1- Mpk by HNM/NM campers.
2- 12 to 24hrs of camping and still might not get claim.
3- 5 to 6 hrs of farming God items.2 3 hrs fight and a few days to get ready for it.Still might take a year to win lot
4- AF2 and dynamis.Takes you about 2 to 3 hrs to farm for the gil needed to enter dynamis.You might not win lot on a single piece of shit feet armor for a few months/weeks.Relic is not the best armor in game and hence the level 59/69 armor is better.
5- Help requests atleast 1 every 5 mins or something.And those ppl would never help u if u had asked em fo sure.
6- Equipment that requires months to farm gil for it and then kiss JP nuts to get the earthern abj.
7- God armor is not godly.
8- You need 10k exp per merit points.50k exp on mobs that give like freaking 100 exp.
9- Last but not the least ,the relic weapon upgrade and the final ws.You might wanna use ur wife's credit card for this one or make her work cuz u need about 130 to 180 mil gil to get this baby.And yes it might still do dmg as good as raging axe.. but it looks cool.
So after burning like 2 to3 years of ur life (Its a chain effect.Once u fuck up one year u fuck up 3 to 4) you still can't solo a dumb fucking easy prey to decent challenge rabbit or do 2k dmg on a ws...
1. Happens anywhere, everywhere.
2. Only thing I can think of with a window like that is Peacock Charm and Kraken Club, both of which have horrible drop rates AND no one expects you to have either of these at any point. The other, somewhat-bad window NMs (Mainly Joyeuse) may have some obscene window, but also have a 100% drop.
3. This is why you do it with, say, a God LS or a group of friends whom have the same attendance (or at least very close to the same) every run, to prevent new people from coming in and getting a lucky shot as opposed to people whom may have been trying for weeks, months.
4. Yes, the winning lots on AF2 (which has the most abominable drop rate EVER) is extremely stupid, I agree with this completely. But if you see the level 59/69 armor as better, why does this bother you?
5. Didn't you just flame me in my own post about saying how I hate getting my butt kissed and help-begged? Gee....
6. Yes, it completely sucks that some Abjs. are tougher to get than other ones by a long shot, but they also tend to be considerably better than the easier-to-get ones.
7. Granted, Kirin's Pole is neat but not at all a master-of-disaster weapon, but look at Genbu's Shield; -10% physical damage. Look at Kirin's Osode, Pretty much +10 every stat and FIFTY light defense. Technically, this stuff is better than GM armor itself. If they made that stuff any better, they'd hafto make the drop rate even worse than it is now.
8. Merits carry over to other jobs as well, which can give some very useful advantages if used right. Not to mention, it's good to at least max out your exp post-75 so you don't delevel too easily, right?
9. Only WS I've seen is Gate of Tartarus, on a bee in Rolanberry Fields, and it only did 270. So yeh, this is completely right, unfortunately, but then again it might have some odd effect we don't know of, same goes for the other "final WSes". But meh, I'm happy with Hexa Strike, and I'll settle with a Purgatory Mace when I can get one, vs the 100m+ Mjolnir.
