An arm and a leg, your mortal soul, your first-born child, 5,000 JPs, 10,000,000 old ID cards, 20,000,000,000 skillchain orbs, what else...
/Checks notes
It also says in the fine print that you have to shave a yak by the light of a full moon on a midsummer night, in a hot tub while playing "Copa Cabana", while naked and giving Mr. Matsui a ***.

The first half doesnt seem too bad, I'll have to get back to you to fulfill the fine print once I locate my closest Yak farm...

5,000 JPs

My initial guess was a lot lower, but after talking with some folks, they are going to make it absurdly high. 5k is my new estimation.

One wave 3 boss (kill) = enough RP for completed weapon
OR
Pay 5000 JP = enough RP for completed weapon

Can do any combination of the two to acquire RP.

They have to make it stupid high to not discourage people from actually doing DynaD

SE is obsessed with the number 10,000. I wouldn't be a bit surprised for them to require 10,000 JPs to skip Dyna D altogether.

Surely, someone out there has all 22 jobs mastered with JP overflow capped off, so they are sitting on 11,000 JP right now. Leave it to SE to make it 11,111 JP so that no one can instantly finish.

Years ago I instantly finished Ukonvasara the second I logged in with my 100+ riftdrosses, which I gathered based on rumors :) So at least back then, they haven't had anything against instantly finishing :D

In Japanese and Chinese counting systems 10k is somewhat akin to k in ours. I'm having a little trouble remembering the proper wording for an explanation so it's much easier to use an example.
Eg. If we represent whatever that measurement is with # then:
100k to us is 10# to them.
1mil is 100#.
They mean the same thing but they simply think of the numbers in a different manner due to the language.

Oh, you'll also need a 10,000 Byne Bill, a Jadeshell, a Silverpiece, a Heavy Metal Plate, a piece of Alex, 100 Paragon cards for whatever job the equipment's for, and...
/Drumroll
Your left nut.
And if you do not have a left nut???

I don't see anything in the post indicating JP costs for upgrades.

IF IT were, I would love it. It would be so easy.

Go bst solo CP some more. I've had Capped JP on bst for long time. I don't think I've capped others though. Only around 200~300 jp on those maybe.

Its alot harder organizing a group to do well in Divergence.

Remember when they said "you won't have to be master, it's just a bonus"

I remember

While they still aren't technically lying, yeah.

What's a good spot to CP with a THF + WHM duoing w/trusts?
We've been doing Eschan-Il'aerns in Escha-RuAun so far and it's fairly slow.

You could try apex bats depending on your gear, just have to be ready to erase attack down. Rudras should do well enough, and adding a geo would be highly recommended for apex. Other than that, reisenjima hippos probably, or frogs in marjami if gear isnt great yet.

Meh if you expect it to be completely *** ridiculous (10,000 job points) then you won't be upset when its JUST ridiculous. (5000 job points)

Feels like there is no way in hell they haven't learned from previous mistakes with JP but they never cease to impress.

People will complain, threaten to unsubscribe.

Then 3 months later everyone will run around with augmented DREAM weapons and /yell "Ambuscade VD team up? augmented DREAM DD can I have it".

Then justify their shout with "but I got 10 tells every time I shout for augmented DREAM DD so why aim for less"

Pretty much that. A lot of pissing and moaning and no action.

Long time ago there was a meme post about how ffxi is like an abusive partner. Can't be bothered to find it. But you get the idea.

You can be certain your DREAM weapons will feel more like REAM'D when they disclose the requirements.
