Meanwhile you could do this day 1. And SE tends to be leery letting gil sellers immediately start making money right after they got banned.

As far as the wkr.. that was more of a how it can be abused to be better than current dmg trials. That said a bunch of people no longer contributing plus 3+ npcs each could become a bit of a problem
It's a fair concern I guess, and it's always possible that they add more items that can be purchased with Sparks. In its current iteration though, it doesn't appear to be worth exploiting.

Regarding the WKR comment, I think that's actually a good reason for them to add cure trials rather than an example of something that can be abused. WKR has so many problems I feel like extra motivation to top peoples' HP can only help.
