The Unfortunate Nexus: PLDs Who Forgot to Soulglaze One or the Other

[DSN]

I agree with gorn. If you don't have the novus equipped, why do you think you get light towards it?

Because up until this point you only needed 1 of 2 items equipped, this is the first time we have been forced to use both our relic sword and shield simultaneously.

its my first novus so i had no ideal how novus farm works so i keep farming garuda and wonder why dont i get light and people would know how much light they have gotten.... so i asked them and they say did i soulglazed i was like wtf is that!? that was 3 hours after grinding on my ninja before i found out i need to soulglaze it.....

No offense but that's kind of a stupid mistake. The only way you wouldn't have your Novus soulglazed would be if you didn't talk to Jalzahn, and why wouldn't you? You need to do a quest for the next step for every step since after Zenith. These kind of mistakes are not slight design flaws, but just absent minded players.

The option to soulglaze the holy shield Novus is RIGHT below soulglazing the curtana Novus. I'm not sure how you could miss that unless you were in an extreme rush or something. :I

I agree with this, I mean what if Curtana was the last on the list for whatever reason? Are people just clicking without even checking the relic names? Holy Shield is right under Curtana. >_>

Why would you assume that they both happen at the same time if you're not using both at the same time?

Kinda this. The feature would be abused.

Because u could collect atmas with just the zenith sword equipped. I wouldnt see why it would be different here. But apparently it is

[Vondoomervil]

Uh if I forget to equip my bow it no ones fault but mine... They made the mistake, gotta learn from it sorry.

Denying that the Holy Shield is only the best AFTER nexus... it is different in that atma are individual normal items while light is something not unlike how the special drops from the beastmen fates were handled before they were changed. You can bank normal items as much as you want but that light can't unless you have the relic equipped that you want to to go towards. With how animus and whatever the step after it is works, it could be that the Paladin looked at the tome offerings and said, "Screw it, those look nicer."

Why would it not soul glazed? Is there a reason to not soul glazed why is the step even needed? And the whole is new to me so I was not aware of the process

[Ooshima]

My argument here is that a Paladin who has done this has still obtained 2000 Light and done the same amount of grind as any other Job is required to do. Screwing up the process somehow currently forces them to get up to 4000 at the most extreme case. No other job is subject to this sort of situation. This wouldn't be able to be abused to let a Paladin get their Nexus faster than other jobs; they still need 2000 Light on one or the other.

Realizing that you have to spend 35+ hours grinding out the other item after you've finished the first is not the kind of punishment that makes someone learn from a mistake. It's the kind of punishment that makes someone quit the game entirely.

But, if you still don't like this idea... how about a compromise? If a PLD is wielding a soulglazed Novus at the same time as a Nexus, all light gains are multiplied by some amount. It would at least make the "punishment" grind smaller.

Solution: getgud, learn2read. saying all that is as good as that PLD on our server who forgets to equip his shield and went into coil.

[Keisatsu]

I don't understand why you wouldn't have both equipped at the same time, isn't it common sense to do so? :s
