Anima Weapon Gil Cost

[LineageRazor]

It's like trial of the magians on ffxi only you need a ton of gil to complete as well. Makes no sense. Why not just a rough grind and call it at that?

I would give relic quests up in a heartbeat for a "trial of the magians" variant in FFXIV but the problem here is that gear doesn't have enough diversity to have something similar so were stuck with whatever relic quest they give us.

Did you even DO Trial of the Magians? Even if you took the "easy" elemental weapon routes, you typically had to buy a crapton of elemental Geodes and Avatarites to finish the latter stages. And if you went the Empyreal weapon route? Dear lord, Heavy Metal Plates, Riftcinders, Riftdross... And heaven help you if you wanted to try to get an Afterglow on your Empy...

The gil grind on Trial of the Magians makes the Anima relic look like a walk in the park!

Cost 5 million with current rates on Hyperion, to straight buy the finished items from MB. Would've cost me maybe 1-2 million to buy mats and give them to crafters to make. Less if I gathered my own mats.

You had to buy nothing with Magians. I made multiple weapons without buying a thing as the farm really wasn't all that awful. But I didn't think mythics or relics were bad either for the worth some of them had.

I really think the only people who are defending this step by any means are the people making gils off of it.

Myself I cannot bring myself to spend the gil after they reduced all our hard work in 2.x to glamour pieces and a couple easily farmed crystals.

Yep prices are rather pricey on Leviathan

The sad part of that is that that amount of gil I spent wasn't from when Zeta was just released. I got my Zeta shortly before the Anima relic was released.

I have been casually observing material & materia prices since Heavensward launch onwards & while prices dropped like boulders at launch (especially with materia), they have been steadily increasing back to their pre-expansion listings. And not just on Leviathan, but Behemoth & Lamia, too.

You guys are lucky. It's about 3 to 3.5m on my server for the 16 items so I can't sell the mats at decent prices. 175k for the HQ arrows...

i farmed lot of items for my elemental weapon , and buy some they were cheap as hell because it dropped like crazy , just farming the mobs needed to complete some steps were nearly enough to get enough items....it was boring as hell waiting for exact weathers .... or days ugh

It was 5.5 mil on my server when I finished.

I'd do the crafting way, but I was chatting with the crafters in my FC about what needed done. I got too confused and decided that figuring it out wasn't worth the time, and I'd rather throw gil down the drain. I really hate crafting in this game though, even just talking about it.

Its supply and demand. Crafters arent being greedy. The cost of the supplies are expensive because they are a pain to get.

Depending on how many gatherers and crafters are on your sever the prices will fluxuate.

Reason why NA servers prices are high is not because people are greedy. Its because the population has less gatherers than JP servers.

However I find it funny. People say they have been playing the game for 2 years, and somehow cant find a way to make 3-10 mill in gil, and then come to the forums to complain about the prices and how they hate crafting and gathering because they havent leveled a class up.

What part do you find funny? I was confused by that comment. Do you mean that it's funny because they complain they can't make gil when they haven't even leveled a crafter? That seems pretty silly in game design, if that's what you mean. Crafting shouldn't be the only way to obtain gil and/or make these relics. It's really a part of this game that I hate with an immense passion and have no desire to be coerced in to it.

Needing crafting materials isn't really out of place for the relic quest, it's fairly normal. I can't wait to see the forums implode in 3.2 when gear has materia slots in it lol.

I never made it to the lvl 99 trials before I quit. Everything before the last trial was just a long grind. I actually did the trial of the magians twice. I got the Great axe for the -12% dmg to be an HP tank and the blm Ice staff. Was working on scholar healer staff before i quit.

I dunno what your going on about i had no trouble getting geodes at all. Not sure about the avatarites. The Empyreal route was meant to be on the par of the Dynamis and mythic weapons, of course they were gil grindy.

I'm not sure the relics they've been releasing so far in this game were meant to be on the level of empyreal, mythic, or dynamis equivalents.
