Last night the shell I'm in did Dynamis-Windurst and gained a total of 85 whiteshells. At current Migardsormr rates, that works out to just under 700,000 gil in currency. We're a mature shell and most of the members don't need the AF from the starting cities.
I would like to suggest that each zone's Mega-Boss automatically drop a single 100 currency appropriate to the zone in addition to it's normal random drops. This would allow the current system of removing 1,000,000 gil from circulation in return for dynamis participation to remain, but ensure that dynamis remains a fiscally feasible activity for new and experienced participants alike. It may have the negative side effect of slightly increasing the ease of gaining relic weapons. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-30-2007, 08:46 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Read my blog Posts: 979 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 92x in 64 Posts Gil: 6,050 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 6,050 Donate | Re: Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted?

I'd think the idea is just to focus for dynamis aspect alone though. Which I'm all here for. Considering, from the one, one half year I've spent there, I only seen 2 of the 100 currency dropped. Once in bastok, another in windy. Also, a strange thing I've noticed on relics, smn is really popular drop for a shell with a high majority of drgs o.O | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-30-2007, 09:42 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Winston,GA Posts: 667 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 42 Thanked 23x in 21 Posts Gil: 848 Bank: 20,263 Total Gil: 21,111 Donate | Re: Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted?

Once I had a dynamis run with 3 100 bill currency drop. Of course we didnt get too much AF2 drops. Good for the LS sponsored relic weapon holders, bad for the people waiting for af drops. Which means more people miserable as usual.
How about just making the named bosses in dynamis at least drop one af? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-30-2007, 10:24 AM | #8 (permalink) | | Alone Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Boston Posts: 3,145 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 251 Thanked 295x in 206 Posts Gil: 23,550 Bank: 21,106 Total Gil: 44,656 Donate | Re: Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted? could definatly go for the af but we all know s-e will just have them drop bst and laugh at us. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-30-2007, 10:25 AM | #9 (permalink) | | SOS Brigade Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: None of your damn business Posts: 4,133 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 925 Thanked 387x in 271 Posts Gil: 145,121 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 145,121 Donate | Re: Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted? | Quote: | | rmts on ifrit do dynamis now... leave the drop rate how it is ill cry if i see a rmt in full koga or wyrm before i have it. |
Meh, they're in it primarily for the currency to sell anyway. Dynamis is horribly flawed and should be changed. Though I'm sure it won't happen, it would be great if everyone simply stopped doing it altogether in protest over the ludicrously low drop rates.
There's a fine line between challenge and pointless money-grubbing time sink, and SE has crossed it with both feet. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-30-2007, 10:29 AM | #10 (permalink) | | Atheist in a foxhole.

I've seen Jeuno runs with all three ancient currencies drop, Bastok runs with double 100 Byne Bill results... it's just luck of the draw, and it really should stay that way. Relic weapons should be hard as hell to obtain--I just wish their stats(all great, mind you), weren't so... generic.
Relic armor, on the other hand, is a whole different ball of snot. I fail to see how it fits going from readily available Artifact armor to nigh impossible Relic armor. I believe all JSEs(Relic as well as Artifact) should be far more accessible than Relic weapons, and far more accessible than they currently are.  BurningPanther is DEAD. Long live Sunrider.

There's a fine line between challenge and pointless money-grubbing time sink, and SE has crossed it with both feet. | My beef with the current Dynamis system isn't the time and gil sink... CoP is as bad. My beef with Dynamis(and I've said this before), is scheduling. A million people stumbling all over each other to get into the same four zones, 64 man-limitation, for three hours at a time. That is where S-E screwed up horrendously, and where I still have an axe to grind.  BurningPanther is DEAD. Long live Sunrider.
