Cause running M4 once a week for 7 weeks is so much work right? Sure get a 240 weapon in less than that. How about we make it one week. How about NO, people work hard for a 240 relic and you want a 240 Lore for next to no effort. Got it.

I prefer getting nidhogg's 235 weapon than 240 since the stats only few differences. If you compare them it's more worthy to grind nidhogg than 7 weeks of 1 lore weapon. It's up to you guys tho I just give recommendation for obtaining the 230 lore weapon. If you like that way then I don't care with it.

I mean, you can get an ilvl235 weapon in a day if you really wanted to, maybe even two. There's no reason to gate a weapon 5 ilvls lower behind a weekly drop anymore.

My guess is that they'll go from 20 to 15 but I suppose we'll find out soon enough. I was about to turn in 20 of each for my alt this week but am glad i saw this. She only needs the dungeons for her 230 and i was about to run them. If it goes to 10 i'll have enough for two relics less the hq items which for me at least are pretty easy to get. Grinding another set of crystals won't take that long.

It's not a 230, it's a 240. The upgrade item for this is simply easy to get. I have a few 230's to upgrade and the upgrade items are sitting on my retainer.

Nidhogg, Anima & Potd are 230-235 & can be done infinitely, 2 of them within 24 hours or less, I don't see why they will keep the 7 week requirement on Midan Gears. The notes also say that there will be other things they didn't mention & I am hoping they get rid of that weekly cap bc I need some more Lore wepweps :v

I could see that. My theory those is they want to make it easier for people who come back for the the next raid tier, especially now that it will likely be going up to ilvl 270.

I guess they'll decrease the 680 poetics/esos per item.

Higher weapon damage is a reason.

This is a 230 weapon and requires 7 weeks. Conversely you can spend a day grinding potd and you have a 235.

Running M4 takes 10 minutes at most. You can have the weapon in about an hour. And again, it's no longer a 230 weapon, it's a 240 with upgrade. Sorry but I don't subscribe to the make everything easier crowd. A 240 weapon comparable to relic shouldn't be given away cause people want it with little effort.
