July Update, Union System

so, how bout that new union system? a new way to get ancient currency... think of how many more people will be walking around with relic weapons, or better yet, think of how much this is gonna upset a bunch of people because of the prices on the currencies? think it will take a deep cut?

No. I'm betting it will be a Campaign OP type thing, take 12+ people to do, and drops 6 coins per run.

Can I get Link pls? Link up.....

Thanks!!

theres the POL teaser

The way its worded is that, while taking part in a campaign battle, u just talk to the CA and join one massive union

When the battle is over you can check a treasure casket and get currency, synth mats, gear etc

fixed

Well that's ok for me.. Hell If I have to do more campaigns, Ill stay there and collect ancient beast coins and solo all of it myself. Thanks SE for making it alil easer to onatin the anicent beastcoins treasury stuff.

I'm so happy now!!!!

That's speculation. The only thing they actually name is Dynamis currency.

As people have said before, the union's idea sounds a lot like the Public Quests feature of Warhammer Online, which if you've played the game was one of the more entertaining bits of it, and the auto-mated grouping is also a welcomed feature, no more having to shout for hours to get people to help you out to have a bit of fun :D

As for ancient currency prices, I highly doubt that this is going to influence prices much as with FFXIV being announced, there seems to be quite a push for people to finish in-game goals before it's release, and a popular goal is always completing a relic. If the drop rate is significant enough to potentially cause a change to prices, it will probably be countered by more people starting upgrades as they now have an easy and possibly soloable method of funding their own relic.

I know that I'm at least considering to start upgrading using this as a way to bolster currency if its drops are reasonable, and with 7 runs a week vs the 2/3 of dynamis could work well :)

I was actually thinking the same thing when I heard of it XD

If it affects Dyna currency at all it will probaly be an increase in price. Look at what happened when Dyna fees got lowered.

More ways will be welcomed though

it seems like this might be unfair if the first person that gets to the chest gets the best treasure.

Hmmm maybe, or they could make it that you have to raid Beacudine glacier and Xarc S areas. They may add relic too which would be awesome to see. And they would prolly make you use the Union system to get these treasures.

So its prolly going to be a linkshell type event im not to sure though.
