    Grouping up depends on what your server is like, who is around & how capable the leader is in doing a decent Sortie run to get any decent amount of galli in quick time. As I mentioned, I'm UK so 6 to 8 hours behind USA so getting into groups can be difficult. I also expect you're way high up with master lvl 50 & prime weapon stage 5 already by being in groups often. Have you tried soloing it? due to no-one being around & you simply don't have time to wait for the others to form a party at 1am.

    In terms of drops situation, I'm still waiting on SE to allow us to trade in our eikondrites, starstones, etc in for galli as I'm getting stacks of them for no reason. It's like I can get my empy armour to +2 for all jobs twice over. The +1/+2 earring drops is so random it's like AMAN trove. You just have to get lucky as there's no guarantee you'll get an +2 earring for the job you want.

    I am also waiting for something additional to be done with the stones, but let's be honest here... It's probably not going to happen, and if it does the conversion rate will most likely be high considering the how plentiful the stone "drites" drop. One can dream!

    Have you considered switching servers? Not certain how your server is, but if their isn't enough activity to form groups I would recommend considering it. Bismarck has a decent population, not enough to feel overcrowded but can still make a shout group if necessary.

    Rather then relying on someone else to lead a group, could take the dive into leading your own also. Not for everyone, but some people really enjoy that kind of thing. Kinda reminds me of the old school leveling parties. After "Seeking party" for untold hours on a DD job, I found its more consistent to start my own party rather then waiting for an invite for hours on end, that I may not even get!

    I have 1 ML 50. I have a Stage 4 and other stages of weapons. I solo'd, duo'd, or trio'd it for the first 6 months it was out and got my first stage 3 before the end of the year. I took a 2 month break. I came back to find some of my friends had returned and I built a SCH from scratch so we could try to find 6 people consistently. Since then I have built an entirely different prime weapon to stage 4 and I would not voluntarily go back to soloing because that means I would never get a stage 5 done, if that's even my goal.

    When I solo'd I would do A+E boss and the easy objectives like minibosses for close to 20k galli in like 30-40 minutes. I would then leave because I knew I was going waste the next 20+ minutes getting nothing done compared to what I had already done and I would rather just do something else with my time. Even just doing C boss which was easy, just wasn't lucrative since it didn't turn into doing G boss.

    I think everyone would love to turn in the various stones for some kind of credit or griefing system. But the reality is we just got a guaranteed +2 that only guarantees that it will be +2. I assume that's because someone finally went, wow look at all these people who have stage 4s and 5s and don't have a single +2 earring after a year! How unlucky!

    Improving quality of life doesn't seem to be a pressing priority for Sortie and I don't see them ever making the mesodrites obtainable elsewhere, so grouping is either happening or you won't get to a stage 5, regardless of galli changes.
