It makes sense that the alternate 'high damage' path with slightly worse delay than Empyrean weapons will be the 'occasionally attacks 2-4 times' that we've seen in the .DATs. Following level progression past 80 would put what is currently a relatively high base damage (for OAX) in a reasonable enough range, and gives some leeway for augmentling the damage a little further.
I'm sure the last one will require that 2 million curor item to upgrade.
If 2-4 are realy augments for magian and not for some shit from abyssea chests then yeah only one that will get it will be those weapon that have 2-3 now but that would be massivly broken ( especially on GUN with its basic dmg of 15 now and 90 of new ammo 2-4 hit would be just broken or 2-4 sword for pldor 2-4 hand to hand ) They would realy go crazy doing that.
Primeval Drink is a temp item, so it's unlikely. My bet is that it makes you invincible for the rest of that visit to Abyssea.
My theory is that you need to use it to trigger a CS for unlocking the Emyprian weapons, not unlike how BLMs need to Manafont mid-cs for one of their AF or unlocking SCH.
You're all crazy, the brew is going to be for the final Relic upgrade, and the Emp weapons are just going to need you to turn in 10k Cruor.
I will kill you if you are right failure. kill you dead.
It's the perfect cure for relic sickness, then. People who get relic weapons burn out so often after realizing they have hit their huge goal was that almost unattainable. Now SE gives you another massively insane grindquest to return meaning to your life so you continue pumping quarters into the machine.
So, what's the Path for the New Bow and is it better then the Ebow?
Except that Empyrean weapons require 50 drops from mobs that can rape full allies, and only drop 2 at a time (assuming they don't drop one or none).
So all you need is for a Linkshell to spend time in Abyssea farming pops/NMs solely for you for a couple months. But at least they get Cruor!
Empyrean weapons: the new carrot upon which those with Relic/Mythic weapons can focus.
iv been looking at the HQ/NQ versions of the DMG+ Bow.. the NQ has delay of 524, HQ 490. with /sam takes 19 STP in gear to get 5 hit with 524 delay.. how much more STP do you need in gear for 5 hit on the 490 delay?
So, anyone gotten a Carbosse's Gem yet? What's the drop rate/difficulty of the NM?
Hopefully drops at least a few since they're needed for multiple weapons and you need fifty of the damn things.
But knowing SE it will only drop one. Orz
Someone beat her last night. It was almost a full alliance and she gave them a great deal of trouble, dropped two gems.
I was just checking in Abyssea with the Cruor Prospector NPC... all of the temporary items' pictures only have RARE/EX icons and are missing the TMP icon. Including shit like Healing Powder, Lucid Potions, and all those items we all know are temp-only. Primeval Brew is a temporary item just like the game says. The item is under the list "Temporary Items" to purchase with the Cruor Prospector.
I suppose it could be used in some kind of Empyrean weapon final augmentation quest within Abyssea... perhaps wielding the weapon while drinking it or some crap, who knows... I doubt we'll even know after someone finally blows 2 million Cruor only to realize it is indeed temporary. So, they drink it before they lose it and they don't know what the hell it did,only get spit out of Abyssea 90min later, eating their hat.
