No longer diadem achievements obtainable

[Espritduo]

Yeah, this is going to be a really unfortunate change. Looks like this weekend, I will be farming Trials of the Matron for diadem exclusive mats, and to try and get the Pegasus mount before they all go poof. On the plus side, those mats can probably be sold for insane gil following patch 5.1

Not sure what you mean, since all diadem mats can be purchased pretty cheaply with yellow scrips. The Pegasus mount and minion will presumably still be gotten somehow or other since it wasn't tied strictly to the old Diadem gameplay anyways. It will either be gotten through gathering instead of battle Spoils or dumped into some other content like treasure maps/dungeons or scrip purchase or ventures or whatnot. It's only the battle content and achievements tied to said content that we know is definitely being removed. Gathering content will still exist in whatever new form Restoration Diadem takes, and any gathering-related rewards or items that you could get will most likely still be available in the new Diadem, or elsewhere.

EDIT: Just noticed that the highest-tier mats aren't available for purchase. Stuff like the peteinosaur skin and such. But again, they will almost definitely add those to the scrip purchase list like they did all the older mats, or include them in the new diadem gathering content. There's no way they would simply remove all those mats AND all the gearsets in the crafting list that use them. Of course I would never have believed they'd flat out remove the achievements either....but here we are.

I think they are going to rework Diadem not only for Ishgard restoration, but for the new Relic as well.

I take back what I said earlier I didn’t realize that was explicitly what the patch notes said

You never know what you have till it's gone, it's really true.

I was specifically waiting for 5.1 for diadem to be revitalized. They hadn't mentioned anything before about removing achievements (and thus content). I thought they would be adding things, maybe making it easier to enter. This is ridiculous. Garo got like 4 lodestone posts in 6 months to warn!

The only hint about this was the live letter, all previous mentions of diadem were in interviews and only said it would be used for ishgard restoration somehow.

Some of us thought it meant using more diadem-easily-gathered-items in crafting recipes. The only hint was the most recent PLL (a week ago!) about "reworking into a gathering island". Since you could already gather, it was weird that it would need to be reworked. That's not straightforward and still wouldn't have been enough time!

Just for a visual reference,this is what is going to vanish. Yep, I've only done that once.

Possibly silly question here but I can't seem to find this anywhere in the achievement list... where can I even find the Diadem achievements?

They’re under Exploration, then Duty.

Ah got it, thanks. Apparently I've only killed 7 NM... lmao. Guess I won't be getting that title.

I want to add my voice in as someone who Is very saddened and disappointed by the seeming afterthought communication by SE about the Diadem changes. I find it very sad they are removing current Diadem fully. I love Diadem but only have gotten to experience it recently as a new player to the game. Mostly I am very disappointed in the lack of notice that they were fully removing the achievements with only a few days for people to try to complete them (*almost* impossible to do).
