I think the zeni amount given is not affected with FB. --Kongolo 15:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Any range on the Zeni given for 'recommended fauna'? A Good 'interest' soul plate can get you roughly 74-76 zeni. --Fishyflop 8 Aug 2008
That whole "by the numbers" thing should remove the approx gil spent, because only a fool actually turns in imperial coins. Do Pankration for jettons, that doesnt cost gil. --Nynja 07:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think the section is needlessly discouraging to players unfamiliar with ZNM. It assumes the use of HQ camera without making a case for it when the NQ camera will work just fine for those on a budget. A single gold piece (obtainable with the Imperial Standing from one level 6+ Besieged session) will provide 30,000 to 50,000 zeni with the preferred monsters if 2-jetton items are used. - Pixymisa 08:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Pixymisa- Considering you can only trade in 10 soulplates per Vana'diel day, I don't see the need to bother using an HQ soultrapper. They are 250 times as expensive for 4 times the charges... I'm not wasting my IS on that. Neither am I wasting my time on Pankration. This section gives a grossly subjective take on the expense of ZNM, which in my experience has been virtually nothing. --Dualviols 04:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
A list of all the soul plates requested would be really good to have and see if there's a rotation to the request system. Heimdall77 15:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Requested Soul plates
I have a question: if Ryo tells you that the S.O.I is Aquans, particularly Pugils, can you turn in any Aquan Soul Plate for greater than normal Zeni, but not as much as Pugils; or will you still get the very small zeni reward since they are not from Pugils? --Gokuhan 23:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- I believe that you will get more than the very small reward, but not as much as for the specific type. As an example, when the S.O.I. was Dragons, a friend and I took pictures of Puks in Wajaom, which belong to the dragon family. Turning in the plates got the positive response from Sanraku, and about 40 or 50 zeni a plate. It was definitely different from when you hand in unrelated plates and get the negative response and only 10 or so zeni. Calif 16:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
This is a terrible page, seems like someone just thought that it would be a convenient place to rant about their poor luck with drops and how much time they wasted. Needs a full rewrite in my opinion, I'll try to tackle it soon. --Deimorz 01:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
