    sup, you know items with 1 enchantment charge actually have infinite charges right?
    Hydra Haubert/Doublet have a max charge of 20.
    those don't count though, because they have situational use / utility even without the Enchantment.

    Hydra drops with unlimited charges - shitty without enchantment, pretty damn good with
    Hydra drops with finite charages - pretty good without enchantment, awesome with.

    I don't see what the complaint is. Reviler's Helm has finite charages, but you don't see people bitching about how useless it is for a PLD/NIN

    Since you have no idea if they're 2 minute buffs or 2 hour you can't say if they're good or not. But as it is, most of the buffs aren't that amazing, and in some cases they're already available to a lot of those jobs from existing items.

    They're shitty both ways. This is a good thing, it means we have no interst in farming them, couldn't give a fuck if they don't drop, and won't waste our time on them.

    At lesat going to fight Vrtra doesn't require a 1,000,000 gil fee split 18 ways that also takes out a day you could farm a Dynamis that has a reasonable chance at giving AF2, currency and at likely 100x less PITA factor.

    Well some of the new enchantment gear this update is pretty good. I was screwing around with the Talisman Cape on my 27 SMN, it's cheap to make, has 50 charges, and the enchantment on it lasts 30 minutes.

    No, Vrtra takes 1-2 stacks of 60k poison pots, and a good 2-3 hours you could have spent doing sea, sky, Dynamis or Limbus

    We did the Aern run last night.

    What's the reward? Has it been determined yet?
    We managed to kill 7 Aern's and no treasure or time boxes. So 15 mins and out. We didn't finish off either of the 5 packs, we simply ran out of time. We didn't figure much luck with 16 people on 5 Aerns's at once with 2 mins left but what the hell right/

    Is it just a gauntlet, trash as many as quickly as you can? (18 coins in 15 mins isn't all that bad really. It would be even better if we had some loot to shoot for.)

    We did Temenos Basement this weekend and got some mystery time extensions from what must have been the closet aerns (the pairs of aerns hiding in the various little alcoves). We never got any time extension notices, or any time chests when killing the aerns. We'd just see something like "You have 14 minutes left in Temenos" when we should have already passed that point.

    We managed to clear some of the little closets, intermediate hallways, the 3-packs in the corner rooms, and one of the large groups in one of the large open square rooms (like where you fight Ultima). We only managed to kill a few more after finishing the big group, so I ran around to see what we had left. It appeared we had missed some of the closet aerns, and a couple corner rooms. I didn't see any more of the large square room packs, but there was one of those large open hallways (like when entering the grand palace) that had 4 aerns back to back in the middle. I snuck past those, hugging the wall, and saw one more 3-pack in a corner room, before I started seeing areas we already covered.

    We got about 70 coins. Aerns tended to reraise a lot, and drop coins each time, up to 3.

    Heh, the other day we did a Jorm faster than some NA LS on our server can kill Fafnir in too lol. Granted, Vrtra is alot harder than Jorm is, I can still see where you're coming from ^^.

    Last night my LS was trying to decide whether to take a couple coins from each limbus run and buy one of these chips. I remember reading this post and didn't think it was worth it. Anyone found anything that makes it worth buying the chip instead of waiting for it to drop?

    From what I heard about this chip, it's like a bonus if it drops in one of the regular limbus runs. They are nice "bonus" areas that can drop a decent amount of coins, if you didn't buy one. If you bought one you might get back what you paid. Maybe...

    To me these areas need to be treated like bonus areas. If you get a chip - woot! If not don't go out of your way to get one.

    I'm still waiting for someone to document a full run with maps and pics and detailed info and shit before passing judgement. For me, what's in the final box and the overal difficulty in getting to it can only decide if it's worth 75 coins.

    It was a discussion between about 6 people. I think out of the 6, I'm the only one that has heard any results at all from it. I was the only one that didn't want to buy it. Normally, at the end of a run, everyone gets equal coins and then we random for the leftovers, they're proposing we save the leftovers to buy a chip. I figure by the time we save up enough coins, one will drop anyway.
