    Waste of time, and the rewards are minuscule at best. It's like fighting penance from final fantasy 10 where this is your own punishment from challenging for greater heights should you accept it.

    I'm not gonna waste my time gearing up for one boss that gives me 2 crit rate for shooting her face to death 100 times.

    Also, you only get 3 attempts per week, and if you fail those 3 for w/e reason, you have to wait until next week to even try again. that means per year, you only get 156 attempts if you play this game every day.

    if you're lucky to win against her 3 times for 34 weeks straight, then I commend you as being a mmo god.

    I can't wait to see peeps rage in the mega phones on the first week nemain comes out.

    Rewards are pretty nice. 500 cap lift is really good.
    5 crit would free you up for a good immoral->righteous swap (well, in my case anyway)

    Guess they changed it then. However, I'm still going to pass on this raid because barely anyone can host on West... if at all.

    If the boss can't kill you, surely the lag will at some point.

    I have to agree with Ikarsu. While the +5 crit and 500 cap lift is very good, doing Neamhain with the 'requirements' pretty much means I won't get much out of it if I fulfilled those requirements in the first place. If one reaches those requirements, that means you can do the hardest raid in the game. And that means you can do everything in the game. For some players, that means you are finished with gearing the character you wanted to make Neamhain-ready. It's time to move onto the next character.

    Sure, it allows one to be more flexible in how they wish to approach their stat-building, but by then, you don't need to really change anything if you can do the raid of all raids. You could say my concern is that there's nowhere else to utilize all those stats you built up to tackle something with a justifiable reward. It's back to waiting and seeing for bigger fish to fry.

    What I just discussed does reveal one good point though. Neamhain does provide an arbitrary goal for players to continue gearing up to that point. A good spot where one could feel ready to take on anything.

    Unless they release Hero S2/S3/Niflheim later after Neamhain's time in the spotlight (or something even harder), I don't see myself doing this raid on my 11 characters for the rewards unless I was under those requirements.

    If I manage to rebuild my twin swords before the time comes you can be certain I'm making that raid my slave.

    A lot of time it's cheaper to just buy them preinfused. Not an available option generally for the kitty stuff due to bind on equip, but the blue brooch should be easier to roll crit on due to it being an already existing stat (roll +def twice in a row on my way, of course).
    Ya, i bought one when they were new, and it got a +2 crit on its 2nd or 3rd infuse. Same thing for the new earrings that came out, except those took me 23 </3 VIDEK

    You aren't allowed to start complaining about videk till you are at least >100 stones for a wanted stat... my worse run was over 250 and I know folks that have had worse.

    The stats are nice. I just doubt I will ever make it to 100 runs. (And I guess when I do the game will make it so those new stats are meh by then.)

    You know... I really want to but... By the time this raid comes out I doubt there will be anyone to run it with.( with proper stats)

    Most of my geared friends have already left this game and pugging is completely out of the question.

    Besides those points the biggest turn off is the 3x a week(win or lose?). I'm so sick and tired of these restrictions. There's not enough worthwhile content in the game as is... give us a break -_-..

    250 stones is nothing :p I fed videk over 2500 blue stones and didn't get +crit infusion once on ring/belt/earrings; (11x negative crit infusions though). That scammer just took 50 intermediate stones this week without giving boots +def infusion, (and ofc, 5x -def infusions).

    The stats are nice but.. I wonder how long it'll take to actually get it. From what I understand, it is impossible for a single player to deal anywhere near enough damage to solo. Getting a well geared and skilled party for 100 runs might be very difficult.

    On the bright side, if that chance scroll buff comes before this raid get released, then I can have 140 crit before it starts without re-scrolling armor/accessories; just gotta finish the last 13 ein lacher battles to pach up bal loss.

    They should release an outfitter version of Neamhain's armor. I'd buy it in an instant for my Arisha. I wouldn't even care if it was Gachapon.

    It looks like an inner armor but I could be wrong.

    Would do it as an actual challenge, which means not to see everyone facerolling it with all capped stats.

    By making one hell a lot of element stones over a very long time. Last year, I usually make about 400 stones a week; sell 200 to pay for material costs, feed other 200 to videk. Repeat for a couple months.. and you end up at my place.. of wanting to hang, draw, and quarter that scammer. This cannot be done nowdays anymore, as too many people have caught on to this, and mats now cost far more.

    -------------

    Neamhain outfit looks like an outfit to me, it kinda cover way too much skin to be an inner.

    I assume that the outfit is incomplete at the moment. It is missing a lot of components.
