Test Server Findings

[NynJa]

Many ppl that farmed their relics now in 3 months spending 2h a day on high focus dualboxing actually did more than ppl that got it before dynamis revamp.

Broad statements are broad...not every LS was "get shit for me, you get scraps"
My dynamis LS forced attendance for those who wanted to upgrade relics. And while it wasnt required, it just so happened that those who did upgrade, were frequently 2boxing in dynamis. Those who allowed themselves to get roped into shit LS's of "you can take scraps" did so willingly. Whos fault is that?

Lol 75-90 relic wasn't that easy at the beginning relic trial were over 2k mobs kill WS killshot... Catastrophe vs skeleton was not that easy for example and 2k mob kills with WS killshot could take some day...

You can't kill all the NMs required to get the weapon up to empy stage, and then get 50+50 of those items, in 2 days. (Maybe if you're playing the full 24 hours a day, and every single NM takes <20~30min to pop) Cry more.

Are u that noob that u can't finish an empy 85 in 2 fucking days?O_O Kannagi got us 2 days 50/50 helm 1 day and 50/50 skin the day after

The point was all 100 items INCLUDING the NM trials, not only the items.

NM trials takes a week at most...took me that long in a 55h work week, which sucked, tho was partially attributed to luck (wake up, NM being killed, group wasnt being douches and invited me).


cant finish the AF2+2 translations, computer here doesnt have JP text lol, did what I Could scavenge from the thread.

Let's try to keep this on topic of new stuff on the test server instead of the tired old Relic versus Empyrean debate.

Thank you,

Inc another 1500 plates to 99.

It's not plates, it's 500 "."'s If it was plates then it would be asking for 500 plates.

Relics are 1000 "."'s


Assuming that 500 "."'s is harder than 1500 plates, and Relics and Empyreans are using the same "." then a lvl 99 Relic will be overall much harder to get than a lvl 99 Empyrean.

Is mythric weapons the same? need 500 or 1000 "." ? Thxs

It could be two entirely different "."s though. For example: Silver Mirrors, Devious Die, and Heavy Metal Plates would all have appeared as "." before the actual 95 update.

It would be strange for them to switch from Dynamis as the source of Relic upgrades after the last two patches or to make Empyreans require Dynamis. We don't have enough information one way or another to really say for sure.

Still no info on staff +4?

I believe that he meant what it is going to take to upgrade them and/or final augments.

stats are fine too hehe

Stats on the staves are interesting. Each of the elemental-path staves has 4 entries denoted as A, B, C, and D. (For example: Agni's Staff+4 A, Agni's Staff+4 B, Agni's Staff+4 C, Agni's Staff+4 D.) All have 57 damage and 366 delay. So it seems that we will be able to have all of the various staves capped for each element. Fuck you, inventory!

The staves have never been rare, so you've always been able to have them all capped. If they've got different names they'll finally be usefully macroable though.

That was my point. Right now I have a Surya's Staff +1 and Surya's Staff +2 (I didn't get the chance to upgrade before my harddrive crapped out), it would be reckless insanity to have both of the staves upgraded to the same level because my macros wouldn't be able to tell the difference between cure potency and perpetuation. Same thing, you could have had a dozen Teiwazes, (I think I have four on Atum right now), there is no way to distinguish between them with a macro, so you had to take the ones that you were not using on a trial out of your Gobbiebag.

It is kind of exciting that you will be able to have potency and accuracy staves, but it is a giant fuck you to our inventory as well as so much work. >_>

Either replace your item dats to use the JP ones, since those have names instead of just "."'s, or ask a JP for info. (lololololol)

I don't have test server access, so I cannot help with this riddle. And I think that the last one is the most plausible answer!

Or we can just wait until friday.
