considering most NMs for weapon trials were 1+ hour respawn, gonna go out on a limb and guess they did.

They said they were looking into easing the bottlenecks for weapon trials, I just assumed they were going to lower the price of displacers, lol.

maybe that means the bugbear strongman respawn will only be 10hours instead of 20....

Or they just adjusted the chance of getting the NM, most of them were 1 hour respawns already, if they upped the chance of getting the NM significantly, you could easily get 2 in about 2 hours, that's always been possible, just unlikely.

It's almost as if the chances of the placeholder repopping as the NM is like 25% chance and like there's little or no window/respawn. They're basically giving us the empy WS for free with just a little cockblock beforehand.

Myrkr is gonna be boss with maining Attinian on SCH.

if you just want the ws unlock, the path of least resistance is to throw alittle time at WoE during jp prime for coin/dice/residue and do the new 3-step magian trials (30coin,100dice 100residue) to get a 99 WoE weap.
Theres new weapons in the chest by the moogle for the alternate path

They did adjust NM repops. Doing gun trial atm and have seen what used to be 1 hour respwan NM's repop in 10 mins. Finished both Trial 892: Moo Ouzi the Swiftblade x3 and Trial 893: Ni'Zho Bladebender x3 in less than 2 hours

That's the same as the old full NM trials to finish the wep 90-99. Did they change the requirement for the NM trial path 90-99?

the new trials only have 3 steps, theres another page of weapons that are bare level 99 weaps in the chest. They only need those 3 item requirements, theres no NM camping.

The new alternate gun magian trial starts at 3695->3696->3697 and thats it. The old one is still there and has a lower cost if you were in the middle of it or like the NM camps.

Yes. The NM trial is now 15 coins, 35 Devious Dies, and 35 Liminal Residues.

Depends if you have cash to blow. Farming the Apedemak KI can be done with a small group in a little time (few hours a night for a few days) vs ~6-10mil for an instant 99wep. You could save some cash farming the NMs but that time you might as well put twords Apedemak Horns
