Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[Thayos]

It's still far easier for the average player to get a 210 animus weapon than it is to clear nerfed hardcore raid content.

All you need to get a 210 animus is 30 mins to an hour per night to run a couple roulettes or do beastman quests. You don't need to study youtube videos, don't need a a static and don't need to play mistake-free along with seven other people.

Making that 210 step easier now would be like nerfing savage mode to the point that it's essentially as easy as story mode. And that would make no sense.

I don't even get why anyone is complaining here. Just get a lore weapon! If you want easy, THAT is easy!

A couple roulettes a night...so say one to get esoterics, and one to get poetics (let's go with 50 roulette, and let's say you get Keeper of the Lake every time for 100 additional poetics). For that, it's 200 poetics per run...135 runs of level 50 roulette. Now for the esoterics...take the 120 for doing the level 50 roulette, plus max 160 for the level 60 roulette and 140 for the expert roulette, and throw in another 60 for your trial. 56 sets of doing all 4 of those.

Say you mix in beastman tribe quests to reduce that...you're still looking at either roughly 5 days, give or take, to get one token (6 if guaranteed if you're doing the Vanu Vanu and Vath).

Then you need to obtain the crafted items, which depending on the server, your own crafting classes leveled, or the crafting classes your friends have, can either be silly expensive or stupid cheap.

All that for a 210 weapon.

Or you can run Void Ark once, do a couple level 60 roulettes, and get a 210 weapon.

They are seriously not at all equivalent.
