I'm still peeved they didn't let us get them from Diadem... Randomly getting them in chests, being able to exchange Spoils for them... I mean, Diadem sucks as it is, but if it was the way to farm Unidentified items? At least it wouldn't be dead...

Yes yes, the crafted items are made from Diadem, but that's exactly why they are retaining their value... Diadem is dead, if you want to go in there to farm the crafting materials you need a Free Company Airship at this point... Having Diadem as a solid means to farm Unidentified items might at least revive queues and reduce the price of those materials somewhat... They still need to seriously adjust Diadem to actually make it a proper event instead of some lame Hunts zone, but given they didn't seem to mention it in the Live Letter, I'm guessing Diadem has gone the way of Secure and Slaughter... A shame, it had a lot of potential...
