Relic Weapon Revival (06/06/2012)

Scarface Champion is currently standing in Ul'dah with his double meld Astrolabe. And 2 mins later sum1 next to him blew up an astrolabe +1 on double meld. Sweet jesus.....

[Dimitsuri]

that's just some crazy shit.....that was a very bad move SE. You gonna make many ppl who love the game to hate it. I am one of them...

[Icehunter]

So. I've got 16,186,221 gil right now. Is anyone kind enough to sell me a double melded mailbreaker for a reasonable price? ^^; Or just tell me how much you want and I can decide how many hours I have to farm for gil ><;;

[Suneater]

This is really disappointing. I thought SE was moving away from RNG 0.1% drop rate content and instead we get this. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come because it's not looking too good for 2.0's endgame at this point.

These arguments/discussions seem to go on a lot. It happened with ifrit weapons, followed by dark light bodies and now artifact weapons. There is a clear line that divides (for lack of a better word) hardcore players who put in hours of play time to getting best in slot. (i dont think of myself as hardcore)

As soon as the first few people get them on your particular server it will be a: "well they have more time to play" "its not fair." "the reward system is skewed." "your LS must really like you"

Yes I agree double melding is a crap shoot but not impossible, getting a NM drop in a party of 8 on three separate occasions is another crap shoot. BUT that is what makes the item valuable and prestigious. its shows you put in the hard work to get an item.

The thing is with this game you don't NEED to have best in slot to excel at your class.

further more you have tons of time to gather the mats you will need for these weapons.. hopefully you are not trying for all 7. If you are ... God speed my Eorzean friends.

How long do you think it will be before people are making posts about how they have broken 23 of their class specific weapons trying to double meld them.

[Judge_Xero]

So true, so true, stupid moron current & past ff14 developers!
Anyway my opinion on these weapons is yoshi-p you can take them all, polish them up nice & shinny, turn them side ways & shove them up your roody poo candyass!!!!! there are no drop rates, double melds are dumb luck with a high emphasison DUMB!

& that doesn't even address the probliem's with leveling the crafting jobs just to craft them!
& not to menchion the lack of quests for seals & solo ways to get decent seals. (solo 1900 seals natourious monsters since they give the most seals = 3hours 40 mins & 38 anima yes i times & cheaked yesterday)
& the few other probliems i cant be bothered menchioning.
But i'll give you a hint it involves: AV & CC & that not many people actuly want to do hamlet

Whoah....not white knighting but, maybe you should take your issues somewhere else?
1) Why are you concerned with getting gear that's meant for Party play, if you apparently play solo?
2) What's the issue with crafting?
3) Materia Melding show's you a percentage of success, how is that RNG?
4) Why are you soloing NM's for GC seals? Anyone can join Caravan, and low level Caravan is soloable with a 50. (800 Seals Per/h)

Noone will take you seriously with extremely poor grammar, and an obvious lack of knowledge/research of the game.

I am definately hoping for Difficulty + Continuous Progression > Luck/Grind for the future content. Materia Melding aside (because that was meant to be a Gil Sink/ High Risk practice)

If this guide is legit, which it could very well be. People gonna have to start joining up if they want this stuff. Hey if the Grand Companies can work together, so can everyone else.

I have melded over 700 items, it never really goes beyond 10 for double meld, Let alone 23. 16-20% is a big number.

[LuxLux]

Yeah, this is so sad. I don't know who told the devs that we enjoy getting stuff by luck and not cause of our effort. It's like telling them, you know, you have a 0.00001 chance you are going to be paid this month for all the 10 hours a day you've worked this month. yes, I know ...you mut really enjoy that....we do it for you... lol

Dont doubt it man, it will happen. Just like people saying theyve gone 97 ifrit wins without a weapon dropping.
