So I got the IS motorcycle and am island level 10.... Now what?

It's been what? A month since IS released? Well, the grinding only took me a few weeks and I wasn't even going hard at it. Everything is max level, the animals I have are being tended to by mammets along with the farm and I am getting mats back from the granary and am scheduled out the ass for item production and have bought the bike... What now?

I mean I could gather some extra stuff that my mammets aren't collecting for other crafts but, oh wait, there is nothing else of worth for me to buy. Aside from the bike, maybe the veggie mounts and the suspiciously placed hairstyles which have nothing to do with IS and seem like they were just shoved in it and should just be buyable at the Gold Saucer, there is nothing for me to buy. Everything we craft is sellable only so it's not like I can get special furniture for my actual house. the cowries aren't convertible to gil either... Basically the only thing you can do is idle there but, I have a house. And most people without one will just idle in Limsa.

Why was this a thing? :confused:

congrats, you finished your island! off to next content now, bozja or eusomething etc

I feel like people only say these things about casual content, which is funny.

"Well, I already cleared savage and got my BiS. What else is there to do, other than grind out more gear I won't use?"

"I already finished the PvP season rewards. What else is there to do but grind out wolf marks for no reason?"

You can apply this mindset to any content in the game.

I think Yoshida once again underestimated the game's own playerbase. You really werent supposed to grind it out but the idea is that they'll be updating IS within the content patch cycle so you spread out your time with it accordingly.

This is why I havent worked on mines yet at all. Ive been busy doing other things and catch up since I knew the incentive to get max level wasnt going to be worth it from launch since there wouldnt be much content to it until it gets improved and expanded.

Yes, however, they are constantly adding new savages and raids. raids also have a lock-out and to get full sets requires at least a month or two never mind savage. And content like Eureka lasts months. MONTHS. Not a few weeks of casual play, I spent months in Eureka and it felt like playing a different game from the element board to the unique skills, the wide open locales full of rewarding bosses, and relic weapon stuff. Now look at IS, everything you can do in it you can also do in the rest of the game for better ROI. Whether it's crafting or gathering. Only thing unique to it really is the animal thing but that is a few clicks and done.

People had Eureka weapons in the first couple days. People will find a way to grind out any content that isn't time gated.

I sank some hours into it but I didn't grind it out. Good content should allow for hours of sink time like Eureka much like the gathering and crafting in the actual main game which is more rewarding and has the same mechanics.

I have the motorcycle as well, it will be about 2 more months until I unlock everything, and then hopefully, there is more content. If not, no biggie, there's lots of things to do in FFXIV.

What exactly were you expecting?

Something that doesn't look like it belongs in the Companion App.

...excatly that. Its nice, but like, i cant even add the 5th... whatever the lighthouse and other stuff are called on english lol

At least dont make me feed each animal by hand, let by stack the food there - even if its only the tier 3 stuff - and have them eat on their own. No i wont pay mamets for that, its ridiculous.
