Alabaster Matter and Murky Matter at 100% drop when the gold box conditions are fulfilled is a welcomed addition.
Many of my friends, that I've cleared most FFXI endgame content with, won't participate in Limbus due to the amount of drudgery involved in the augment system. The biggest obstacles from my experience are the matters.
