The Doman Restoration was a good inventory/retainer clean up excuse

You do unlock a special vendor that has a few exclusive items.

But the whole point of it is not a vendor, is to have you, the player, participate in the restoration of a city, as we didn't actually do anything to restore Idyllshire or Rev Toll.

the Junkmonger sells an exclusive crafting mat to make the Wind-up Sadu minion.

the questline is also not over so there should be more stuff later. the biggest thing i hope for is unlocking Rowena vendor's in the area so i don't have to go back to Rhalgr's Reach.

But we dont even have any control over it, its just "turn in junk, watch clip." Hopefully later on that vendor sells you more stuff? I can only imagine once its complete there will be more going on but currently its pretty uninspired content. and people complained about eureka...

There was a bug where if you bought something back after having finished you wouldn't be able to continue when they started the next set of quests. However, that bug has been fixed and you should be able to sell back to them every week again.

THANK YOU :D

how was Idyllshire and Mor Dhona's development better?

because Eureka is high resource playable content that replaces a dungeon every other patch. as uninspired as this might be, it costs very little.

Because those were natural evolutions of places we already spent a lot of time in. The enclave restoration is a tiny event in a place that only exists for MSQ and said event. Enclave vs Mor Dhona/Idyllshire isn't a meaningful comparison.

the 80% increase on items sold is really good.

Buy things on the MB at below vendor value and sell them for 80% profit. It's a free ~32,000 gil a month.

On the other hand, the older cities’ developments are completely lost on new players. I arrived in both towns fully constructed and didn’t even know they had changed over time until I read about it here.

Knowing about it for the second time through the MSQ, I could see where this caused a few slightly odd statements that must have been said in the context of an earlier period in the development. Plus some odd character speech bubbles around Idyllshire (like the “no longer calling for engineers” guy) that are presumably the last in a chain of different comments that can never be seen if you weren’t there when it was changing.

Doma’s individual progression works better for keeping the story intact in future.

When the Doman Reconstruction was first announced, I had hoped it would be a separate area that we could build and set up similarly to how you would manage your in-game home. Place this stall here...put these figures here... etc. and you could design it the way you wanted, like a separate instance.

But with housing being such a strain on resources, somehow, I can see why they didn't go that route. It would've been a lot of fun though!

At least Idyllshire and More Dounuts were alive and busy with players, had vendors everywhere, was a main endgame hub. I'm still doing it because it costs me nothing to pop in once a week and unload my junk but I really see no point to it. I cant even select which part of it I want to put my efforts towards and the extremely minimal story you get is really dull, after I completed the stalls(?) i didnt even watch further cutscenes.

QUESTION TO ANYONE:

Can you tell me what you enjoy most out of the Doman restoration? What excites you about it and why do you return each week to complete the task?

(I'm asking that honestly)
