It's seriously bullshit and completely horrible design.

[dasva]

How do you know when you've capped bayld? Do you just start getting ### exp/0 bayld?

Exactly. Though you will probably cap out xp first. I know super tanking some mobs I'd often get 1500 xp/400 baldy evals lol

[NynJa]

You'll never get xp without bayld unless the NM hasnt lost HP (or very little) between evals.

[Treize Kordero]

Is there a bayld cap in WKR? I've been doing the circuit recently and I noticed I can't get pass 25K XP and Bayld... happened on 3 different occasions.

Kinda wish they used Bastion's system in WKR with the interval evals. I like the idea of getting xp from a mob you kill as you kill it.

The drops though is crazy I've done like 5-6 Hurkans and I'll get complete shit.. no Kaquljaan T.T or.. one time I got 25K bayld/xp and all I got was wootz ore.

[Darkmagi]

Answered your own question.

[Dotsudoku]

How do you know when you've capped bayld? Do you just start getting ### exp/0 bayld?

You just stop getting evaluations. You'll notice it pretty quickly.

When I'd go on SMN and spam Healing Ruby II in the middle of Yumcax or Hurkan, I'd cap within 15 minutes or so

[Hoshiku]

So when they're talking about these drop slots are they saying that even if you cap bayld you won't qualify for all drops unless you do certain types of actions? I'm curious about this because I tend to go blm to WKRs but in the past 4 Hurkans I haven't seen any of the original drops even though I only have the bullet from it. (I assumed I was getting the bullet again.) If there are things we need to check off our list to qualify for the slots I wish they would tell us what the qualifications are.

[dasva]

It does somewhat look like they are saying that certain actions increase odds in just 1 slot while other actions do another slot. Given the way they divide it up looks like there is 5 categories and if I had to guess I'd say 3 are taking dmg, dealing dmg, and curing. Buffing and debuffing though they don't really seem to get you evals. It might be something weird like campaigns. Or it might be the different reive bonus messages. Probably not going to pay to just tank or just dd or just support though. Especially since the dev note said if you don't get points for a certain slot it's odds will be 0 <.<.

I take little damage, do a lot of magic damage, and heal a lot of HP as SMN. I rarely get RME upgrade items, but have every other drop that I care about.

[gaira]

same here. i have literally every gear item old and new from all 6 except tiger pants so far. however, i've only ever seen an RME item twice since update hit. most of the time i just derp around killing trash, but i've done pld and tanked a few bosses too.

[Treize Kordero]

I've gotten 5 RME items myself in total. As for the rare/ex and rare items, I've gotten the majority of them from each WKR accept the ones I really want the most.. Kaquljaan, Otomi Helm, Lion pants.

Anyway I've done at least 15+ WKR since the update and mainly gotten at least 1 of the rare/ex drop.

That's from going DD with /dnc and killing mobs.

[Hitou]

So far, as long as I've gotten at least 1 eval from a WKR I've gotten full drop slots to load. I could have been lucky that run, donno. Other than that, the only times I don't get full drops is if I already have the rare/ex item(s) that loaded for that slot. The jobs I go on vary but sometimes I'll just be DD and do nothing but kill adds and still get full drops.

They changing my CC crab back after anniversary event over

[dasva]

Whole slew of dev posts today

[gaira]

one mentions lowering void clusters to 20k from 100k and removing the weekly limit on purchasing them for vw

another is something about larceny not giving priority to stealing a sp, didn't catch it all

next is about quivering ammo

then something about beastmaster and charm from mainhand ilvl

something about saboteur, not a good translation (dunno what range magic is)

also a response about porter slips and JSE cloaks not being storable

well, that's all i could get from google.

[dasva]

Well looks like they did official translations of 2 of those. Thanks SE. Slycer where art thou. Voidcluster thing is neet though. Cheap and easy enough might start tri boxing some

[Paridise]

After starting to work on Bard and Making the player required 4+ 4 song Horn/Harp. Its super hard to get a group of 6, after shouting for over a week and not able to get enough trigger jobs DD to go, I drop party. Cant solo NM's that drop HMP or HM's for the 1500 needed. Not enough on server to buy if i had the gil. Seems to me the only players that are working on the HMP are Bards. This 1500 needed needs to be highly thought about to way less. Even if I farm VW every day for 6 month I dont see getting 1500. Players are burnt out on trying to trigger and kill for unknown Old content useless crafting logs and junk. Please help bard get HMP.

Side note are you fixing Blue Mage locked at 60 points with all the new spells?

[dasva]

I wouldn't say they are unsoloable. I know smn can solo all the city t4s without voidclusters before skirmish gear came out. I'd imagine they could beat qilin too with clusters. Hell I bet some hard hitting DDs could zerging with all those temps. Granted no procs probably but still better than nothing. That said yes it does need to be adjusted or added to other content

[Draylo]

Well a lot of it can be trio pretty easily and get capped lights. A lot of it can be soloed by BLU (haven't tried other jobs) but it isn't as efficient due to not capping lights. BLM BLU BRD should be able to trio all of it with a respectable amount of fights w/capped lights. It will take a long time though, I do feel the frustration about that. They should find a way to make VW relevant somehow, maybe adding new VW to Adoulin. I know few people hated it but it was a nice community event where everyone benefits.

[arus2001]

Meh, just make HMPs "currency" drops on Abyssea mobs like with Dynamis. Toss the higher tier stuff onto the empy NMs at a slower rate of production. Could even retro-add some uber mobs for the ilvl generation or even a new BC within the Shinryu arena. Honestly no point in locking the pre-adoulin phases of RMEs to alliance content. And there's always actually lessening those reqs to consider, too. Mythics need their own brand of help, though. Not everyone's filthy rich or willing to spend months on a single item. Part of that's why Delve just seem so damn attractive in comparison.
