Black Belt items [dev1009]

[Kari]

This just cracks me up to no end. SE gave all the "newer" mnks exactly what they asked for, along with people in the general threads about making xp outside abyssea useful again, and y'all are still crying.You wanted hnms claims, more hq claims, you got em. You seriously didn't expect SE to just hand this to you did you? My god they hand out +1/2 like candy now and going to make that even easier. Quit complaining and enjoy the fact that instead of 1 shot per day at the item you can now have many shots at it.

Say what? They gave us nothing of what we asked for. We never asked for this to be easier. This has nothing to do with XPing outside of Abyssea either.
You don't show the slightest bit of intelligence with this post.
They made an annoying method of gaining a job specific item, a different type of annoying.
When they told us they were going to solve the problems with HNMs, we expected lower respawn timers [as 24 hours for these things is simply ridiculous, this is the only game I can think of with such respawn times on anything.], not this.
Sure, it doesn't harm me in the slightest. This doesn't mean SE made a smart move.

there was always many shots at it. just nobody wanted to do any other KS99 other than early bird, and its still like this., finding people for KS99s just sucks.

make the rewards worthwhile for the people not wanting BB and maybe more people will be willing to help a MNK.

Have you seen the bazaar prices on the kings pop items that are 100% drop from the KSNMs? That's one worthwhile reason for people to help. Adamantoise pop is going for something like 1.5mil on my server. And if someone wants to risk using their pop item to try to get an HQ pop, those are selling for downright obscene prices.

I completed my BB, all three items from the new system (egg and beard from KSNMs, tongue from KB that a friend popped). I didn't pay for any of my items, got em from drops. Even made some money off the pop item that I sold, obtained in the turtle KSNM where I got my egg to make me 3/3. I dreaded the new changes at first too, but it's not impossible.

It's a little harder to outright buy the items like you used to be able to from HNMLS, but at least popping the NQ kings is something within reach of a small group now instead of needing to be in an HNMLS or being at their mercy to buy their drops.

i cant wait for all the people to wipe to nid / KB and let me claim it. as a monk with black belt this update made me laugh so hard. its like kids begging SE for a cake and when the cake isnt the flavor they want they still complain.

Couldn't agree more with this statement. If the belt drop % was still 100% on niddy I would be willing to say there be only 1% of people crying of this just because they want something to cry about. The fact that you pop Kings from KS99 is amazing beyond belief. I lived was in kings zones for ever years ago camping these and was proud when I became 3/3. I even feel tad more pride about having this item now that see how SE making it more manageable for others.

The way I read it:

regular King have 0 % chance to drop BB items

KSNM will drop 1-??? items to pop regular king, and 10% chance to drop BB item
Regular king has a chance to drop item to spawn HQ king, 0% chance to drop BB item
HQ has a chance to drop BB item.

In summary, ksnm and regular king no longer give ANY shot at BB item, how is that better at all?

KSNM 99 and regular King have 0 % chance to drop BB items

KSNM will drop 1-??? items to pop regular king
Regular king has a chance to drop item to spawn HQ king
HQ has a chance to drop BB item.

In summary, ksnm and regular king no longer give ANY shot at BB item, Everything went better then expected!

edited for accuracy!

Was just saying its not a second chance when the second mob has a 0% chance to drop.
