I am getting pissed.
The bank part time job is absurd. You've got slim chances of completing it because apparently Mabinogi is so fun that at least 50% of the people online are AFK. The players that are actually actively playing are either in the middle of a dungeon/shadow mission, a mindless bot or a total nub. Very rarely have I encountered a player that was even semi-reasonable. I just failed a PTJ because I had to sit outside of stonehenge while a player inside ran Shadow Wizard Basic. Once they finished, they apparently had no inventory space and I had to chase them all the way to the bank because they wouldn't make the trade.
The mini-game is difficult. Once you obtain a fragment of falias and a spark crystal you have to gather a party of decent players. If you can't quickly dispatch a wave within around 10 seconds, the mobs bolt towards the altar and you lose control of the minigame. Often times, the Aonbahhars fail to spawn and you lose because of lag. 25% of the time you get an auto-win. I've yet to see an auto-win.
:T_T:
After completing the minigame, the party leader is awarded a random artifact while everyone else has a 50% shot. There's 13 different ideals and most of them are largely useless. I've got four yellow javelins stuck in one of my pets.
If that wasn't enough, you have to restore the artifacts using crystals dropped from the Aonbhhars. The pure crystals have a 30% succeess rate. The pure red crystals have a 50% success rate.
After all of that hard work, you finally receive a restored ideal. Of course, there are multiple grades of ideals. The chance of obtaining an S-Grade wave sweeper is around 1.5%.
Not worth it. I'm fed up.

Someone got a perfect one and sold it for over 10m on Tarlach. This was the first week of G12.

The success rates are just infinitely low, all the way from actually being able to complete the part time job up to restoring the artifact with a high grade.
I've only seen three Wave Sweepers in Alexina... A low grade one worn by a popular elf in our server, and two that me and my friend failed to restore :I
Haven't seen any at housing, ads or shops ever since G12 came out, either. B>Wave Sweepers ;-;

Maybe Mari's different. :[
I've done that bank job a few times too but I guess I've just been lucky, I've been able to do it 5 times so far, failed 2 times cuz of afk people. xD
But I hope I'm the kind of person who'd drop everything and rush to the deliverer if I ever had a package. :P

I hear the first week a human character got a grade S wave sweeper, can't remember her name though.

I got an auto-win last night and got...not a wave sweeper, but the one that increases the duration your demigod time, which is better I think. I mean, longer demigod > faster running speed. But I'm just going to sell it because 30% is not worth restoring for me and I wouldn't even use it.

But the running speed works outside of demigod too.
Doesn't it?

As far as I know, Wave Sweeper has no restrictions of requiring Demigod enabled or Brionac equipped to function, which is why they are so sought after.
There are also a video out there demonstrating the faster running speed (2% in that case) and demigod was not in use during the recording, IIRC.

Huh... doesn't it say right on it that it's only activated during demi?

Oh, I thought it was during demigod.
I dunno. Still not really worth spending money on in my opinion.

According to wiki, it's the only treasure that doesn't have any restrictions listed... I think Mabidata also had a thread about the treasures, or possibly a link to the video I mentioned but it's down at the moment so I can't double-check.

wave sweeper run speed works outside demigod, I run slightly faster than a giant without wave sweeper.
