Sortie has been out for over year and we are approaching a year since the release of primes. I think its time to relook at the earring system and enhance it.
Step1: Add Monthly ROEs for +1 Cases.This would give 10 +1 cases a month. +2 earrings have a 5% chance of coming from a +1. This would barely impact the rarity of +2 earrings while also giving fresh incentives for doing Sortie.
- Obj1: Open an Aurum Coffer.
- Obj2: Defeat an upstairs boss. (Rotates each month).
- Obj3-6: Defeat 10 NQ mobs. (Rotates each month)
- Obj7-10: Defeat Each Basement boss.
Step2: Add an item trade process.
- 10 Sapphries = Emp+2 Upgrade
- 10 Starstones = Emp+3 Upgrade
- 10 NQ Cases = +1 Case
- 10 +1 Cases = +2 Case
The chance of getting a +2 Earring for the job you want is exceptionally rare even by FFXI standards. The chance of getting a perfect stat +2 earring for the job you want is mathematically improbable.
These changes would make farming Sortie more tolerable for the average player and increase activity as people go after the RoEs.
This will also allow players to save Galli for Primes while still slowly upgrading alternate jobs. The average player is getting 40k Galli a run with a competent group.
