Primal Battles Preview (12/10/2013)

I remember the old Warrior and Dragoon start from 1.0, with ring of thorns and steel cyclone to get the 13 nails down >.<

Learning a new class was a pain but my relic was worth it

More then 400 I believe. Because I manage to get my Relic.

AF too weak now.

Sorry, but you just pulled these numbers out of your butt.

Here is some actual census info that I have organized from XIV Pads:

All-time recorded characters: 49,036
(NOTE: Value is not representative of entire populace, merely those characters and linkshells accessed via xivpads.)

Relic distribution of above characters:

BLM: 1008
MNK: 964
WHM: 834
WAR: 714
BRD: 612
PLD: 584
DRG: 887

Amount who have earned any by v1.23: 5603 (11.4%)
Amount who have earned all by v1.23: 272 (0.6%)

because relics are hard to get?

I can't wait to see the forums cry about the EX primals

Even 11.4% is a very low percentage for the tiny population we had in 1.23.

We are talking about 1.0 relics.

Not really because not everyone went after a relic. That's the % of people who went after it - When it got significantly easier and people able to more reliably buy relic clears, even Yoshida said it's become way too common.

I did only the Hamlet Portion for Relic..well look at that, that's at least 1 person who didn't decide to finish off their relic meaning, yep..not everyone attempted a full relic in 1.x.

I would think most people give up at the "Hamlet" stage rather than the Ifrit Ex stage.
- Can't win the RNG lots against other people
- Can't stand the month+ of grind to get the seals

... ignore him, he has no idea what he is talking about. One of the biggest JP servers and no one has ilvl 90? Myth and Allagan is everywhere here too.

Taking bets on what the Extreme carries will start at. 1m? 2m? I expect to see the shouts within the first week. FC on our server has been constantly spamming (obviously getting enough business to keep shouting) for 180k Titan HMs for well over a month, likely two at this point.

And it's obvious that the Extremes will be cleared quickly. Coil is still the harder content, so people that are coil geared will outgear the Extreme primal fights allowing for more mistakes while learning them.

I only said what I see and personally I don't see many. ( because perhaps I don't always hang with the lvl 50 crowd so much to see many. Besides to get full myth gear on 1 job you really need to be dedicated every week to get tomes to get a full set on 1 job.

For the past week I been mining ( I just got it to 50) maybe that's the reason XD

That is why I never got to that point in 1.0.

I will squeeze King Mog to death.

Planning on 800-900k, need to see how much people are willing to pay. I'm sure legacy servers will be 2m+ easy though.

You'll need to take them through all three primals to complete the quest, and from the sounds of it the primals have the same weekly lockout that coil has.

I wouldn't charge a gil below 2 million if that is the case.

I really hope that you get a Moogle-Egi for Summoner or Scholar. If so i will throw away my WHM/BLM and hop onto the Moogle train! >:D
