Due to the following update done on 3/10/2025, it is no longer possible for players to complete the Records of Eminence Quest Content (Limbus) > Spoils ([colored] chip).

For example: Spoils (Magenta Chip) is able to be flagged in my quest log, but the items are not obtainable any longer in the game.

Are there any plans to address this in a future update?

[Dragoy]

There were some concerns of this happening voiced out, but I was kiiind of thinking they were thinking... and would not do it, but it does seem like it did happen.

Kiiind of not surprised either though...

Would indeed be good to amend that!

Most likely yes, but they're not going to tell us how the revised limbus is going to work until its coming.

Personally didn't realize the RoE would be inaccessible, haven't really touched the content at all. Probably should've since I am working toward 1000 RoE Quest, atm stuck near 900 with left ones kinda tough or taking too much time on my end, being only playing during return home mostly.


oh well... ^^;

[Alhanelem]

I don't think those are RoEs that most people did regularly.

But did they really simply just make the chips not drop anymore? if you can't get into limbus it doesn't really seem like something you'd need to change.

[GoltanaBuukki]

Limbus is down. The chip are literally unobtainable. They didn't add them to the curio like the other items they added. So unless they plan on bringing these items back for another purpose down the line, it's not possible to complete this ROE. The quote I posted in my original message suggests these items have simply been removed from the game/circulation and you can't get them anymore. But that would mean the RoE categories are unable to be completed. A huge oversight if so.

[Alhanelem]

Maybe I just don't remember how it all worked i haven't done it in probably a decade.

I thought you had to farm enemies in sea to get the chips to gain access?

But really, you're not missing much here, why is this even an issue? Obviously they intend for it to be possible again after, or they would have removed those objectives.

The thing is, the February update made the chips unavailable. If they were "unobtainable" because the only means of obtaining them was temporarily unavailable, that's when they should have been declared "unobtainable."

Announcing that on the next update, when nothing has visibly changed about the ability to acquire them, is saying these items will not be available again. This is supported by the removal of Arch-Ultima/Arch-Omega drops from potpourri. There's no reason those items needed to be removed unless the content they came from is not returning. Sure, having them available for potpourri is a little redundant when you can just buy the gear they're used to make, but it wouldn't be the first time redundant means of getting an item were left in the game.

All signs are pointing to Limbus as we knew it being scrapped in its entirety to make room for the refreshed version, which is... really not great. It's saying that, no, the game prior to item level play really doesn't matter at all.

I'm glad I saw this coming and made time to dash out those RoE objectives before the Limbus shutdown; now I just wonder if those completions are going to be clawed back; either they become impossible for anyone to complete in the future, or they're taken away from players who already completed them, neither of these are good choices.

From what I see, think it was just temp disabling the content, as in remodding the content for updated version. Nothing new with its younger sibling also does similar, there's even disabled contents that take years before it being resurfaced as a more fresh play experience.

That doesn't say that at all, if you ask me. But again, with the content being out for multiple updates, it could just be another step in the process. If the items are going to be permanently unavailable then those objectives should be removed/replaced. That they haven't done that yet means either they forgot, they don't care, or they intend to make them doable again.

But like I said... I don't think most people ever farmed chips for this purpose....
