Please increase the maximum amount of Gallimaufry we can obtain from 100k

regarding requirement for prime weapons for TVR, how accessible is that for fresh players? I know that seasoned players have easier way to swim on their gallimaufry, though I assume fresh players would struggle much more especially when they only have starter endgame gears.


Also, does TVR would also requires further upgrades for those prime weapons?


Edit:

just read the recent version update, & it even says requiring stage 2 upgrade while the previous version update only up to stage 1, hence answered latter question. First question still applies though...

[Dragoy]

It was fun to continue The Voracious Resurgence story again, but I have to say I do not like the Prime Weapon requirement.

Well, the weapon requirement itself is fun, but the requirements to make and upgrade one is not, especially when going through the story with a friend who already has enough resources to do it (aside from the other required item, for the time being).

Some spoilers regarding Sortie will follow.

I had done Sortie only once before, exploring the place alone, and after a few more runs I am at a bit over 7k with 20k being the requirement to progress. I have no idea how long it will take to get the Eikondrite, which I guess comes from the bosses which quite literally mow through alter egos, so going for those solo is probably not feasible for most players (of course I don't imagine that it is intended to be).

Assuming I can get the Eikondrite from the chests or other enemies that are not the bosses, and that it does not take weeks, I guess it won't be too bad in the end, but still I feel the block to be a bit harsh, and that the amount of Gallimaufry required could be a lot lower.

I want to explore Sortie by myself at least a little more before I look at any spoilers, or join groups that already know everything about it, so the fact that this halts the progress for me and a friend going through the story is indeed not fun.

Edit 2023-01-24: After having done some more runs, I did indeed find some Eikondrite from the chests, and a Sapphire as well, which was a nice surprise. This means that upgrading my Empyrean equipment to +2 for one job might not take at least 40 days after all (+3 still might take around 300 days though...).

I also managed to beat one of the bosses, Ghatjot, as a samurai with only alter egos in the party. No loot of course, which was no surprise with my luck. In fact I don't seem to get things from the boxes either, except for that one time when I had someone with...

In any case, as I suspected, in the end it was not too bad all in all, at least for me, but I still feel it can be a bit of a rough blocker for something needed for the story...

Thank you!

regarding requirement for prime weapons for TVR, how accessible is that for fresh players? I know that seasoned players have easier way to swim on their gallimaufry, though I assume fresh players would struggle much more especially when they only have starter endgame gears.

I've done Sortie three times now I believe, as a master level 16 samurai with my equipment being a mix of Ambuscade +2, Artifact +2/+3, Mythic weapon (rank 13), and the likes, and I'm at little over 7000 now.

Assuming the other item required can be obtained via other means than, say, the bosses, it might not be too bad for me in the end, but I definitely feel it's a bit of a rough of a blocker for someone who has never joined groups doing Sortie, or for some reason does not want to do so.

I still use a bunch of the time into exploring the place, and certainly am not getting as much of Gallimaufry per run as I could since I want to learn more about the event by myself before looking at spoilers and such.


Edit 2023-01-24: Added a little bit info to the spoiler part.

Yea, think I also have around 7k by the time I'm out from last return campaign, think I'm even lucky enough to score an Eikondrite joining random Sortie partie, tho I got locked by a gate since apparently only applies to each player that does unlocked them in advance.

My LS master also advice me to spend at least 1 run just to unlock all gates for future runs with this video:

Unfortunately haven't got enough time to properly do those, hoping I would by next return campaign & then hoping to score another group run to ease those gally farms.


Anyways... thx for insight.

It's been four SIXTY hours. Fix San d'Oria. How about you start moving with the tiniest amount of urgency.

SIXTY HOURS to fix TWO files.

[Sp1cyryan]

It's been four 10 hours. Fix San d'Oria. How about you start moving with the tiniest amount of urgency.

When you put it like that. I hope they take even longer to fix it. How about acting with a bit of decency towards the staff?

[Darksia]

you're not even staff. Nor are your not a gm either. But yes the delivery could have been nicer i do agree with that part

This thread is for everyone to discuss the digest. Everyone.

Please fix the relic-mythics-empyreans-aeonics pld and brd are still stuck at 99 while the rest are at 119 and oversight on relics

There is nothing to fix. These item slots are not item level gear slots. PLD has access to the relic sword and BRD access to the relic dagger, which have item levels.

Would just add some skill to them, like with the prime shield. Instruments don't really need it though. Shield block calculations do though and that is why it is important.
