The "I'm at work and I all I can do is experience patch content second hand" thread

People not paying enough attention to her?

Fixed your mistake, and if you notice my post count (under 50 atm), I dont spam the forums looking for attention. I get enough in game from being able to RP and not just mindlessly farm Coil.

Its the information in those posts about the changes in this patch that is giving me pause to consider leaving what has turned into the most insane grind game I think I've seen in years (even for a JP game).

As a more casual player, I dont mind some grind, its expected in an MMO, but there's "grind", then there's "drive the casual player away grind" which is what I see in this patch. I dont need to play the game to know how drop rates and other things will affect the game for me. Seeing the numbers is enough in that case.

To each their own, if you love it, drink it up, if not, walk away and wait to see if SE makes changes. Me? I'm in the latter group atm.

This is like the end of the world. Not to mention I have a haircut appointment and choir meeting afterward. When I'm back everyone will already finished T-9, got their new relic, new mounts, new minions. I will be the n00b of the century. WAAAAAHHHH

I'm assuming the only thing you are referring to is the new Relic quest line?

The soldier tome drops are about what Myth was previously. The myth is about 1/2 of what philo was.

Other than that there is almost no grind, and there are much quicker ways to obtain i100 weapons than the zodiak quests. Its an option. You can't listen to babies cry on forums all day and shape your opinion of the game on that.

I so didn't want to come into work today, but alas, bills have to be paid. Think I'm gonna try to sneak out of here 30 mins early though. :P

Has anyone found any information about where to get the Oil of Time/Sand of Time from? Also where to get the Unidentified Allagan Tomestone/Mirror Of The Whorl?

At work, and worried I'll get home in time to witness "EMERGENCY OMG MAINTENANCE SOMETHING IS BROKE LOOK FORWARD TO TOMMORROW". :/. If not i'll try to get most of my daily stuff out of the way, and see if i got time to grind a little relic stuff.

Got the download started this morning. Kind of at a loss for what I want to work on when I log in - I only have one lv 50 battleclass that was just getting into the later end game progression, and 50 in all DoH and 2 DoL.

Try this for wife aggro:

*waiting on response from server/co-worker* "Well I got like...2 minutes. Let's see what the forums are up to." *30 minutes pass...*

Ya, that's been my day. 3.5hrs remaining.
