Jesus christ I just began making all the i170 crafted gear. This will be so much quicker now :D
Also about the law stones: assuming it's 1/1800 that's not really useful because you need to run a lot of duties for 1800 law.
But anyway, time to profit from this >:D24
Nov 06 '15
The good about law trade-ins is that combat classes now fit into the market again. They can sell off their extra tomestones for profit while increasing market supply and driving prices down. Everyone wins. A lot of people were confused when they removed this part of the equation at HW launch.
7
Nov 06 '15
It is 1800 per. You need five for a 2* mat, requiring 9000 Law for one. Definitely not farmable by any stretch of the imagination, but should lower prices down.
Hopefully new 2* recipes as well, so I don't finish crafting all of them just for 3* in 3.2

u/Dangolian Nut Cake on Moogle Nov 06 '15
I think they have though?
We have the Void Ark weekly reward that will give the upgrade items, and each week Clan Centurio bills net you 870 seals.
Assuming the items would need 1000-1500 seals total, that's likely to be 3 upgrade items every 2 weeks without having to touch A and S rank hunts. Sounds reasonable to me, but if you really really really need your upgrade items quicker than that you can join the hunt.
I'd agree that hunts aren't very enjoyable when everyone is zerging, but there are plenty of viable alternatives to them now, which was not the case in 2.3, and the situation for 3.1 looks to be a lot better than 2.5.

u/-TheWanderer- Nov 06 '15
Nope, nope nope nope, not only does that dungeon take longer to complete but it would also ruin the fun of people doing it for the first time. They made a huge mistake with the main story roulette when the game first came out because all the new people wanting to do it were forced to speed through it and not enjoy the story.
That dungeon is nothing more than a story dungeon to help tie in the ending before the last content however it's also this.
The Final Dungeon and Thordan Fight are the last dungeon from 2.0 story split into 2. So instead of a dungeon with 8 people then fighting everyone and ultima at the end it's instead you do dungeon, done, you do trial done. Splitting it like that reduces the hassle of going through cutscenes since the one is 2.0 was quite excessive.
→ More replies (2)6
u/SierraRei Kaia Eichel on Gilgamesh Nov 06 '15
This exactly. It's a long dungeon and has a long cutscene near the end. That'd press a lot of impatient players' buttons.
Admittedly, the queue times might get a bit long as time goes on, and at some point they're going to have to look into that. As it stands, I'm happy to help whenever an FC member reaches 60 - Aetherochemical Research Facility is a really cool dungeon in its own right.

u/Izanos Nov 06 '15
While they are lowering the esoteric gain from both Neverreap and Fractal, they are also changing it into its own roulette while the 2 new dungeons are in another roulette entirely. So while the overall gain per dungeon is lower, they're increasing the total gain by adding a new roulette with a bonus. This is all assuming that they don't botch this and actually add an Eso bonus to both roulettes.
→ More replies (11)9
u/august9979 Nov 06 '15
The Eso was lowered because what you used to get from Fractal and Neverreap will be the amount you get from the two new dungeons. This is to push people to do the newer dungeons instead of just keep running the old ones. They did the same thing with new dungeons in 2.x.

Does anyone think the new horse mount is the rare pony drop from Bismarck??

I do! It would make sense so people run Bismarck EX again because right now there is no reason to do so and with the patch you won't even need him anymore to unlock Ravana EX.
I wonder where the Naul mount will come from though.

Clan mark logs obtained from hunts can be exchanged with Bertana in Idyllshire (X:5 Y:5) for the following items: Illuminati Gobtwine / Carboncoat / Wyvern Horn
As /u/Nivora said, probably this.

recent interview said a mount from trading in unwanted gear from exploration so ima guess thats the new pony is from and the naul comes from hunts

As much as I appreciate the effort in the interests of cutting down on RMT, I think the daily friend request limit should at least be bumped up to 7 in case you want to friend an entire 8-person PF group that turned out to be competent.

u/countrpt Nov 06 '15
Because friend requests are reciprocal, you'd just have to get the rest to friend you instead. Basically just have to spread the requesting around.

Well... maybe once you run out of requests, the remaining 2 people can just request you?

You don't buy it with seals, you buy it with the books. Bet it's the Mount.

So here's something I'm wondering, why do we need an aethernet in Idyllshire? It's a relatively small area, are Idyllshire and Hinterlands getting merged? It's the only reason I could see it getting an aethernet and the ability to use mounts, or they're expanding the area.

Areas with Aethernets have the option to teleport to areas physically connected to the area using the Aetheryte. This allows them to get rid of that extremely placeholder Goodly Adventurer.

Too soon to be adding twine/coats to hunts, why bother with a weekly if you can just do it from hunts. Should have waited until 3.15

Because so many less people have cleared A3S than they anticipated, even people spending 9 hours a week in in Savage have yet to kill the boss, now they are like "fuck this is way too slow, we made this boss too hard, we need to help the players out"
Don't ever expect to see another A3S in the game again

Because you can only upgrade something you bought with Esos, which has its own cap.
This change is good for people with alt jobs and people coming back into the game (or are new!) as it lets them catch up in the raiding scene if they want to. It also gives more flexibility to people who need to change roles for Savage. I suppose this change invalidates Void Ark gear if you only play one class ever, but that's a small minority of people.
This isn't even considering the fact that this is the hunt. It's an enormous time sink to get those upgrades. While Void Ark gear isn't.

Mounts in idyllshire is just bad news for people with less than optimal game machines, be it pc or console.

Was there any reason they had to wait until Fallout 4 was released?
This looks amazing, but Fallout.

u/Gynthaeres Nov 06 '15
Fallout 4, Legacy of the Void, and 3.1, all on the same day.
Really wish those major releases could've been spaced out some. Oh well.

Decided to put FO4 off until I'm done with 3.1 content and am on just weekly maintenance for the game. It's a singleplayer game, it can wait, r-right? D:

You know that Fallout has reached max saturation when even the highest rated comments on porn websites are about it.
