Wow, I'm lucky if I see 1 HP Bayld every 4 Colonization Rieve. So for me to get 4000 would be equivalent to 16,000 Colo runs. Or 4000 WKR, or 4000 Legend level Scouts Coalition runs (best one so far with 3 Imps yields 11k Bayld).
You must be really busy not trying "at all" lol
I had like 8m bayld before the HP version up, so I just spent that on HP.
I get HP all day long on easy lair rieves. And they are like 5 min repop lol.
And I spam legend assignments too. It all adds up. I sold all my HP for 16k each.
And the point I was making was that its all super easy solo content which drops HP, unlike VW which is alliance+proc and has a terrible drop rate.
Seriously if SE let me choose HP instead of HMP/cinders for my empys, I would light fireworks and dance around for joy. :P
I probably should have specified that I meant relatively high, with them being still newish and all. I didn't mean to imply that there were hundreds of people tripping over each other lining up to get their weapons but demand is probably as high as it's ever going to be without changes to the ease of obtaining them. As time goes on and HP bayld becomes rarer and rarer more and more people will drop out of the race and try to cut their loses and they'll go the same route as Empyrean weapons. That's what happens when you attach upgrade items that you literally need thousands of to content that you need multiple people to do and have them drop only 1~20 at a time.
Probably not a huge amount. I'd estimate I've tossed no more than 5. I like to solo XP sometimes down in Outer Ra'Kaznar, but there's a Colonization Reive that's always getting in my way. I've gotten several HP Bayld which I didn't want to bother bazaaring and like 9 JSE capes in the process.
Last time I checked spreadsheet, using TP/WS set posted on AH forum, RUN ergon weapon with AM3 spamming reso can only do around 85% of dmg of Tsuru SAM on same target under same buff. I didn't add lunge/swipe dmg, but it has long recast time and you need runes to do it, which lowers DPS to put them back up, so I didn't calculate it.
A koga SAM can do a lot more than Tsuru SAM, and if you count the DPS lose to get 300 TP to activate(RUN probably get TP slower than SAM, mind you), then ergon GS is no where close to Koga's dmg. You can' compare DPS directly and say ergon GS is stronger DD weapon than mythic.
It's more of a tank weapon than DD weapon, if you want a DD weapon you'd build koga for cheaper price. It's certainly job changing enough to justify the price, but so does better mythics(which are cheaper)
As did I, that got me 8 stacks of 99 HP..... out of 132 stacks of HP needed to take this quest to conclusion. Drain every resource you have, spend all the gil you can, this will barely put a dent in the number of HPs required.
2 JPs i know on my server have actually finished theirs. From what I hear their entire LS donated all their Bayld to help them accomplish this. Now that I think about it, SE maybe made these with that type of cultural mindset in place. If so they sure did underestimate North American player mentality then lol. Its way more, every man for himself.
I hit the "Show All" List on FFXIAH and went from there, averaging the prices on all servers as to be fair. Otherwise at the time I posted it, there was 1 seller on Asura for Mulcib Scoria... for 10mil.
That said, I had assumed PW drops were 5, same as Relic, didn't bother to look :\
I agree, least I think I do!
Comparing something like RUN/GEO Ergons to DD Mythics in terms of raw damage output is a meaningless comparisons, Since RUN/GEO Mythics are more closely like Yagrush and Burtgang, and those are not used for the DD potential, but for the utility...while its DPS is a nice bonus, its real potential and power comes from PDTII-25%, allowing RUN to get -75% PDT with it.
