how to get 150-250 clusters per ephemeral node. Money!

Good, shards/crystals/clusters are the most basic crafting component, needed in large quantities for all synths. They should be much easier to collect in bulk.

what i wouldn't sell those clusters i would use them and never have to worry about gathering them again lol.

What exploit? That is literally what that combination of skills should do and is doing.

Doubt it. Its probably supposed to give like 3-5 clusters not 30-50. Thats way too many. We'll have to wait and see what the maintenance is for but i wont be suprised if its for this.

Ghh...

It is obviously unintended and that is obviously what the maintenance has been called the fix.

It's easy to see that amount given is far to high for it to be normal.

It is an exploit in that it is unintended... The fact you feel comfortable using it because it comes from a combination of skills that arn't working like they should doesn't make it any less of one.

Why do you think that? The window for any ephemeral node is four Eorzean hours per Eorzean day. To get one to spawn, you have to clear out two patches of nodes which eats into the window. The material that can be reduced into this amount of clusters appears uncommonly: like, 1 in 5. If they were going to fix something related to this, it would be the trick that allows you to save time on the node respawn which would be deserved, but there's zero reason for them to fix the reduction yield itself.

Except I've heard people are saying that A4 is bugged and you can cheat on it.
I've heard someone saying you can resell things you buy from NPCs for more than they sell it for, thus making it a profit.

Let's not just immediately assume things based purely on our own biases.

Honestly didn't think this was a secret...

Those nodes pop about once per realtime hour, and the item that can be converted doesn't always appear every time the node does...

this may explain the emergency maintenance today...
