    Why don't...

    ...people use their heads when upgrading relic weapons? Seriously.

    If you're in a 'strong' LS like BG, it's pretty obvious that at some point you're gonna have earnt enough dynamis currency to get an upgraded relic.

    If you spend all the money on 1 person, you're taking a gamble, because if that person never comes online, or quits the game, you've basically wasted the weapon.

    If I was the leader of the LS, I would start a completely seperate mule account and level Bard up to 75 on it (come on, not gonna be too much effort) and give the gjallarhorn to that account. The account would be accessible by the leading members of the linkshell (so maybe 3-5 people) which means that the character would be available at every single event. If one of the people quit, the account would still be active and usable by all the other people.

    Why does nobody do this? I mean, I know it's quite a bit of work to level a 75 on a completely separate account, but the benefit of having a character who has the gjallarhorn and is guaranteed to be at every event is worth the effort.

    Because as far as LS benefit goes, gjallarhorn only helps 5 people with MP at a time, maximum. :D

    It's not a horrible idea, but you'll have to convince upwards of 50 other people, including every bard in your ls, to let this happen.

    It might be easier (and somewhat faster) just to agree that whichever BRD gets it agrees to give/sell his account to the LS should he quit. There's precedent of this with people who get ridill/e.bd

    Maybe because the entire purpose of a relic weapon is to increase personal e-penis size...? Why would you give it to a mule?

    Personally I would leave a linkshell if they were more concerned about killing things a bit easier then making somebody very happy.

    Think you're missing the point that unless the person is paying for it themselves, nobody in the entire game "deserves" a 400-500 mil weapon. You ask for too much.

    The shared character is a much more effective way to go about it.

    That's very true I guess. I dunno though, when a LS gives somebody relic odds are the leaders all have acess to that account anyway. I'm sure all the bg officer thingers have acess to bikkwin.

    IDK Lyoniel seems pretty annoyed in the agies shield thread that bikkwin quit. when he says basically

    "regardless of who we gave it to they'd be playing WoW now"

    Our LS has basically narrowed our currency intake down to either: An Aegis Shield or a Gjhallahorn or w/e, as far as my knowledge goes. And if it was Aegis it'd probably go to the leader of our LS who is Jordainavon. And if 'twere a Gjallahorn or w/e it'd probably go to our late member Rokub, who can't play as much as he used to, so now his account is used by all of our sackholders. So it's funny that'd you mention something like giving it to a "mule" type character for all the Sackholders to use, which is what we're probably going to end up doing.

    The only drawback that I can forsee is, like someone mentioned, that bard only goes to 5 other people... maybe switch the bard between parties lol?

    Relic is a waste in it's entirety and if any LS spends 400-500mil on currency instead of pimping out their -entire- member list with auction house items then they are very stupid. lol @ BG.

    Sounds like it would work good until someone got greedy and changed the password on the account with the horn.

    Well at this point it'd be smart just to upgrade AF2 since one AF2 upgrade is, oh, 1/1000th as expensive as one complete relic upgrade. Yeah, most of them may be shitty, but some of them are pimp as fuck (hello Avatar Crit+4% on SMN Body) and at least your limiting factor isn't currency so you could upgrade basically your entire LS for less than it takes to upgrade one relic. And coincidentally, I bet the combined useful upgrades from an entire LS would end up as worthwhile as one person having relic if not more.

    You're such a fucking noob to ask for easily available information like this on a forum.

    Go back to Allakhazam. I'm tired of being nice to you and ignoring your stupidity; tired of refraining from posting in threads that you post in. I'll just be an asshole, like Nynja.
