    I had a tought the qiqirin might give you some alex back - similar to rtellic quests. So just someone had to get 50k alex - and reach them around or something.

    Sadly that tought got dispelled quick as there is´t any inventory space in the world to hold a repay for a couple thousands of alex....

    From the 3rd floor of Silver Sea, room at H-10 where the ramparts auto-spawn undead:

    Keep forgetting to ask THF to try stealing from machinery. So wasteful. ('AC

    I'm fairly certain that Melios is right.

    As nice as it is to get started on the new relic weapon questline, I think it's more important for us to wait to see WTF these new relic weapons are going to do, and have them stop being placeholder items.

    I can just see someone doing all that crap for the new relic right now, and then get an item that's equivelent of a T0 relic item drop... 1 damage, 999 delay. And then when SE updates, they don't make the change retroactive or something...

    Fourth Rampart dropped gem on Earthsday, so even incorrect ramparts can drop gems. I forgot the part where 4FS restricts portal use until the correct rampart is defeated, and teleports up even if every incorrect rampart is broken before the correct one. So, yeah, can only "farm" the north end.

    Also, 5FS chariot dropped nothing.

    Just a quick question, how much do you see alexandrites selling for on your respective servers. On bismarck, i've been buying any that are 5k or less in addition to what we have been getting from our salvage runs.


    PS Alma and Kuno pwn :O

    I buy 10k or less, but if you tell me you see them for 5k, I might lower my max price >_>

    Actually we had the same loot pool during ZR but I was too busy kicking ass cause we were short on time. F5F6BOSS with 2min left.

    I started offering 5k on Sylph, but everyone seemed so certain that they were worth 50k for about a week after the patch. Now I get them for 10k or less where I can.

    Alexander

    i think the price will be dictated mainly by how many will be really needed to finish the weapon. i have seen them go for as cheap as 4k on alexander, and as alma said over 50k (i have personally seen 1 mil).

    Man, 50k alexandrites wouldnt be so difficult if every non NM mob from the reactionary ramparts dropped 2-3.

    10k seems to be the trend on carbuncle.

    Saw an odd 7k or 8k.


    Of course other idiots basar 20k+ etc as usual



    Fake dream Qiqirin NPC text of dreams:


    "Sniff sniff - look what happened to your Alexandrites! The little shineys doubled in my hands!"

    ...and every tally from there on they would double <.<

    A Qiqirn's alexandrite collection doubles every day, filling his hand on the 30th day. On which day was the Qiqirn's hand half full?
