Not really, you had ample time to rank up, people have been doing it before this event np, so yeah.

How do u know i had "ample time" to rank up? I joined in August...... 2012. You think i had enough time to do everything? <.<

OK, I'm feeling stupid. Doing all day Atomos. Now figured out, you can click up to 5x the Voidstone.

Still no idea on when this is supposed to end?

Nope! and YAY win 1/1 on the United we stand!! :D Last rank up, here i come!

I still need it here... Well, at least I got barding and a nice lance. Anyone still needing UWS on Excalibur, look for me online (around 11-13 and 18-22 GMT+1) :D
As to "ample time", well, my boss disagrees.

Those are the running paths for Atomos at Glory and Everlakes. He makes 2 stops, so if you go to a camp and there is no atomos or rock there, run to the first dot, then the second. If both are empty then you missed that location totally.


I don't know the paths for Bluefog (other than it is towards cutters cry), Brittlebark (other than vagely southwest) or reventant toll.

Ty for maps :) Updated.

Same on all servers. Event is pulled

I literally just turned my things into an npc not 3 seconds ago, went back to check and yep its gone on gungnir too lol

Durandal server NPCs have vanished in all 3 cities as well, they were up 30 mins ago.. tents and items surrounding the NPCs are vanishing and coming back glitching as well

we've been caught!!!

I earned lots seals XD
good thing I tried hard today...
/whistle~~ even though I don't really need

I think it will changed to 1 turn in only... ^^:

seal nerf incoming

It'd be hilarious if this was a developer's oversight just like the Garuda BLM burn back then.

So who do you think opened their mouth?

They're still here on Ridill. Logged back on just to check.

Edit: And he just dissapeared in front of me. The stand and the rest of the npcs are still here, but no cluster/crystal trader.

They probably pulled the NPCs because people were buying Dawn Drops and converting them into gil. 1 Cluster = 250k gil, and 1 crystal = 20.8k gil. If the reason for pulling them were the GC seals themselves, I believe they would have put a stop to it sooner.

People always looking to exploit something.. this is partly why I think a lot of great ideas in MMO dont work because people dont generally like to play without finding an exploit to a system

Yeah the cluster guy just disappeared in front of me. I talked to him at first just to make sure I could still turn in clusters, then a few seconds later he poofed.

Can only hope thats the case. I still need to get some chocobo barding.

Always has to be someone that ruins something like this....

I was just reading the Japanese forums about this topic and it seems they have been discussing "Money parties" on this very subject.. so there could possible be some truth to that however they were discussing this subject several hours ago.. so who knows?

Regarding Balance Adjustments to Atomos (Sep. 14)
We have determined that the "Atomos" monsters located throughout the game are causing an imbalance in loot drops. In order to address this issue, we are making a number of changes to the conditions required to receive the "Over-aspected Cluster" and "Over-aspected Crystal" drops.

Additionally, until these balance adjustments have been completed, the following Grand Company Seal distributing NPCs will be temporarily unavailable. We will post an update as soon as the changes have been implemented.

- Storm Sergeant Solklinsyn
- Serpent Sergeant Nelhah
- Flame Sergeant Gagaleo Pupuleo

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

And there we have it, I guess we can expect a severe drop in the exchange of clusters/crystals for seals..

they took out the npc cuz everyone spammed it till max gc points

This is why we can't have nice things.

Unfortunately those of us who logged on a day after patch now can't get access to the same seals etc that others got. People in shell getting 4 weapons and gear etc, now no npc I'm getting 10k seals and nothing more. Hope SE learn to think things through more carefully in future and think about those of us that are not able to be online 24/7.

Edy, you can't blame SE, blame the players. SE was doing us a favor and people took advantage. If anyone is at fault it's not SE in this regard.

Exactly, well said Elexia.

Eh, while that is true, I actually focused more on this part of his post:

I think many people are not pleased with the timing and sporadic nature of the Imperial invasion event. Hits the nail on the head for that "event."

No I take your point, it's just that people are always going to find a way to 'exploit' things to make gil etc. everyone knows this. My real beef is that I logged on a day later (I'm usually on everyday) and 'missed out' on some nice seals for things I would like. That's not SE's fault of course but pulling the NPC means I cannot benefit because of others using to make gil. I'm not angry or anything but if they capped it at so many seals or turning in only so many per day it would stop the crazy amount of npc selling and still let people that haven't got the seals cont. Yes there are holes I can see in this logic too though!
