150k Conquest Points

[Loris]

When ToUA came out, conquest points lost most of their value. Refilling Empress Bands is really their only use. Even IS is undervalued, with most of the new items being useful in Besieged only and crap like that.

Salvage is still a large unknown and since I don't see that many pieces of the new armor walking around Whitegate, I think its safe to say that people are going to keep camping the land kings. In fact, even if they did release Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber-Gun-Sword with DMG: 50 Occasionally attacks 5-6 times Latent effect: Randomly one-shots monsters, people would still want a Ridill just because its a Ridill. Same applies for E. Body, A. Body, etc. Like most servers, mine has 2 Linkshells that totally monopolize DA and who will stop at nothing until every member, their mules and their mule's mules are maxed out on drops.

The other day my friend laughed about how he has over 100k in conquest points with nothing to buy and I got to thinking. What if they added another quest that looks like this:

Princely Bounty

Prereqs: Rank 10 Sandy, Windy and Bastok, ZM, CoP, Apoc Nigh complete, have defeated desired NM at least once and have title (i.e. Fafnir Slayer, Nidhogg Slayer, Behemoth Dethroner), have 150,000 CP. Biggest emphasis here is on Title, to prevent forum /emo about people getting loot from a mob they don't have the skill to defeat. Must have defeated at least once or thanks for playing.

Walkthrough:
1. Approach the Palace in Ru'Lude Gardens and click on the door.
2. The Zilart Princes will talk about the dreaded HNMs that reside in certain far-off areas of their kingdom to provide a nifty storyline
3. Change title to appropriate one (i.e. Fafnir Slayer)
4. Approach palace again and click on door. Another CS where they marvel at your skill/strength and offer you a reward: Any Abj. or Rare/Ex dropped by the monster whose title you currently possess for 150,000 Conquest Points
5. Repeatable once per month.
6. Type {Ridill}: O !!!! in LS chat and start saving for E. Body.

Now, I can hear the cries from people saying that these items will become commonplace and everyone will have them. Most serious endgame players have all (or can finish) the prereqs in a week. I won't deny that, but think about this: 150,000 CP. They could even raise it to 200k or 250k to be more hardcore. 150,000 CP = 1,500,000 experience points IN THE OLD AREAS. Thats almost as much as leveling 2 jobs 1-75 or 150 merits. So this has two very nice effects in my opinion: Allows players not in the monopolizing LS to get an item they really want and clears out the shit-fest that is Caederva Mire during NA primetime. And lets face it, everyone has Suppas, Osodes, Assault gear, Sea rings and theres no reason to keep the gear from land kings from the masses. All it would do is shorten a few e-peens. Let them spend 3 hours a day in DA for a small percentage chance to get what they want while you get merits and save for your item at the same time.

Anyway, just an idea but I'm thinking about sending it to SE and wanted some feedback. Yes I'm a first-time poster but long-time lurker, just like to stay on the sidelines most of the time. Flame me if you will!

Another alternative would be to simply give people what they want, which is gear that's better than 3 year old gear, which is more or less the same difficulty to obtain as 3 year old gear.

the idea is made of so much annoying crap (not flaming) it might actually be put in the game. o.O

Except instead of abjurations or weapons (mostly Ridill), they would give you some shitty random item that would not be worth it..face it, you want ridill, ebody, etc? Go camp it, get a better bot than your competition, and pray to whatever diety you believe in that it will drop the item you want, and that you have enough points/lot highest/get picked to lot item (w/e your ls does with loot that is).

PlayerA trades 150,000 points.

PlayerA recieves a ??? box.

Oh it misses the moon phase, vanadiel day and your current nation in 1st place

[Faranim]

I've already got 300k CP.

But there's no way in hell I'd lose all of my OPs to do the Rank Missions for other nations.

[Larrieux]

I rather trade CP for KS. 2,000 CP for 1 KS or trade them for some Shades CP item with firework enchantments.

Word. Make this instead....

A CP item that gives you the same lovely ToAU 15% exp bonus when in areas subject to Conquest (and with Signet active of course). Make it furniture, give it enough strength so it overrides whatever else you can add when it's placed in your Mog house (15 would do it), and charge people 150,000 conquest points.

There, now people are happy to not just gain CP but exp in any zone.

[Shuemue]

Let's say you can get 10k/hr with a decent party in non ToAU zones...

150hrs in KRT on my mnk for a ridill? OMW!

I have a habit of going with people yet to hit 75, or who've never done it before.
