Also be wary of sanction bonus stuff, if you use it you'll always need a backup piece anyway. A lot of the bonuses are great but they're always gonna be situational which means you need a non-sanction dependent piece either way to stand in when you die and lose the buff.

Also I will say that not enough people appreciate Explorer's moccasins.

I can't appreciate them just because they look like something a black woman in the hood would wear. I know how good they are but I just can't wear leather leopard print boots.

That's what the Sanction Scroll is for. =P

I would also like to add that as a Enhancement Magic Potency junky, I think the Ul'dah 25000 seal WHM weapon Flame Lieutenant's Wand (Vitality: +10, Healing Magic Potency: +15, Flame gear (4 or more pieces): Enhancement Magic Potency +7) is the second best weapon after Thyrus - provided you can get the bonus to activate, which in my opinion is pretty easy to do.

As reference, what I have in addition to the weapon is:

Flame Sergeant's Mitts (HP: +20, Mind: +7, Flame gear (3 or more pieces): Healing Magic Potency +9)
Flame Sergeant's Earrings (Healing Magic Potency: +4, Flame gear (4 or more pieces): HP +30)
Flame Sergeant's Targe (HP: +60, Magic Evasion: +10, Flame gear (4 or more pieces): Intelligence +7)

Well, the way I figure is that if I'm dying more than once in a fight, it's better to come back with better people or I simply suck. I'd prefer to think I'll choose the former, and I'd reckon so will you. =P

And with 15 minutes of waiting in-between fights and Anima a non-issue as of late, it's not really that much of a hassle to grab another scroll too even if you use one, right?

**shepardG** · 2012-09-15 15:37

sanction gear is amazing, if sanction lasted like signet in ole XI, it would of course be better, but even without it, it's still to easy to just burn anima nowadays and get signet after every death.

die to garuda?
return ot ul'dah, grab signet, teleport to dragonhead (only 3 anima if it's in your favorites)
easy day.

If you have an active LS that's great and all, but for the vast majority who don't we can't be so picky on who we group with.

But yea we do have anima out the ass atm but that doesn't make it any less annoying (I believed they mentioned letting you get sanction at camps and such in the future, so we'll see).

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-15 16:42

I was going to get weapons for all my classes but collecting these crystals is so boring I think I'll skip the ones I never play like PLD and MNK.

**n0pax** · 2012-09-15 19:09

This event is dumb, it's ruining the economy. Nothing is worthwhile to do besides Atomos, on Balmung skirmish weapons have already risen 500k-1.5m in price because of all the Atomos gil.

**Niiro** · 2012-09-15 19:19

lol

**Enygma55** · 2012-09-15 19:20

Not sure what you are complaining about. Its a win/win for everyone. If you want those skirmish weps just collect more xtals to sell (they're going for ~15-20k). The market has to adjust for inflation ofcourse, and given how valuable these are for getting seals, the rich are unloading their stockpile of gil to buy GC gear.

Also, if you're really hard up for cash and cant sell the xtals fast enough, you can still buy the GC dawn drops to npc. Still equates to 250k gil for every 3k seal, which is only 12 xtals.

I guess I'm just not a fan of the price changes. My ls has made over 100m off dawn drops so far, so assuming everyone is doing this, when it all hits the market stuff will skyrocket in price across the board, aka massive inflation.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-15 19:32

Good lord. I can't believe they haven't just removed those items from the seal purchasable list.

**Enygma55** · 2012-09-15 19:34

Unfortunately that is the nature of this game. No big enough gil sink to regulate the market and no plans to fix it til 2.0. Just get enough gil to buy what you need now, be it double meld relics or armor that u need.

**TacoTaru** · 2012-09-15 19:37

It should have been their first move to remove those instead of taking away the cluster. I make more per round now than I did before because I don't warp back to town.

**miokomioko** · 2012-09-15 19:37

Yes, burn all your seals on dawn drops for gil to burn away on equipment that is uncertain to be worth nearly as much in ARR. :3

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-09-15 20:45

Omfg nevermind... Farming gil now.

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-15 20:46

They really need to stop this event or remove dawn drops from sale at GC otherwise people are going to have capped gil by November.

If a crystal is worth 20833 gil and I've just farmed 330 by mostly AFKing all day and doing other things on my computer that's 6.8mil gil I could have. I'm spending them on GC items but still, imagine 6.8mil per day for the next 45 or so days until November. Now imagine when people start doing this with alts. I've already considered subscribing my alt just to get crystals faster. I think there will be a rushed maintenance early next week.

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-09-15 20:59

Imagine how much faster this would be if there wasn't buying/selling lag and you could select how many drops to buy.... -_-

**Fondue** · 2012-09-15 21:19
