Suggestion: Increase regeneration rate for imprimaturs

[Zenion]

It would probably be a big rewrite, so this is probably asking a bit much, but all the key items grant a 90 minute reduction in imprimatur regeneration time, right? And there are 6 coalitions with 7 total ranks to gain in each, for 42 coalition rank increases total. What if each rank gained reduced imprimatur regeneration time by 150 seconds, up to 36/42 completed (so, Magnate in all coalitions, or Legend in five and Probationer in the sixth, or a few combinations in between.) The same 5400 second reduction, but it tracks progress a little more intuitively and actually helps players who still have a reason to do their assignments.

Maybe imprimatur storage could be tied to the number of coalitions a character has reached Legend standing with, with the first three coalitions increasing the maximum by 1 each until the current maximum of 18 stored.

This would mean taking away the bonuses currently tied to the shovel and mattock cordon key items, but that's okay; why don't we use them for a different sort of progression that would make them significantly more valuable to players: have the bronze shovel and mattock cordons increase Ionis duration by 1 hour each, silver shovel and mattock cordons increase it by 2 hours each, and gold shovel cordon increases it by 3 hours, for a final total duration of 12 hours. Sort of a parallel to how medals work for Sigil, and a huge quality of life improvement people have asked for in the past, which would give players who don't need Ygnas or an Idris or Epeolatry a reason to care about coalition assignments.

Again, this is probably too much to hope for, it would require some rewrites to things I imagine, but why not dream a little.

Felt like the intentional design for getting Ygnas is literally do all quests in SoA (& yea, the max ranking thingie also for unlocking quests which still counts), mainly the mini-series that serves as to explain plotholes from main story, SoA itself felt sorta confusing to digest, unlike other expansions, plus betting many players skipped side quests on older expansions & probably still never done them, sadly mine included, tho still tried if possible. At least the latest job quests (RUN & GEO) doesn't count toward these.


Besides, if doing on alts, maybe can skip Ygnas & use other healer trusts, especially Monbe? Unless Ygnas has a very special unique traits that deems necessary to unlock? At least I kinda didn't use Ygnas that often.

Heh, would be nice changes indeed!

Monberaux is enough for a lot of things, yeah, but not really for things that need bigger cures at times too, and that one also takes quite a while to get, just waiting for time to pass mostly (not a fan of how that was implemented either).

I tend to use both, Monberaux and Ygnas a lot when "soloing" something like Ghatjot and similar as a samurai. Makes things much safe.

Yoran-Oran (UC) just about works in place of Ygnas, but it's not Ygnas. :]

And yeah, of course there are also all those quests that one needs to complete too, but at least they're not that timely-gated.

Thx 4 insight. At least u gave me kinda insight as to switch unity since mine is Yoran & guess Ygnas kinda under-utilize on my end. Then again, it would be pita if switching to more popular unity trusts with much more clogged unity chats. ^^;


And sorry, I do forgot the lengthy wait 2 get Monbe especially when on alts, probably more/less as lengthy as unlocking Ygnas. Just hoping other healer trusts weren't as bad as Monbe/Ygnas before unlocking them, especially how pita it is to grind Mog Island as part of it. ^^;

Yeah, forgot to mention that not relying on the other healers from Unity also frees up Sylvie, which can be nice (though indeed, the chat can diffcult to get into at times).
