Thread: Patch 3.38 - Relic Nerf, 240 Lore Weapons, Uncapped Midan Gears    

Not sure if anyone is aware but starting tomorrow you can get the gobdips for the Lore Weapons to upgrade them to 240 by trading a farthing and penny. Also they are removing the limits and cap on midan gears and armor you obtain from Alexander Midas.

Guessing that big new patch is around the corner, holy shit did time fly.

[3.0] Players can now exchange a Mhachi Farthing and a Mhachi Penny for an Illuminati Deep Gobdip by speaking with Bertana in Idyllshire (X:5.9 Y:5.2).
[3.0] The weekly limitation on Midan Gears received upon completing Alexander - The Burden of the Son has been abolished.
[3.0] The number of Midan Gears required to exchange for High-capacity Tomestones has been reduced from seven to four.
[3.0] Certain anima weapon quests have been adjusted as follows:

Unidentifiable Bone and Unidentifiable Shell can now also be purchased in exchange for Allagan tomestones of esoterics or Allagan tomestones of law.
Unidentifiable Ore and Unidentifiable Seeds can now also be purchased in exchange for Allagan tomestones of poetics.
The number of tomestones required to purchase the following items has been adjusted:

Item Before 　 After
Unidentifiable Bone 680 Allagan tomestones of poetics → 300 Allagan tomestones of poetics
Unidentifiable Shell 680 Allagan tomestones of poetics → 300 Allagan tomestones of poetics
Unidentifiable Ore 680 Allagan tomestones of law → 300 Allagan tomestones of law
680 Allagan tomestones of esoterics → 300 Allagan tomestones of esoterics
Unidentifiable Seeds 680 Allagan tomestones of law → 300 Allagan tomestones of law
680 Allagan tomestones of esoterics → 300 Allagan tomestones of esoterics

The number of Allied Seals required to purchase Unidentifiable Bone and Unidentifiable Seeds has been reduced from 1,000 to 300.
The number of items required to exchange for the following items has been adjusted:

Item Item Required Before 　 After
Unidentifiable Bone Precision Gordian Bolt 10 → 3

Just saw the notes. Let the tears flow!

welp, was feeling really silly about pre-buying all of the HQ crafted items for that relic stage, listed everything for shits immediately this morning. Apparently someone didn't read the notes, all sold within a minute 'o'

I think I've got enough tokens do multiple relics. Not sure I have the drive to get aether oils or ESO grind for the later steps

Plus now with the changes you don't need to spend esoterics on anything but the last step which is a godsend. Now you can work on every step simultaneously.

Plus you can get an i240 lore weapon now so there's no actual point in trying to grind for the i230 step (Even if you didn't have a Palace of the Dead or Nidhogg weapon) unless you have somewhere in the order of 75 Umbrite and Crystal Sand.

I'm not getting them to have weapons for other classes, it's more because going Monk is a better choice given SE's balancing philosophy. That is assuming I stick around

I see a lot of people excited about this patch, but I just see it as they're doing it to get more people to continue the anima so they don't get bored...

If those people quit at the i210 step, they'll surely quit again when they get to the current step.

Achievement hunters rejoice.
