The ultra-rare protean crystal! Vs the oodles of anemos crystals.

[RiyahArp]

If they nerfed anemos crystals they would kill the content. It would be like pulling up the bridge after all the early adopters got stuff. They would be better off buffing protean drops per chain, and letting people be able to have downtime between chains without needing to nonstop grind.

[Tanathya]

It's because the original "concept" was to have your group stay in one place for ~1h while you grind mobs to then spawn the NM, which would give you ~20-60 protean crystals, and then have the NM pop, giving you ~3-5 anemos crystals.

Because in no way ever would they have foreseen the zerg trains. /s

Lol please, Diadem 1.0 and 2.0, Hunts, FATEs. Again, let's not pretend Eureka is new in any way, and the developers should've known better.

Hence the /s = sarcasm.

I was just referring purely to what you wrote not for you, but for those who still argue that Eureka is an original concept that should be worshipped.

Worshiped? I would not go that far, Eureka has some FFXI mechanics mixed in and is nice way to remember the good old days where common sense ruled and de leveling actually made players put attention. I think it's more of older players finally getting what they asked in terms of harder content and not expecting a shinny trophy without really trying.

Eureka has no FFXI mechanics whatsoever. I'm a die hard FFXI fan who's been craving a comeback forever, and this doesn't remind me of it. This isn't what we, older players, asked for. The only thing that's made me chuckle was the emperor hairpin, the scorpion harness, and the strider boots.

You should check those people who are defending Eureka even with evidence as to how this is Diadem thrown at them.

Wait which nm drops the boots? I've yet to see them and didn't even know they existed, haven't heard of anyone even getting them?

[ServerCollaps]

Lvl 25 mobs give up to 5 Protean per kill you could probably get up to 500 per hour in a lvl 20 party only grinding those mobs killing 1 every 30 sec-

they give up to 16 or more per enemy

[Laladyn]

Ive only ever seen 5 drop per shadow wraith.

Simurgh (Renamed in Eureka as Simurgh's Strider, there's a FATE which already uses the name).
