    Unlocking Empyrean Weaponskills

    Sorry to do this buy my searching skills suck and I don't seem to be able to find it.

    Is there a way to unlock empyrean weaponskills without going through the annoying NM phase at the beginning of the weapon trials? I thought I read somewhere you could get a 99 Walk of Echoes weapon and you just have to farm more WoE coins to get the weaponskill.

    I think it's 35/100/100 as opposed to 20/35/35 if you do the NM trials? I hope you're planning on buying the coins because there is absolutely no way in hell that skipping the NMs saves you time if you farm WoE yourself.

    Yes, I was planning on buying the coins. I hate NM camping with a passion, so if there is a way to avoid it it is worth the higher cost to just do the WoE part.

    It'll take you longer to farm your 30/100/100 in WoE than it will take to hunt the NM's.

    The only redeeming factor of doing WoE is your chance to make some gil (windbuffets etc)

    It will take you less time to do dynamis,salvage,delve,randomgilgenerator,etc. than camping the NMs*

    So untrue I once spent 18 hours camping before a single NM popped, and true the next one popped in 16 minutes but the 3rd took another 12 hours... so yeah a single trial took me over 24 hours of camping forget the rest of the trials to get to that point

    Yeah, let's spend 24 hours of monotonous camping instead of taking a small portion of our day to make gil instead. Great idea

    I assume that was before the repop nerf, though? I've camped for 20 hours for a single NM before the nerf, but after, the Empyrean NMs consistently pop within 1-2 hours.

    I think it depends on the NM. I'm not sure but I think [S] NMs didn't have their respawn adjusted. Only camped 1-2 of them but their respawns were significantly worse.

    Don't think they did them? iirc some like Black Triple Stars or Bugbear Strongman can still be retarded

    I think they only adjusted the first tier of the nms, aka the first 3 trials.

    I did a woe bow post update, it was the biggest waste of time. Especially more so because I thought all the nms would be on insta repop mode, so I spent 2 hours killing placeholders between pops for nothing.

    You are much better off just buying it.

    Haven't touched XI in forever... what's needed to unlock the weapon skills?

    I have 90 Verethragna and the level 90 WoE weapon (which I got when I though Chloris farming would be unfeasible).
