Rocl, just have to say, you are awesome.

That hunt poster looks so similar to XII's hunt posters. I hope they function similarly. c:

Lots of cool stuff coming in 2.28 and 2.3, why in the fuck did they delay 2.28 again though? Isn't it already a month late as it is

Final battlefield is "Avere" which is the name of Edda's fiance (the tank of her group who died permanently, and she kept his severed head)

Oh god, I have been wondering what she was up to.

[Sho]

Oh god, I have been wondering what she was up to.

She probably tried to summon him back to life using some dark magic, summoned him and was demonized in the process herself. The back story can't end well.

[Qeomash]

[BerenTebogo]

As for rare items, I think looking back at the origin of materia will make this easier to explain. Materia are essentially the crystallized essence of gear, encompassing the history of an item and the person that used it. In the same vein, item desynthesis may result in something that encompasses the relation between an item and the person who crafted it. These crystallized objects will be a new material that you haven't seen before. And by combining these with a certain item that already exists, something interesting might happen, so please try it out. Also, even if you don't receive one of these crystallized items, item desynthesis is convenient for recovering ingredients to create things you need, so please try breaking down a variety of items. However, there is no guarantee that you'll obtain all of the materials that make up an item. If we were to make this possible, the game’s economy would collapse. The item you obtain and how much of that item are decided by your desynthesis skill and the item’s item level.

Alexandrite from desynthesis?

[lilbubbles]

I have all my bases covered...

I have 3 retainers full of gear from speed runs and what not, 10 maps mailed to myself, 2000 philo tomes, 2000 myth(almost), 1680 soldiery.

I want a Novus bad, but if it requires more fates I quit the game.

[blowfin]

Alexandrite from desynthesis?

Atma from desynthesis? (kidding)

Edit: and i'm a moron because they said "new material".

[Niiro]

If we were to make this possible, the game’s economy would collapse.

[Waraji]

Key & Peel

You say this because we all know XIV economy is a farce right?

[Niiro]

Can't get anything by you.
