March 2019 Version Update
It'll include pulse weapons, but likely take 2-5 months of completing the objective. Fine for casuals who aren't in a rush and don't mind being behind, but endgamers will still need to farm Zitah T3.
IF they make it "kill something X times for a pulse cell"
Then that's all that matters. Millions of mules go. IF they make it "kill something x times, complete 5 times = Borealis" THEN it'll take months. Either way, price comes back to "not *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE" and everyone is happy.

Kill Aello 100 times for one pulse cell.
That is what I was thinking it gives them a a reason for us to do VW when the light campaign is not on.
Oh hey you guys should go do VW 100 times a month. Won't be pulse cells or they wouldn't have bothered making points, they'd just reward a cell each time and let it add up. Will be completed r/ex weapons to avoid AH influence, most likely.
Perfect opportunity to do something neat like 'Kill ou 10x' as a monthly, with 5 repetitions worth an omen body. But, they won't.

In the meantime, your new RoE points can be spent on Treant Bulbs" Just tell me how many Treant Bulbs I can get...and how !

But, they won't. ...Yeah... but... they're also really stupid. So... pulse cells still work. Number one priority is give people things to sell. It's in the rule book for MMO. If you can't sell something from it, they won't do it. You know what would be a really good one! "wear T3 crafting shield for X time and receive ~5000 crafting spirit" Not a GREAT solution to the sphere bot army, but a nice one for "progress" Fenrir.Richybear said: » It's like Gobsdfgbsdblox or whatever Merit Pt storer! Only in RoE form! edit: And it's not as if I'm complaining. It's just there's 2 options for SE, and both lead to whining. Either things are too easy, and people whine they capped out in 5 minutes, or it's too hard, and people whine that they didn't cap out in 5 minutes. Actually, it could very well be a source of Potpourri points for completing the new ROEs to supplement trips to the gobbie. XD can we get something new that allows us to spend cruor for good things?

Quote: Next up are job adjustments. For April we’ve got some changes to ranger job abilities, as well as minor refinements to Dia, Bio, and Light and Dark Shot. We hope that these spells and abilities will once again be brought front and center. Interesting.

Cumulative RoEs for Omen incoming!
Defeat Kei 50 times: Ammurapi Shield Defeat Kei 250 times: Shamash Robe repeat for all other bosses, and I'm probably being a bit generous on the totals needed for bodies^^

To logical. Never happen. Should happen. Would actually care enough to do Omen. But it wont.
It will only work for pulse weapons because it's 10 year old content (2011/2012) and they did something really stupid by taking them off the "trophy" list and putting them in the "YOU NEED IT" list.

Damn. Yeah, I'm definitely hatin' the fact that your point is right on in terms of what they consider "content revival". Swarts in their head should clearly be more than enough to keep us doing Omen willingly. Yup, Detrietus will keep people farming Omen literally forever. No point in ever improving drop rates when you're already conned into it for life.
And then if it ever slows down, they'll just put moon-items into new synths. over and over and over.

Bahamut.Negan said: » Dark Shot will increase damage of next Leaden Salute by 100% :P On a serious note, I'm almost sure that dark shot and light shot will "take effect" all the time after update and it will be possible to use empy feet to boost both light and dark damage, like it was possible for other elements. So with amount of CORs in Dynamis, it's gonna be +25% Leaden damage up whole time on boss and NMs :P it only lasts 1 hit, 1 dark shot = 1 boosted leaden salute, not all of them for 30 seconds or whatever.
Not that leaden doesnt already do 100k but thats just what the game needs, another *** cor buff.
Sylph.Ticktick said: » it only lasts 1 hit, 1 dark shot = 1 boosted leaden salute, not all of them for 30 seconds or whatever. They'll use 12 cors. Every single leaden will get boosted. 4 per party. QD x 8 > RD QD x8 > RD QD x8 > RD QD x8 > RD QD x8 > WC > infinity I'd like to propose that we give full time Mighty Strikes, Brazen Rush, and Hundred Fists to all melee except COR. Just to level the playing field.

Asura.Eiryl said: » See, it really doesn't matter in the slightest how it's supposed to work, only how the people make it work, or in this case, no longer do. Let's open a can of worms; SMN isn't broken. If you're in an established group and you already had no issues doing aeonics, you just want to speed it up, totally reasonable. Nothing broken with that. It's like fast forward on new game plus. For funsies. What makes it broken is the people straight up refuse to do anything else. for the hundred reasons we all already know. So while it's not broken at all, it's 100% completely broken at the same time. I think most would complain that it lowered the floor so much that even players that had no useful jobs, and very little understanding of the game could just lvl SMN, get BP gear, get COR buffs, drop a bubble, Flow it up, and blow it up... which oversimplified the game. Was just parties that killed T4's with no issues, standing in the background spamming JA's looking like:  while their pets do all the work
