    Request: All Jobs Feet with "Sortie: Movement Speed+25%"

    Hi SE,
    I'm noticing that me and my friends are running at different speeds in Sortie. Would it be possible to create an All Jobs Movement Speed+25% item in Sortie only?

    I personally would like this item to be a Synergy Recipe because it's fun to make things. Perhaps the HQ version of these feet could remove the "Sortie" purchase or perhaps trade them to Ruspix to remove the "Sortie:" zone restriction?

    Yes, I know there is the Adoulin quest-line ring which offers Movement Speed+18%, but I play many jobs so I can't afford to keep changing my ring. (Also, I'm very happy with Weatherspoon Ring +1).

    Please consider it. Thank you.

    There are also other movement speed increasing effects available as well depending on party composition. IDK, I don't really think this is a huge issue, and it's worth noting that Sortie contains more things than the player can do in its time limit, and so providing a signficant movement speed increase that everyone can use may have balance implications that would keep them from implementing it. I'm not saying it's a bad thing (It isn't, from the player perspective ), but it potentially means higher galimuffin totals per run and they probably don't want players to earn them faster than they do now, so I think it's unlikely that they would make this sort of change. I could be wrong, of course. But given that we probably aren't going to get another big new battle content (at least, not anytime soon), they want this to last as long as possible. And that means not making galimuffin farming faster.

    I'll give t his a like because I and I'm pretty sure anyone else would like any movement speed increase in any sort of conditions. But because this could potentially increase farming speed, realistically I think it's a non-starter for SE.

    I appreciate the feedback, but I strongly suspect SE will come back to Sortie (eventually) and add:

    1.) Crafting materials / recipes
    2.) A "Sortie: " equipment Bonus to movement speed (similar to Assault/Salvage: style bonuses)
    3.) A tangible gil-sink.

    Or at the very least, I sincerely hope this to be the case.

    Though I do have my doubts about a movement item, 'tis plain that Sortie is the big endgame thing now. Content wise, it seems feature-complete but down the road they will probably ease up on the grind late on. Honestly though I expect (and hope they'll dial back master levels a bit or at least start having events or items that buff them, because from what I can see, most people think the current exemplar points situation is too extreme, which is why some people are willing to pay others to do the work for them- becuase it's just too damn long. I know at least a couple people who have given up because of it.

    I don't think sortie *needs* to be a gil sink but you're honestly probably right that it will happen in some form.
