I have, plenty of times, with retainers that are well geared to bring back the more top tier loot and even though there are less fish, its still mostly just meh.Quote:

I have 8 retainers, I can send them all out for quick ventures multiple times a day and get maybe 1 good thing every few days, that sells for maybe a few hundred thousand, or I can send all 8 out for worthwhile items I actually need or can make real gil with.
We are in a topsoil crisis

10-26-2017, 04:56 AMAbelfeiI have different experiences. I have made 150 million in last 3 months, and my 8 retainers are 70-80 % of that income from items brought back via quick explorations. Annnnd I only send out 5 on quicks, cause I am still leveling other 3. Probably send 5 out 5 times a day. I will say now since the patch, that the items are different sometimes and the selling patterns have changed.Quote:

I am honestly baffled that ARR nodes are still on 24 hour rotations while HW and SB are both on the new 12 hour standard.

10-26-2017, 05:08 AMAbelfeiOMG it helps so much. What I like to do as well is crash WT trials in PF, even if I don't need it for WT. There are tons of 1st time bonuses out there that will only take 1 minute to complete unsynced!!! You can get the G3 Shroud as well, it's just a different unidentifiable item.Quote:

Gathering is free, just ensure that you are available at the node spawn times & go get the soil. That's what we've done so far & it worked.

Whats the problem with just gathering it? :o
It might take a while, but the plants also need some days to grow what should be enough time to have your next topsoils ready.
