: I see now that you said armor. While not actually applicable to that, my point stands on its own.

Well the armor/weapons do give people a chance to reach ilevel 117 where they might not otherwise have that chance. That's got to count for something.

Precisely. This is especially so for those (like myself) who really don't have the playtime available to migrate into Adoulin content or, to be honest, just prefer mainland content in an increasingly solo-friendly game.

[Frankbrodie]

Saying the RoE armor is terrible compared to the 5/5 skirmish +2 (whatever that may be. I have never touched SoA except to unlock the two jobs) is a little unfair.

I'm assuming the best of the best SoA gear takes a good while, and/or loads of gil to obtain. Buying upgrade items etc.

Whereas the RoE gear takes an hour or so to get a full set of any of the 4 sets available. Solo. Whilst doing other stuff.

That is what makes it so great in my eyes. I get rewarded doing stuff I would have been doing anyway.
