Bomb Ash!

[Junpei]

Yes i reallize now complianing about the crappy drop rates isn't the best idea in a opening post, you are correct they can be used to farm but there is a quest the also requires you to kill them and with the low server population you can do both but i doubt SE intended for a mob used for a quest to be the prime source of bomb ash more so when it's out of sync (the're all L30 as it's a L30 quest) with the new system, when the servers become more populated ppl farming ash from them is going to get in the way of ppl doing the quest.

I think as population goes up, and contention in that area for bomb ash goes up, and even more so as the need for bomb ash goes up. Then the price will follow suit, and bomb ash will become a potentially expensive levelling resource.

but as you have said, there are other locations for it, and whilst you may not be able to farm them yourself if you are a lower DoW level, then you're gonna have to buy it from someone who is.

sometimes you need items with a low supply and high demand to simulate a real economy and stimulate the synthetic one!
