  • do you think they will make dynamis currency more common?

    as of right now most dynamis runs usually get an average of 200 currency (probably less). i'll hazard a guess that there's 20 dynamis LS on my server. most of them go twice a week.

    that's 200 * 20 * 2 per week: 8000 per week for the whole server.

    relic weapons cost about 500 + 1500 + 6000 + 7000 to attain: 15,000 (75 runs of 200 each)

    so every 2 weeks 1 person could get enough currency. however most currency is scattered all over the server, 5 here, 200 there. i only know 1 person that has a lot on our server, and that's because his LS pretty much gave him all the currency from every run for over a year.

    everyone is trying to upgrade, so everyone holds onto currency in small amounts. the price has climbed to 12k, to 14k, to 16k, to 20k per piece (2M for 100x). i don't think at this point it will be possible for anyone to get 15,000 currency without the entire efforts of a linkshell going to that one person for a long time (9 months). as time goes on, currency will only become more scarce as more people learn about relic weapons and start collecting currency.

    so the way i see it, either we will not see many more relic weapons besides the 1-2 per server that people have, or they have to add ways to get more currency.

    seeing how they have gradually nerfed stuff that some people complained was "too hard" (mainly thinking of some of the COP missions), my bet is they will eventually nerf dynamis currency too.

    one way they might do this is the dynamis zones that are in the game but not unlocked: dynamis Valkurm, Buburima, Qufim, Tavnazia. they might be level 65+ like the existing dynamis areas, but seeing how 3 of them are for low level players it's reasonable to assume they will have lower level caps.

    if those areas drop currency at the same rate, and only allow 2 runs per week, that might double or treble the currency income on each server.

    what if you could do both the high level ones AND low level ones twice a week? i guess it depends on the other drops for these areas.

    i'm just curious if anyone else cares to speculate on the possibility about (a) S-E nerfing currency, (b) the unopened dynamis zones.

    Re: do you think they will make dynamis currency more common?

    I just sent this suggestion to SE using the “Comments & Suggestions” web email thingy at:
    https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html

    Hello. My suggestion/comment would be to request that SE make it easier to upgrade relic weapons. As it currently stands, most people spend 10k to 20k gil on single currency and 1 to 2 million gil on 100 currency. But, the currency value continues to rise. The average person gets 0 to 3 pieces of currency per Dynamis run. Few people get pass the second stage upgrade, let alone a complete upgrade. Usually, only one or two people have fully upgraded weapons per server and they are usually LS leaders who have their underlings farm currency for them over a course of nine months or longer.

    Is this how SE intended for relics to be upgraded? If SE would just halve the amount of currency necessary for relic weapons to be fully upgraded, it would make the players happy and enrich the game. Almost any reduction in the amount of currency necessary would be appreciated.
    I encourage others to send their suggestions regarding this to SE. Maybe if they get enough responses, they'll make it easy for us to upgrade.

      Maybe they should give Dynamis currency away for the upcoming October moogle event. . .

        They should keep it the way it is. If you want easy stuff go play WoW.

        Why do people always want everything in this game easy to get?

          It's not exactly hard, it's just that it takes half of forever if you want to upgrade your weapon to LV5.

              They should make the dynamis mobs harder...
              That'd be interesting.

                It's not that people want it to be easy, it's that people wannt it to be possible. As it stands, the Weapons are next to impossible for almost everyone to get due to the amount of currency that can be generated from Dynamis and the amount of people pursuing weapons and it's frustrating.

                Not to mention, the weapons themselves aren't all that great in most cases. The effort vs. reward is quite out of wack.

                Oh, and WoW isn't as easy as everyone makes it out to be (Sorry, I had to throw that in there)

                  Hard is good. 9 month time sink for one ls to create one weapon isn't hard as much as a waste of time. High curreny requirement, somewhat low drop rate per run, 3 day wait between dynamsis, and number of players needed for dynamsis in combination make it rather extreme.

                      Re: do you think they will make dynamis currency more common?

                      It's in the "Ultra rare" category

                      Think of it like maat caps. It rewards are so praised and mysterious.

                      It was MEANT to be crazy.

                      Why do you think its weaponskill is a lvl3?

                      And some relic weapons are cheaper then others.

                        totally agree. maybe they could increase the amount of currency dropped a bit, but otherwize I like the system

                          Basically these weapons are so godly that they are ment to be rare. It takes about a little less then a year for one person to get a fully upgraded weapon with an LS deticated to one person getting it. On my server Phoenix there is 2 fully upgraded weapons both from the same LS. One guy I know of camped Habetrot a lot to farm the gil to buy the currency, he also had major help from his LS.

                          The problem we have here is in any NA ls everyone wants to upgrade their weapon which gives the average person like 1-6 pieces per run and they sell for 20-25k outside in Jeuno. So if you didn't get the currency in a run you went to you have to pay so much. A JP ls would be much more likly to give the full resourses to one person becasue its better for their LS as a whole. NAs really would never do that cause you would get people that would say how unfair it is.

                          Theres also the problem of doing assertion runs and fragment runs basically a whole run needs to be deticated to this and you won't find many helpful people that would do this just for one person. Both of these things are very easy to fail and if you do fail you just lost your 1 million gil.

                          Its probably best if SE did make the currency more avaiable. I don't see the harm in a few more people getting upgraded relic weapons.

                            Relic Weapons are least of my problems. I be happy getting AF2 for my job. Relic Weapons are just a plus.

                              Dynamis is one of the only major things taking out gil at the high end. If things were easy to get, inflation would just be that much higher on expensive stuff. Besides, it's not like there's a whole lot to do at lvl 75. Time sink = O
