Skirmish: Findings and Information

[dasva]

More like if lol

[TummieGaruda]

Tummie kinda makes it sound like they have a chocobo digging-esque item pool, too, in that more people farming = more crap. Between that and the 6 DAT limit, pretty lame on SE's part. If they're worried about people cleaving everything, just put a cooldown on how many chests you can pop in like 30s.

I am definitely seeing a huge drop-off in Pyres the more ppl show up to farm in Rala. 9 People total in the zone right now and I haven't seen a Pyre in an hour.

[Karbuncle]

Yah, If i had actually spent time working on a Nirvana like i wanted too, I'd probably be selling my account right now.

[Darkmagi]

Nirvana will get a damage upgrade with no additional stat buffs obviously.

[Karbuncle]

If RME Actually get any meaningful upgrades at all I'll sh*t a brick, Your optimismis almost adorable , Almost like you haven't been playing FFXI for 10 years... and are as jaded as I am... hehe.. heh.

Or was there an Update note recently that told us we were getting upgrades for RME and it wasn't worded similar to how you'd tell a person going partially blind "Well, Your eyes wont be completely useless"

26 in Rala and I got two within a span of two minutes. Could be strange luck, of course.

I could see SE never adjusting it again and letting it just be an inventory saver as a perp staff.

Give it a couple more minus perp and call it good lol. Gaiz we gave you the best perp staff in the game by far what more do you want!?!

Well assuming there is no fair distribution system in place (lol) then the chance of getting a pyre would be down to luck. If you happen to get a few kills immediately after the respawn on a pyre comes up then you'll probably get it, if you're running to the next group of mobs then someone else killing in zone probably will.

Seems to contradict their entire colonization mantra which is all about as many people doing shit as possible, to set an asinine cap on the 'high end' content.

Do any servers have emblem unlocked for inventor's coalition at the moment or about to have it unlocked after tally tomorrow? I'm extremely interested to see what that extra NPC sells and which points will be needed to buy w/e items it sells. I might be overly optimistic, but i'm hoping the NPC will sell stone nq/+1/+2 for bayld. Worst, and most likely, case being it's obsidian fragments and 2-3K for NQ stones.

Well the OF post says fragments so seems like that's a definite

Do the base weapons pop in individual chests? Or do they go to the loot pool?

yeah this is terrible ,_, ran around murdering everything in there for like 2 hours getting chain 50+s war/brd/whm and saw about 11 pyres 10 of which were bayld and the other was a rosewood log or something; was the only group in there killing anything too I believe

[Gwynplaine]

Sucks, but so don't go to Rala. Go to a less popular zone.

Yeah I took a break for a bit, logged back on, First Pyre Bayld, second Pyre green text....Mokko Grass... so I am guessing that if my earlier thought was correct, it's going to keep loading junk until the pool refreshes. It makes sense if the skirmish pieces are first to load when it comes to items and then junk every time after that. The system needs to be changed though.

[macross]

Nah didn't someone say they got 2 in a row? Too little data to show that's the case anwyays.
