Sortie RoE should be repeatable, monthly.

Well, if I switch servers, I'll lose all the people in the linkshell I have on Sylph. I usually solo Sortie but only getting 5-6k per run so selling all the stones for gallimaufry would be a great help. If only I can get to Prime Weapon Stage 3, that would be something at least.

In general, us lot which are now pretty high up are now in our 30s/40s & we no longer have any time for this game. I pop on to do daily ROE quests at & that's bout it so anything to speed it up a bit would be useful. Those who want constantly grind stuff like Sortie, they can do still.

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 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.
