Zodiac Weapons The Next Step. (Findings)

[Merylx]

the chance of getting an item after the 7th time with a 15% chance is around 60 or 70%, thats not even bad luck, its normal


and its still way less work involved than farming 2k light

Lol fair enough. I was just going off what some were saying on here. I didn't know the % of the chance drop.

There are no fish listed in the patch notes, pretty sure the things reported as being fish come from desynth.

geez...

So seeing people say you don't have to have your nexus equipped or even on that job to get your drops, do you even have to have a nexus to start this quest? Would be so nice if I could start collecting these while finishing farming my light at the same time.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Yes you do. You can't begin this quest unless you obtained a Nexus relic.

[Yukiko]

Yes you do. You can't begin this quest unless you obtained a Nexus relic.

And thats the epic fail where it come to stupid grinding...

[Maero]

Oh i am sure fates will be involved, fates are always involved for content ......

[LineageRazor]

Yes you do. You can't begin this quest unless you obtained a Nexus relic.

Do you have to have the Nexus equipped while running the dungeons? Or do you just have to have the quest open?

I'm 2/3 done with my Curtana Nexus, and just recently finished my Veil of Wiyu Novus. Once I start this quest on my Curtana, can I run the dungeons on my SMN and get lights along with the Nexus quest items? Or will I be forced to run the dungeons as PLD with my Curtana equipped?

You're right. So, because you choose to level your crafters up to be able to craft these items, I must be obligated to succumb to whatever you feel like charging me to advance my relic that I've worked so hard on.

Never really understood this bitterness toward crafters. Complaining about having to buy expensive crafting items because you couldn't be bothered to invest in crafting yourself is as silly as a crafter who whines about not getting free T13 carries in spite of not investing in their DoM/W progression.

If you don't have time to do EVERYTHING in this game (and honestly, not many have that kind of time), then you need to pick and choose which things are important to you. On the occasions when you need access to the things you passed up, you have a few choices: Befriend someone who has taken that path and ask them for help, take the time to follow that path now and catch up, or beg or pay a stranger to do it for you.

FFXIV has been notorious about making crafters and gatherers feel like they're superfluous fluff; nearly everything that they provide amounts to little more than glamour, minions, barding - stuff that has little to no effect on actual gameplay. I cheer every time SE adds something that makes these classes feel like they're an actual, meaningful part of the game.

WP grind is real already 0/18

And yet, your example doesn't really fly with me. Why? Because crafters do NOT HAVE to beat T13 to improve their crafting class as Coil has no significance on their ability to craft. Yet, if you're a non-crafter who only likes to participate in war/magic classes running dungeons/Coil, now you are forced to be involved in crafting (in one aspect or another) to continue with your relic, be it crafting these items yourself, coughing up all that gil to pay a crafter or be lucky enough to have a friend who will help you out for free.

WP grind is real already 0/18

Damn >< My sympathies. I'm 1/1 on WP, 1/1 on Aurum Vale, 1/2 on Copperbell, 0/2 on Haukke. I'm sure I'll hit that point with one of em. But that RNG x_x
