    When an entire day of the entire server spamming Campaign puts out less currency than a standard Dynamis run, I'm not too worried. Even if 100s do exist, the drop rate is probably insanely low. It will be the occasional nice bonus for Campaign people, and nothing more. Currency prices will only be mildly affected because people will start trying to get rid of their 2-3 pieces rather quickly.

    Yes I'm that skeptical, because we all know that theres people out there who get their kicks out of starting rumors. If this is fake, in 6 months you'll still be hearing people repeat it and the person who shopped it will still be laughing about it.

    You don't even have to be a particularly good photoshopper to fake a cellphone pic. You do the shop on your pc, then take a pic of the pc screen. The low quality makes it very difficult to tell.

    unless people find a way to manipulate the odds (and by people i really mean cgf most likely as the odds will probably still suck) the generated currency from union will likely be less per day than 1-2 good dynamis runs. given the number of dyna runs that happen daily on a given server, i'm not seeing this be a big factor in the currency market.

    Right here lurking wassap? Since I have so many opinions about things I give you mine on this:
    So far it doesn't seem broken and can add some value for other people to enjoy Campaign in another way and make some people fix some money, it seems okey at best. It doesn't reward casual player to get close-to-heavy-endgame gear by minimal effort if that is what you're asking

    Forget single currency, forget 100-pieces, just wait until someone posts a pic of a fully-upgraded relic weapon dropping.

    10,000 dropping would be much funnier.

    Well, makes it easier to own a Claustrum now, "I won it in a Campaign, I swear!"

    I'll let this woosh pass on basis of the fact that the "NPCing it" joke was kind of forced and dumb.

    3/10 on the joke
    1/10 woosh'd

    Does anyone know where the union chests appear in La Vaule? Had a helluva time trying to locate them and sadly I could not.

    And another question. I was the only person doing Coyote union in glacier. I was dead when the battle ended but when i rred, the chest didn't pop at all. The other 4 did. But the log said the standard "I earned enough xp to get spoils, etc". After 5 min, I got another message saying my spoils had been revoked. Anyone had anything like this?

    It seems that chests don't pop for your union if it doesn't do well enough overall, reguardless of if you did well enough. Easy to happen with low members.

    La Vaule chests pop right in front of the fortifications hut, where all the orcs like to play.

    It appears to work something like:

    Every 2000 exp earned by a Union (as a whole) grants 1 item in the coffer.

    500 exp earns you access to said coffer.

    If the Union's total exp earned doesn't break 2000, no coffer will appear.

    Thus, it is not always wise to go solo unless you somehow know you're joining in on a 2000~2500 exp fight. Also, it sucks for you to do 2000~3000exp worth of work, and have another douche join the Union late and do 600exp worth of effort, and yoinks your only item that popped.
