To keep track that way must really lower your spirits looking at all those screenshots and only dark matter and vampire plants to show for it. I promised her she will have my totems until she has a weapon of her own. If SE really does justify this as balance it would be like saying "Sorry Timmy but no matter how hard you try you'll never get what your striving for because we think there is enough of it out there already." If this is their idea of balance they might as well hand out cards saying what items your allowed to quest for. Remember you could be that Timmy
Sadly many people don't care about Timmy unless they become Timmy.

I don't really plan to do much of this content until SE fix the loot situation, of course that means I lose out but I'm not boring myself stupid to get these items, they aren't much more than novelty weapons anyway, everyone has one.

I'm WHM and BLM as my main classes which makes me even less motivated to waste time to do them, maybe if Garuda's weapon has decent healing stats I will make an effort to get one of those.
