Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted?
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.

There is already like four threads about the game's deflation... which is this about. Really doesn't need it's own question.

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

But, whats the point in it then? Is SE trying to make it known that dynamis investments will never pay off?..... *Looks to his Relic Maul and Relic Blade on his Hume F Manniquien collecting dust.....*

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?

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.

Re: Willl the rewards of Dynamis be adjusted?
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.

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.

Haha, same here. Best ever was a Bastok run just after a server maintenance. 3-4 100 Bills, and, let's just say... everyone recieved a reason to level DRK and RDM that day... =P

Edit: sorry, double post. Where's my option to delete this?
