soiled promissory note?

whats funny is some shells have gotten 10+ seals already and its only been a week, and im sure if they worked at keeping hamlets at level 2 more often theyd probly have even more in some cases

its gonna be something you have to work for, sorry to tell everyone, if you dont wanna work for it, much like achievements, then DONT

Yeah, I've seen over 10 drop since running them. I have two of them and am thinking, "Woohoo! Just need a grid seal!"

Then I read this thread. Back to work!

Unless.... these are like relics and this is only for the base weapon lol

I have this bad feeling that this will be the case . . . and the final form will need 99 of each seal.

This would only be bad if you just do PUGs all the time. It's really not so bad if you take each person from your group and build their seals. The downside is the time and effort for just one person. However, like others have said, if these weapons are as good as SE hinted to early on about them, it's a hell of a lot better than building a relic weapon.

Unless.... these are like relics and this is only for the base weapon lol

if you read the text of the npc, these seals and stuff seem to be for the upgrade version(also SE already said in patch 122.b there will be af weapons and a means to upgrade them)

That was basically last night for me. I got my "final" seal and then this post went up right after. It was the single greatest buzz kill for me in the history of this game.

I think it's better to know the truth, than to freak out over rumors. Thanks Eemeefu and Bayohne!
The drop rate is lowish, but at my LS's current drop rates, 4-6+ a hamlet, that works out to about 1-2 weapons every 3-4 days.
Which really isn't too bad.

My speculation is that this quest will get you a weapon that is on par with (just slightly better than) the current primal weapons. Then there will be an upgrade quest that make them even better.

I'm kind of hoping their goal is to have a line of quests that will keep upgrading these over the lifetime of the game. Use today's upgraded weapon down the road (when the level cap is raised) to do another upgrade that will continue to keep the weapon the best in the game for the job.

my speculation? ffxi didnt have official forums. i bet if we looked thru 3rd party ones wed find plenty of griping.

i gripe myself a lot too, because i can. but this is my theory

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I do wonder what the reaction of adding these seals to the qq black market for a seemingly absurd amount of beast man currency would be.

Hearing that this is pRNG is getting pretty old. Run 10 hamlets and get a low score (Copper Chest). Run 10 hamlets and get a high score (Gold Chest). Count up how many seals you got from each. I think you'll find that skill and performance have boosted your drop rate significantly. That's not even taking into account the militia gear that will drop.
