It's bad enough to hide it behind some ludicrous RNG, now it's a lottery for those fortunate enough to get more than one? Could this be the single worst implementation of a glamor item in this game yet?

You say that like it's a bad thing. This was already the case, and people were going to sell their extras anyway. Being able to sell them on the MB will just make the price drop.

No regrets about using it here. It is my new favourite hair. If I get a 2nd one I can pretty much make 10 million though. I guess I'm doing palace again :P

They were going for 3 mil tonight on Odin. I'm not willing to pay that much for hair sadly, I'll keep hunting my own. xD

3mil for the hair? ... Lol, I gave my second one to a friend on Odin for a music box for my apartment that was only worth about 360k x)

I can't say I like that the female version has a hairpin on yet, yet the male one doesn't. I'd prefer if the female version didn't have a hairpin, also.

The hairpin is the best part.

It is a bad thing. People who want the hair are either prisoners to the RNG, or at the mercy of the market. It's BS, anyone the RNG smiles upon is effectively gifted X amount of gil, and anyone not, is shafted for that amount. Great way to make me feel good about running PotD which has become one of my least favorite things to do.

6 million on Behemoth? Forget it. I'd rather roast a moneterist.

Supply and demand is a thing, every single novelty item ends up devalued after more and more people already have it while more and more people keep getting it, the hairstyle went from 10m in PF to 1.2m in the marketboard in just a day, and we don't even have the good accursed hoards yet, by the time 3.45 is out that hairstyle will be pretty much worthless.

I think it's fine to have some incentive items. It will go down in price drastically or get nerfed eventually as always happens in these events.

All I've had is single fireworks. I don't think those sacks contain anything else.... Unless the guy evaluating them is on the take., I thought he was dodgy

It's a female elezen doing the appraising. She gave me some minions at first and now she's decided to just give me fireworks now.

Yep. Once a upon a time, the Thavnairian went for millions. Now? 9,000 on Balmung.

Well, at least it's a step up from being at the mercy of RNG or nothing. This way there's an alternative available for those who would rather pay for it than just keep grinding and grinding and grinding until they get lucky.

And prices will come down. (It sounds like they're already starting to.) Once more of the people who want the hair already have it, the hair that drops is more likely to end up on the MB, and fewer people will be buying. It won't be long until it becomes a trash drop you can maybe put up for a few hundred or thousand gil. It's only expensive now because it's still new enough to be rare.

I got lucky and got the hairstyle really fast but I still find it bad to put this behind RNG..clothes, minions, mounts..all those I can understand but not one single hairstyle..Were the amount of people doing the palace so bad that they needed another incentive so soon?

And I truly dislike that you get fireworks out of this..one time I had 7 bags...4 of those were firework..at least if you put them in the bag make the amount higher..one firework is even more useless.

Well the good point in this is that more people are in Palace so it's easier to get the weapon ^^"

Well since its now sell able on the MB and you can get it even on the lower floors (thank god..) I fear that this will not last long. And does this mean that the palace was already that death that they needed another incentive for people to run it? Well at least I can do it solo in the lower floors and hopefully get lucky at the same time and get some upgrades for my weapon and some items for the mount.

I understand your frustration, but that's pretty much how the entire game and its items/ economy works. Like the coffin lid a few patches ago, rare Aquapolis drops, and even crafting mats from primals - sometimes you're the one that lucks out and gets a hefty bonus to your bank balance, and sometimes you're the one that misses out.

That being said, 6 million is completely ridiculous. The idiot who actually buys that deserves to be parted from their money.

I got mine yesterday, but not by my own merits, instead it dropped to my bf. Apparently the animation of the appraisal is disco-like, with lots of flashes and lights. I have yet to see it drop to me after 150+ appraisals ;_; bf got today a second one and he's around 80ish sacks. Prize on Excalibur has dropped to around a million right now, with maybe 20 in stock.
But I am so happy ^^ I don't have any highlights on and it just looks gorgeous, I wanted it so bad ever since I saw it in the trailer ;_; the cut on the back is perfect imo :D Idk if you can see it but if you look closely, you can see all the irregular incisions, just like real hair!

Same for me. I been farming potd trying to get it with no luck, my EB partner got it first and gave it to me :)

We are still farming to try to get him the hairstyle now. RNG can be so cruel at times lol. Plus side we are having a blast farming potd with the new loot drops.

My sister got it on our very first PotD run after they introduced the loot. She absolutely hates the style and would've gladly given it away if she had known it was so rare. I do PotD multiple times daily for easy experience + gil and I still haven't gotten it. Granted I don't want/like it either but yeah, it's unfortunate for those who do want it.

I'll probably post here if I ever do get it for anyone on Jenova looking for it, keep your eyes open.

So it is. I couldn't see her due to the crowds :) she still hasn't given me anything good. Mainly fireworks and a few cheap materia

Finally...

I got the hairstyle... but not on my own either. My friend got the drop and decided she didn't want it so she gave it to me. I told her to just sell it ofc, I'd get the drop eventually... but the price on my server already down to a mil on MB and she said she already makes more than that selling other things daily... so...

I takes!

Ayy, They're selling for 700k Gil here of faerie lol its how I bought mine. Gives a nice and well earned big fat crooked and unwashed middle finger to the bullshit stacked rng it takes to get it. Lmao

took mine today as well, was gonna sell it but its going for too little
Don't really like the hairstyle though but meh...its collected.
10-10-2016, 01:40 AM
LunaFaye

1.5 mil on my server and if you get 5 - 7 of them it's good money or at least what I call pocket change..., but we all know that's gonna change. Still hate the fact that it's rng and some people didn't got any, always feel bad when a friend tells me, he runs it 20 times a day just to get fireworks and I sit there debating with myself if I gonna sell it, or just give it to him lol. I know I am a bad person, but then again, I can't just hand him everything, gotta put some effort in it, right?

This isn't really a new thing though. A lot of stuff in this game is tied to RNG. It comes with the territory of playing a MMO.

I got mine by farming floor 1-10 only. Maybe try that? I'm not sure if you are doing more floors but I am guessing 1-10 is probably the most efficient way to try to get it.

I am, and my collection of pointless fireworks has never been so exstensive...

So I went into PoTD with the bf and did 1-10 a few times to see how it went. We came out with 1 bronze bag for each 1-10 run. Not managed to find one without using a pomander yet and we're usually getting a pomander of intuition on floor 5 and floor 8-9, which has failed to give us one every time so far, hence why we've only been getting one hoard. I've seen a thread on Reddit mention locations to check based on the map, but to be honest I was struggling to get my head around it. We're using affluence prior to going up a floor where possible too. :)

Does anyone have any tips for finding hoards without pomanders please? Thanks! :)

I got my first hoard accidently by standing for few seconds when fighting adds. So yeah, try to stand at some middle area for few seconds.

Tried that already I'm afraid. Middle and at four corners to boot, waited 5 seconds+ to be safe too. D: Thanks though!

Friend of mine got 2 of them 6 runs apart... and he wasn't even at 50 runs (of floors 1-10) for his first one. I envy his luck!

It seems to me that some of them are at the exact place were normally traps would be. Even had one that had still a trap underneath them. Not really sure if this information is that helpful and if you dont have a pomander you cant see them either. But maybe if you run into a trap stand in that place a little longer.

I only found on chest without it and it was purely luck.

After turning in literally hundreds of hoards and finally getting the red panda minion but STILL no hairstyle, I just bought it off the MB >.>

...only to realize that the hairpin is wtf neon shimmery GREEN. Great, there go 1,3 mio :mad:
Who the heck thought "Oh hey, let's make this really sought after hairstyle REALLY hard to obtain, and then make it unusable for everyone who cares about color combinations by adding accesories in non-neutral colors!:D"?

The hairpin is really small...I think you are making it a bigger deal than it is....

Some head slot gear likely covers it so you could do that.
