Dun Scaith weapon upgrade drop to 270, when? Nvm let's skip that for Diadem 280

[Reynhart]

The real point here is that it was on purpose, because who the hell is gonna do this diadem anyway if not for that carrot on the stick.

That's what I'm trying to explain to all those people who claim that content "can be meaningfull without a powerful weapon at the end"...

[Sil3ntxR3qui3m]

I don't care that this weapon is 280. I figure the last bit of content is coming out shortly anyway (which doesn't necessarily require you to be fully decked out in top notch gear) and then it's the big wait for Stormblood. I don't care at this point if I upgrade my WHM from my finished relic to that. I don't think it will make that much of a difference. It will be useless a few hours into 4.0 if coming from 2.0 to 3.0 was any indication.

Yes, please do the math. 4 weapons upon how many people, hundreds, thousands that have already joined a Diadem mission since the latest patch ?

This thread is about how SE drop 280 first BEFORE Dun Scaith 270 weapon upgrade so technically 4 weapons vs 0 from Dun Scaith weapon upgrade lol which is rarer, you tell me?

[Brill_]

I have a relic, the 280 weapon doesn't bother me one bit. I could care less how other people get their gear. Besides, there is so much rng in getting a 280 weapon

1. The emergency mission in diadem has to pop

2. If the mission pops, once it completed, there is 1 of 13 weapons that could drop

3. Then you are up against 71 other people for a chance to get that weapon.

Maybe you should't have started that way...

The points of the matter is how fast SE introduced a higher ilv weapon when anima was just updated.

Nor followed by this...

The mere fact that it exists diminishes anima relic owners pride especially since it arrives so soon, which is the point.

in your own thread...

And 0 reward from DS for 0 possibility to have a reward is not "rare". It's like saying "Before 3.55a, i275 Anima were much rarer than Alexandrian weapon".
Don't worry, we'll do the maths again when the option becomes available and suddently the probability skyrockets to 100% every week with the absence of RNG, skill and even time.

you dont have to roll on it, you just get 3 items in your inventory, including the weapon (if you are lucky enough)

[ffchampion]

its not unfair as getting a) the weapon, b) the weapon you want and c) that weapon to roll good stats are insanely low chances

[BigRed5392]

no it doesn't... you people need to play more games. the drop rate is low, the content itself has a random chance.

the sky isn't falling chicken little.

[LunarEmerald]

The i280 weapons are deceiving. Stat wise they're more like i290 weapons. They don't have proper scaling of a real i280.

That's the real kick to the teeth. They aren't 5 item levels stronger than anima/raid, they're 15.

[Sharksandrew]

This is like saying "Why get a job when we have the lottery?"...

Finally someone makes sense around here.
