Heavy metal plates.

Please SE it is time to drastically lower the requirements, 1500 is far too many. This was far too many when people were doing VW now it is nearly impossible to complete this task, it has gone as far as people needing to server transfer to obtain them. the other 119 weapons are all able to be worked on solo with empyreans just left behind, somebody like myself with 8 empyrean weapons collecting dust in my moghouse this is extremely frustrating.

Doing this very simple update would also start people on VW again which would alleviate congestion in other problem areas such as AA.

i would rather have them add pouches to every VW boss fight and singles to every VW city fight. While also adding them to be puchased via A.M.A.N vouchers or sparks

With a drop rate increase I would also agree with this solution.

Players on Lakshmi don't spam mortal for merit?

Firstly no, second say you average 1 plate per run, which I would say is accurate that's 1500 runs. I doubt anybody would call that acceptable.

You shouldn't do morta 1500 times for drop though, just buy them with gil. On my server morta is spammed to death for merit.

I just wanna build a ton of empies for show pieces, idk if I'll actually do the plates...

I think 1500/60 is fine, but the end weapon should be a little stronger.

[Numquam]

AMAN vouchers should be used for this. Like a 1 for 1 exchange.

1500 is actually quite silly now.

It stands to reason 1500 was designed and implemented likely with the idea Voidwatch would be the popular go-to event, and with everyone doing them, they would be reasonably abundant (like Alexandrite TBH...), but now, Voidwatch is essentially dead space, wasted content, used only for Merit points, and even then its rather limited on a lot of servers (Can safely say I've only seen 1-2 Morta shouts for exp in recent memory).

1500 just needs to go, its far too many for how little voidwatch is done these days, there are some things that should stay difficult, for good reason, however there are some things that should be toned down or made simpler for equally good reasons, H.M plates are one of those things that need to be toned down for good reason, the reason being the 1500 number was likely balanced around Voidwatch being the center of the XI endgame for the time being, this is no longer the case, so without them adding new methods for getting HMP, regardless of how much easier those fights may be, the number is scaled far too high for its effort.

I don't think 1 for 1 excange for AMAN vouchers will really fix the issue. You must realize at that exchange rate you could get two I.lv 119 Relic weapons with the same amount of vouchers? (its a 2:1 scale for vouchers/Plutons). Does that not sound remotely insane to anyone? At the current stage, Empyreans are easier to 119 then they are to 95, this is a moment in time when people ned to realize making something easier isn't WoW'ing the game, but a natural evolution of easing something based on content supporting it becoming outdated.

Okay, I think I've said the same thing in 3 paragraphs now so maybe It'll sink in to people head in one of the three ways I've described it. Point being, HMP stage needs to be significantly reduced. Maybe requiring as little as 150-300. Voidwatch is just not the center of the universe as it was, Sorry for everyone who did the 1500 stage back when it was reasonable but difficult, calm down the angerboner at the thought of people accomplishing things easier than you, and lets address it reasonably. (Alex should be reevaluated too but whatever)
