Here you go Yoshida, hard-straight stats.

how decent this system is really depends on how often that item drops and how many they expect us to obtain....

Im not sure if thats a good road, im imaging the WoW system when i read the exchange item for weapon, if thats it, then it will suck for sure, i wish they keep the incap mob for drop and if you dont want crafters to be on top of everything then leave an NPC for that as crafter with several needs.

I'll live with it until the 2.0 version of the loot system. If it means I can help friends get the weapon they've been fighting for so many times, great. Problem wasn't so much the drop rate (though it does suck), but it was the fact that you were getting items you didn't need. If this means you can turn something in and insure you get the weapon you wanted, especially if you've killed Ifrit 40 times, then that's fine by me.

Sure, I'd like the need/greed system as soon as possible, but as we won't have that for another year, then we have to live with this until then.

By collecting enough of the tradable items, a player can turn them over to a specific NPC in exchange for their desired weapon.

Should read "passable but untradeable." I do not like the idea of being able to buy your Ifrit weapon from the market wards.

Wow, I really hope to god that's a mistrans...

other MMO or not, the fact is old veteran FFXI players that have lived through the major HNM camping days are also disgruntled. And those are the pple that camped for months and months

The drop rate fine. I really don't see the reason for u to complain about drop rate... Gameplay comes first. drop rate can be look into after the main/basic things that keep an MMO going. No more Irrelevant post please, Thank you

This is similar to the OP's suggestion, but we have decided on preserving the current drop rates for weapons and individual chests and dropping an item which can be traded for a weapon at a fixed rate, in addition to the reward weapon drop.

Tradable in the context of to the NPC.

I doubt. Passable but untradeable = EX stuff going to loot. Just like tappers, that can be given away while at loot but not tradeable.

Just another flaw to the list. I'm getting REALLY curious to see what excuse the dev team will use when we migrate to 2.0 servers...because right now it's always the current server's fault.

Hey gang, Yoshida made a post a bit ago about the 1.20 plans for revising Ifrit-related drops.

hows adding an ex item to trade for a weapon that can be passed any different than the unfairness Yoshi said adding a lootlist would create. Instead of LSes priortizing the weapons and asking people to pass to someone else eventho they want it now ;they will just make/ask LS members to pass the ex item to the person they deem worthy or has bidded the most points on. Seems like the same bullshit as the shitty droprate. Thanks for the 5 ifrits canes Yoshi i can build a life raft and use them to float to another mmo.

Your post is irrelevant. No one wants to pay to play this game and not get anything outa it. People in my Ls have done 30+ ifrits and not gotten a single weapon. I have done 25+ and gotten 5 ifrits canes. I dont not play a mage job i play MRD LNC PUG i dont want firewood! And they are doing a great job of deterring me from playing this game.

I'm happy to hear they are doing a token-like system but I'm not sure I like their implementation. I think it'd be better if it was untradable but dropped for each person.
