Currently, from my findings, the best way to SB is held at just a few spots in Eorzea. Given the new need for Tier IV materias, I feel like more Spirit Binding spots should be available to us, so that people are not fighting over them, or entering Brayflox in full SB gear.

Personally, I think it would be faster to get some FC mates and jump into a Prae/Castrum run in full SB gear. Dungeon runs are way faster if you get the party together for it.

Ummmmmm... there's a really obvious place: Turn 3 of First Coil
Was always the best place to SB gear. It can be completed in ilvl70 and definitely less if you're being carried by people in i90+. SB party time. Also you'll need materia of all levels. Not just tier IV. -
06-06-2014, 05:12 AMmelisandeI guess you didn't read my post. "Within the realm of Eorzea," not 8 man dungeons that would be somewhat hard to form. Currently the places within Eorzea that are not in DF are capable of being done with just 2 people. I am asking for more spots within just the realm itself.Quote:

I never have a problem finding a spot to spirit bond in the open world. I usually stick to the beastmen strongholds, or even the mobs outside CM/Cape Westwind. Yes the mobs take a tiny bit longer to kill, but it beats fighting over boars at Urth's Gift, which ends up taking much longer with more than one person/group there, which is 90% of the time.

06-06-2014, 05:20 AMgivemeraptorsShouldn't be too hard if you put a something in PF. Loads of people will be out SB. Otherwise, there are already plenty of high level FATES to SB on, especially in Northern Thanalan. If you want to SB equipment ilvl70 or above super fast, it's going to be dungeons, Coil or CT. The last thing we need is more spots for bots to camp.Quote:

Perhaps a good solution would be a dungeon in DF solely meant for SB (liek Turn 3 but maybe just 4 man.) However you dice it in this game, bots will always be here, unless the Special Task Force steps up their game, and it absolutely should not negatively impact legitimate players looking for effective ways to SB.Quote:

Wouldn't it be possible to simply gehter or craft until they are sb'ed? Iremember that while fishing it goes really fast.

Thinking about it, i suppose it would be rather easy to form a party of 4 i55 SB minded individuals for bray. That would work indeed, but like i said i would like more to be outside of the DF.

06-06-2014, 06:09 AMWelsper59It's actually a rather slow task, and often an expensive one. Individual shards may not cost a whole lot (50-100gil per), but when synths take 3-6 per, it adds up a lot. So your end profit isn't exactly the greatest for the time you spend on it. You also have to include repair costs, which surprisingly adds up faster crafting than combat. Gathering is just dead slow from my experience. If your primary goal is materia gains, you're better off with combat.Quote:
