So in short... no more competing or standing in line to pop briarius or whatever you want, should be multiple ???'s to trade to.

Well this will make brewing multiple mobs at once easier.

>_> why would you brew empyrean weapon NM's lol. MNK+WHM.... unless you have everything you'd ever want from shinryu and every other NM in abyssea which i mean.... i guess? But to each his own :o

I can see them patching it so you can only have one in play per alliance and others despawn if someone with it is invited into an alliance...

Get Fully buffed
Click on chest or some NPC.
Get LS member to pop NM and kite to you
Click off the chest and spend 15 seconds killing said monster
Click on chest or some NPC.
Get LS member to pop NM and kite to you
Click off the chest and spend 15 seconds killing said monster
rinse and repeat

This is how you do dozens of NMs for your drops in under 1/2 an hour.

I've considered it.... If i could spend 200k cruor to have 5 carabosse done in 20 mins as opposed to an hour ill take it. It serves me better than quickly killing a NM that I could have just gotten 3 more people to do.

I haven't brewed any empy nms yet but i understand the logic.

What else are you supposed to do with 300+ stones lmao... but true not everyone has that >_> I get that but you wont be able to pop more then 1 per alliance like mentioned.

I just think it's slightly unnecessary i mean its easy enough... does it really need to be that auto win mode >_<

I won't bash or start drama... it's your 200k cruor, go exp with it if you really want lol.

I approve on all accounts! *Slams Hammer*

I do it for glavoid. I'd rather farm up 6 sets, then use one brew and kill 6 in like 10 minutes.

I'm tickled that amun and tunga will now be obtainable from pyxis. Tunga especially.

FINALLY



An Abyssea NPC... In the Chocobo Circuit

I guess the way i look at it.. we wont see a major 95 cap or update for gear until like September? Whats the hurry lol.

Unless you are trying to get 5-6 empyreans... relics... and all jobs +2 i don't see why rushing with brew, i think there might be more to cruor in future let alone already needing cruor for new stuff in this update.

Time will tell >_>

True. I meant my time IRL, not in abyssea lol. If I can blow a million cruor to get another level 80 or 85 in a day as opposed to a week, I'll take a day.

I lol'd harder than I should have <.<

Yeah I was doing this too. I don't really want Twilight Helm/Mail or Eponas ring that bad. Since well I don't need Twilight on WAR at the moment. Also I barely play MNK/BLU or whatever can use Eponas atm :S

Its satisfying bitchslapping Glavoid. I've eaten 6k Disgorge when I first started doing them. I can do them fine now but it's payback lol,

lmfao kuz.

Im not sure why the hell they are letting you exit the chocobo circuit to any part of jeuno + put synergy in there?

Well I still have 4 million cruor. Not much else to do with it anyway. I also don't have a solid team to guarantee the kills, mostly mules. What new stuff is cruor needed for in this update?

I was told you needed like 350k cruor for new stuff with the update, ive been busy with blackbelt and other misc tasks and have had no time to adventure the new "content" just yet.

Plus don't forget you can buy items with it similar to conquest points and they have always added and expanded and adjusted that in the past, even for campaign.

Like i said though i'm not bashing... it's your cruor do what you feel you need to with it lol... who the *** cares if you get laughed at by this point.

My interest is piqued. Where is there new places to spend cruor and what can i spend it on?

Conquest points are a bad example. I currently have over a million of those spending them 7 and 10 at a time for scrolls.

As easy as cruor is to get, I can't see a reason to sit on it. I guess I'll just agree to disagree.

Now I can't wait to finish glavoid and chloris, so I can get amun and tunga key items from boxes and not have to fight 20 other groups for Tunga.

Totally digging the whole guku KI in chest thing.
Sobek is overcamped enough. Trying to outclaim 5 groups of JPs is a left ***.

/hifive SE!

ftfy

actually, the most positive for me is that youll get Heqets KI from gold chests too. i spend so many hours competing about the claim for that *** alone.

/sigh

Hopefully they'll shove them halfway across the map from the current ones, or block linkshells that have one popped, or even depop if you run too far from the pop point.

This one definitely is awesome.
The other NMs list, never really had much problem claiming.

Tunga on the other hand, I have seen people monopolize him for 5 hours straight. (no, I'm not exaggerating)

Meh... think I would have preferred them being poppable. The occasional KI when first building time and maybe a couple while farming NMs is still nice though.

I think i agree with nightfyre, pop able would have been nicer probably, but still good though.
