hi guys, So basically as the titles states is diadem dead now? With all the new 220+ goodies out from lore and midas what is the point if any to do diadem? Unless I missing something that diadem offers besides melds.
Tell me what you guys think! :)
Is diadem completely dead now?

On my server it's basically dead.
I've seen a few (maybe 3 or 4 total since 3.2 hit, and actually only 1 or 2 for a couple weeks before 3.2 hit)
It's really great to farm to get materia, and for those who haven't gotten the Pegasus but....yeah..
It's dead at least on my server.
Or if not dead it's hanging on its last limb -

It's dead if you're trying to do it from DF. Set up or join a PF and you should be able to do it. And yeah, nowadays Diadem isn't done for the same reasons, it's simply to faceroll as much as possible to get V materia.

Very rarely do I see PF looking for Diadem runs. Since we have gear higher than 210 now and Void Ark made it easy to upgrade Esoteric gear, there's little reason to run Diadem.

I still see a few PFs for it. Bird and SephirotEX farms are more common atm though.

I think we'll see more Diadem farms as people get higher tier gear and need good materia to meld it. I know I'm slotting tier IV's until I actually get my gear upgraded because I'd rather not spend millions on materia I'm going to lose after I upgrade anyway.

03-07-2016, 02:38 AMSeraphix2407Really? in 1 hour in diadem i got only 17 tokens and we spread them out for a party of 8. That's not a goldmine for materia lvl 5.Quote:

As it was originally intended to be, Diadem is basically a playground for Free Companies at this point.
Dude... I've been duoing Diadem (Normal) and getting at least 10/h, how are you only getting 17/h with a full party?Quote:

Is there any reason to do anything other than easy mode? Seems like the lower HP of 1-star mobs is the best thing you can go for. I don't recall if 2-token drops are far more common in hard mode or something.

No more PF for Diadem ever on Cactaur. Have not seen a single one in weeks. Not sure about DF.

03-07-2016, 06:44 AMZumiUsually average around 40-50 when I do it.Quote:

Don't worry, they'll make the next relic step force relic users to farm in the Diadem.

It's pretty dead in my server I think. Some people who gathering can do their ownself since they reduce the aetherial to fly.
