Anima Update - Item Level

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I already do savage raids. I am currently practicing A12S now.

In my opinion, completing the anima weapon quests are a lot "harder" than A9S - A11S are.
Anima weapon takes a lot more time and is much more boring.

This is why I wanted to see IL 265.
At just 260, I might abandon getting AW and just get Shire weapon instead. It depends on the next AW quests.
I was hoping for something better than Shire weapon, because Shire weapon is very easy to get. By comparison, AW at 260 is much harder to get (because you need to do ALL of the AW quests before it.)

Boring yes, but compare the effort level. Even back in the horror days of 210, you basically did ARR Beast Tribes you were massively overleveled for or Gordias normal... which you were also overgeared for. The 230 Step? Do Crystal Tower once a week for five weeks or farm esos. All of that is mindless and requires neither skill nor teamwork. Savage, on the other hand, demands you perform to the very best. People who do, are rewarded for it.
