Latent Effects on rare/ex BC weapons

I got a couple of these rare/ex weapons with the nice 'latent effects' on them.
e.g. ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/6186

I've heard two different ways to activate the latent effect permantently.

1) Kill 500 EP+ monsters with the weapon.
2) Do 500 WSs on EP+ monsters with the weapon.

I'm wondering if anyone has a certain answer for this, and if it is the WS method. Does doing SCs like for trial weapons speed up the process as well?

Thanks. ^^

I heard many stories, but they all come down to 500WS on EP++ another source took it a step further and said that its 500WS -points-, similiar to the lv71 latent weapons (no SC / LV1 sc = 1 point , LV2 sc = 3 points , LV3 sc = 5 points). I got that from Wizzie on VN, and I trust his information.

Iwas under the impression that using a weaponskill was 1 point always. You also get 1 point for a L1 chain 2 or 3 points for a L2 chain and 4 points for a L3 chain. To get the points from the chian you have to close it so that also gives you 1 additional point (for you weaponskill). I have also heard from people in my LS that to remove the latent effect on lots of these weapons you need to do 500 points worth of chains/weaponskills.

When you finish your 500 whatever will the description change like trial weapons?

I have also heard the rumor that the trial weapon WS point system unlocks the latent effect on the rare/ex weapons from the December patch BC's.

I believe the point system is:
* 1 point for WS without skillchain
* 2 points for WS with Lv1 skillchain
* 3 points for WS with Lv2 skillchain
* 5 points for WS with Lv3 skillchain
(on EP+ mob)

I do not believe the description ever changes on the weapons; you simply see that the damage is higher or the elemental resist effects disappear.
