Half-cost gear and weapon upgrades

guide · Server guide

On Vanadreams every weapon and gear upgrade costs half the usual amount: half the items, half the NM kills, and half the gil, points and currencies (beads, hallmarks, gallantry, gallimaufry, accolades, Nyzul tokens, Assault points, RP, Bayld). Odd numbers round up, so nothing that costs at least one ever becomes free. The NPCs quote the new prices.

Oseem's reforge materials: bring the materials for the step (in your main inventory) and you pay only his fee. If you are short of something, Oseem tells you what and will sell it, but dearly: his prices are set so that buying every material for one piece's whole line, from its first upgrade to the top, would come to 500,000,000 gil.

Plain shops (Gorpa's loose goods, the Odyssey segment exchange, Old Cases) keep their prices. Trials and upgrades you already started keep your progress; if you are already past the new number, the trial or rank is ready to claim.

Double end-game currency

The currencies you earn for gear come in at twice the usual amount:

- Escha: silt from kills and Reliquary chests; beads from Reliquary chests and Geas Fete NMs (50 / 100 / 250 / 500 becomes 100 / 200 / 500 / 1,000).
- Odyssey: moogle segments from kills, Wanted NMs, Agon and Gaol wins; Sheol gear RP from Gaol fights (the Moogle Amplifier's +50% stacks on top).
- Sortie: gallimaufry from kills, NMs and chests.
- Ambuscade: hallmarks and gallantry per win.
- Unity: accolades from Records of Eminence.
- Limbus: Temenos and Apollyon units (the weekly limit doubles too, to 140,000).
- Delve: Mweya plasm.
- Skirmish and Alluvion: obsidian fragments.
- Abyssea and Voidwatch: cruor.
- Nyzul Isle tokens and Assault points.
- Walk of Echoes: coins of birth, advancement, glory, decay and ruin come in double stacks.
- Omen: two Paragon cards for every five objectives.
- Geas Fete: double Astral Detritus for Oboro.

Silt and bead pouches and the spark shop's silt still give their listed amount.
