I was just killing crabs in Vunkeri Inlet, and was getting credit for 5 kills by killing just 1 crab in double lighting weather. There were 2 elementals floating around. I'm pretty sure this is diffent because before update i know I killed rabbits in double ice weather, and only got credit for 1 kill.

Yes it does seem SE have changed the way objectives are counted in Magian Trials, a very sweet addition indeed.

It's 1 kill during the day of the week, 5 for during weather.

Now if they just added a bit more fire weather to the respective zones, the world would be awesome again.

I dunno. it distinctly has the "Too good to be true" feel to it. I'd get as many trials done as possible before they correct it. No way they wanted you to be able to complete a 50 kill trials in < 10 kills.

I've done 5 full trials tonight alone...

Eh those starting trials are meant to be quick and easy. The later trials will last a lot longer. Just wait til you hit the level 80+ trials. Things will pick up and it'll take a lot longer to complete.

No offense but if you haven't done the spider or slime trial for the staffs then you have no idea what agony is..

This is literally quintupling my productivity. I sure hope it's intended but i highly doubt it.

I disagree with you tbh as blm its not that bad to do weather ones at all I start by aga3 mobs get them to 5% sleepga1 >> hunt another take it down low sleepga2 the whole lot >> rest >> wen they wake and I got mp >> sleepga1 >> hunt another get it down >> add to the pack sleepga2 etc.
Staff trials do suck no doubt about it but the weather coming and going Id say has its benefits being mage over melee. As soon as that weather does pop bam you got 10+ kills done in 1 aga.

I traded mine, but the next trial just showed the same ursine claws, with just a lower delay, same dmg, and no other stats.
I didn't accept the trial, and I didn't bother to check the conditions because the reward seemed meh

Exactly what I anticipated and told Tiger lower delay no change to the 0dmg, will/does this change the 5 hit build at all? Is the question.

My guess is no, the only thing that would affect is regular H2H, which just made me think of somethin...
SKILLUPS!!!!! I'm gonna use my ursine w/ regular h2h for "mad skeelz" till h2h is capped again haha

I will say that this is made of win. I'm doing multiple axes also, and I'm getting stuff like 150 diremite, with my next trial being 150 vermin. I just had the same thing bombs then arcana. Thank you SE, you've done me well. I can easily finish an entire axe from 75 - 85 in 2-3 days, and this makes life *** awesome.

Thanks to this I finished 400 malboros during wind weather for my evasion daggers in a couple hours. I only wish SE would do something similar for the non-weather trials. Maybe they could add that if you kill an NM of the current trial's family it counts for 50 kills XD
