A few questions about recent Changes

Hello to everybody, I only have a few questions.

1) Now that those 4 NMs (you know who I'm talkin' about) only drops Rare/ex version, how are you supposed to get the standard version? Do you think price will drop down or raise up? Do you think they will be easier to camp now?

2) I see from the official documentation from SquareEnix that they did some "change" to EVERY chargeable item (the ones that do have "charges" inside). But what exactely? What did they change? Anybody knows?

3) Do you know if there is a way to re-charge chargeable items? I've heard there is a quest to do it, but I never found informations about it.

4) Regarding question 1... How are you supposed to get Archer's Ring now, if Stroper Chyme only drops Shikaree Ring (which is Ex, so useless to make a Sniper's Ring)


Thank you very much for your support ^^

probly BCNM, like how they added astrals to the 3 box one.
yes, the price on "old" items will rise, but only do to even less of a steady source now, but it will fall off once people realize they can camp the nm and get the new one and have a decent shot at it.


2) I see from the official documentation from SquareEnix that they did some "change" to EVERY chargeable item (the ones that do have "charges" inside). But what exactely? What did they change? Anybody knows?

they didnt change all items with charges, far from it.
most of them warp you in someway tho.
odd thing is the ones at the bottom of the list, like the contaigen shield, but that was probly a cop mission fix or something.


3) Do you know if there is a way to re-charge chargeable items? I've heard there is a quest to do it, but I never found informations about it.

no, theres not.
thats the point of them, consumable gear
(although, alot of them npc for a few thousand gil)


4) Regarding question 1... How are you supposed to get Archer's Ring now, if Stroper Chyme only drops Shikaree Ring (which is Ex, so useless to make a Sniper's Ring)

i'm assuming you mean "how do you get snipers now".
no idea.
i see the same problem happening with lizzy->wing boots.
i do see the price on sniper+1's sky rocketing, as there is less source to spam for hq with.
there might be slight chance (have to wait and see) that SE will let you craft with shik->sniper and bounding->wing, but theres the issue of the uber level leather crafters having to camp the drops.
they do this with royal jelly (its EX) so i dont see why not
