This red scrip system doesn't seem very casual-friendly..

So...

I was under the impression that Yoshi mentioned end game crafting and gathering became too hardcore, requiring all the expensive melds etc, so they wanted to implement a system that allowed casual players to take their time.

Sounds great! Oh...

So I don't have botanist, just miner, so I can collect 2 items every half an hour. Thats 16 scrips. 32 per hour (no, i cant collect the folklore stuff without expensive melds). So i need to dedicate 14 hours a week to waiting around for these nodes to cap. 2 hours a day. When you compare that to the 25 mins a day for expert roulette, this doesn't seem very casual at all.


I was really looking forward to being able to do endgame gathering without having to spend 5 million gil and watching melds fail over and over. But this has just confirmed my suspicions that SE just wants everything in this game to be a long, arduous grind that kills the enjoyment of the activity.

I would love to hear thoughts on whether you agree or disagree, and whether you plan to cap these red scrips every week.

It's not casual friendly at all, you are correct. I am an Omni crafter & gather so i'm basically screwed. 66 weeks alone to gear my crafting classes

They basically made Crafting/Gathering into end game serious raid level commitment. Soooo basically either you're going to spend hoards and hoards of money on the crafted gear or spend months gearing up with scrips.

I too am casual and I don't want to dedicate any more time to gathering when I don't have that much time to play. Apparently were being punished for not being able to be on more than a couple (or less) hours a day. Even with the cap I probably won't be able to meet it most weeks. So I guess were S.O.L.

There isn't too much rage on here surprisingly, only because there is only 3 gathering classes. Check out the Crafting threads. The player base is not happy campers.

They always say "its to not stress people by making them feel they need to have everything at lv60/maxed out" etc so they brick-wall us in instead and cause stress anyway

I can confirm u need to have A LOT of time if u even wanna survive this red scrip horror.
I'm chipping away at the favors slowly as i used up ALL of my scrips to sample each area except azys llya as its like uh..... There r kinda 0 nodes except for legendary ones. Soo... Uh y se y u do this.
- matron favor ( hinterlands ) gives u forelands favor buff WTF.
Again y u do this se.

It's actually VERY casual friendly. It's not friendly to people who want to rush through gearing crafters up, or people who raid/farm/level a lot because they probably wont have the time for it.

With a bit of teamwork its still doable reasonably however.

Red scripts system is a trash grind. It is a massive time sink at the end of you can make decent crafting/gathering gear that very few will be able to afford to buy unless they rmt. The DoW/DoM gear is a total waste of time and does not add any value I can see to raiders in a time frame they would need it or buy it. The last beast tribe in 2.0 for getting the mats for out last crafting/geathering gear left me less than amused though I did the grind for a while. I will still play a bit, this new system has taken my interest off crafting which is the game to me.

I dont think that semi-afking for 14 hours per week is a big deal, stay at the node, get the XIV clock app and visit the game every ~30 minutes when your phone rings

do that 4 times a day and you are finished

You sir do not know the definition of casual if you think taking over a year to gear your crafting classes is casual, that is in fact LESS casual than serious raiding. What teamwork? You cannot trade tokens or collectables, there is zero teamwork involved in this. Sorry but unpopular opinion. Casual friendly would be making it easier to get scripts, with no cap, so I don't have to spent so much playtime, as a CASUAL player, to get past the gate.

This exactly!!!

All it is is a massive time sink to keep us busy so they don't have to release new content. The sad thing is I'll make more money selling script mats than I will crafting anything else. So why bother even getting the gear? It's not even that good if you check the data tables people have compiled.

What a disappointment.

I'm sorry but I don't think I should have to leave my young child alone in the bathroom during bath time ( you know how dangerous that can be when they're young? ) because OMG node... or get up in the middle of dinner with my husband who I don't get to see all day because.. OMG node. Clearly you are someone without very many obligations or responsibilities... so I'm just going to consider your "point" moot.

The point is the grind isn't even borderline ridiculous. It is ridiculous.

You're entitled to your opinion to not thinking the new system is garbage but suffice to say you have an incredibly unpopular opinion. That is all!

Ofcourse. Because casual players have the time to afk at nodes. Yeah its not like they have something better to do like play the game, or have a life.

And 3 (up to 6 times) per hour is actually quite a lot considering that you also have to travel to each location and most people like to you know, play the game.

This 66 weeks make me lol everytime, cause there will be about 3-5 patches released then. So you're just saying 'I can't get BiS with all crafters until next patch? But i wanna :('

yeah, so casuals may not get their weekly cap and may have not so much gear fast. So what? Speaking of gatherers in 2.x casuals could wait 70 minutes for 2 attemps resulting in 0 of the 99 needed hq-things cause bad RNG and no Furier-gear.

And i'm glad that i can have a bunch of gil of those rushing players, cause i myself dont have the need to BiS asap before next patch.

Point it out if I'm wrong:

We get 450 script a week, which is , 45 favor item ;
When using each favor item , it will be 15-minute gathering work;
In order to max out the value (not missing any node , gather as fast as possible), one should keep focused in these 15 minutes;
Which means we need to do about 11 hours' focused gathering each week.
I know many people out there can do this while watching a movie or something. I'm not arguing . For me i want to do it as focused as possible.


Now this may not look like a problem for full-time gatherers. But, casual ? Huh. I wonder how many people who have a life and want to enjoy other parts of the game , can manage this.

And yup, i forgot to mention they need all those hours to sit out their weekly script first.

2 times per hour, if you gather 6 nodes per hour you are done in 4 hours? makes it even more casual friendly

whats the deal about doing rl things (isnt that casual?), go to your pc for less than 1 minute once your phone rings, go back to rl business

it takes nearly zero time and zero effort to reach 450 red scribs
you dont even have to play the game to achieve that, just afk on one spot, no travel times or anything involved. Just that 1 minute of minor attention during one hour

This system they implemented is known as a "Free to Wait Gaming" Except this time there is no cash shop items that reduce your wait time. I dont know, maybe japanese get their kicks clicking like robots every 30 minutes, and they paid it for too 'yo 'now, so it must give them pleasure. But to general world wide population this system is a cash shop system they did not subscribe to, so it will reflect one way or another, but they gonna reap what they sow, thats how it always was and will be. If they think FF fanboy'ism is enaugh to pull that shit like its some exclusive delicassy then pls someone give 'em chopsticks.

There seems to be some confusing to how unspoiled nodes work.

-In order to actually mine a node you need full (600, 700 in the case of folklore) GP. You also need to travel to the nodes which takes time.
-You also need to actually have the time to gather from a node, as due to GP regeneration and travel times you lose additional time that you cannot craft, or do anything else in the game that is not related to gathering.

It took me quite a few hours yesterday (and this morning) to cap red scrips.


You mention afking at a spot, but that only works if your a) around to afk there, while b) for some reason you have the game open but are not actually playing it; as if you were playing it you wouldnt be able to afk for no reason.
And finally c) it would also reduce your rate of scrips to a measly 32-48 per hour, which means you it would take you 10 to 15 hours of pure afking each week.

Im sorry, how exactly is this casual friendly? Do casuals have the time to go afk for 10 hours per week?

All in all this game start to becoma as a smartphone mmo, everything is so gated that i feel soon they gonna implement smartphone api to log in for daily gatharing and crafting. As thing are going I feel that it simply cannot be justified to have this kind of grind on full blown pc graphics engine. If i have PC game running i want it to have my full attention on not some through the eye corner clicking like some browser game.

Agreed. It seems to push people into having all gatherers leveled to actually be able to get the red scrips without dedicating all your ingame life to getting red scrips. I am just using FSH at the moment to get my red scrips, and whilst it doest have strict timetable that miners and botanist have to get their scrips, it has RNG in abundance.

It is made even harder by the fact that blue scrips are slow to get on FSH, consistent kind of, but slow. So much time just to do something you like......sigh.

Assuming you meet the gear requirements for unspoiled node. Ignore the folklore nodes as you do not need them.

It takes 5 minute to grab a node and get 16-24 scrips. If you cannot manage to do that 30 times in a week, why are you paying a sub? It does not get any more casual then that. Seriously all that you have to do to get gear for a miner or bot is to mine or harvest. You do not have to get an app, or leave your baby in the tub, or get up from dinner. You just grab a node if you are on the game and free. If you choose to do something else while you are on, then live with your choice.

This gear is not needed right now for anything in the game. There will not be anything that needs it for quite some time. They released it now so you have months to get the gear BEFORE they release content it is needed for.

Fishers on the other hand...have to rely on RNG

With NQ il140/150 tools and full trailblazers (blue scrip gear)
NQ belt and acc+ the materia you get from your 58/60 quests, and converting your old gear. You can eat NQ snurbleberry tart or HQ of a lesser food and reach 600 gathering and 600gp. Some may also need the FC buff, but that all depends on your melds. You can of course get HQ MH/OH and be good to go without melding. Since you can sell that materia for more then the tools cost now, that is a decent option.

Us fishers have to deal with RNG, in-game timers, and weather. And we actually have to worry about GP now, which is something that I'm still getting used to managing. I can't tell you how many times I've said "crap, I forgot to get more cordials!"

Great post OP.

I think blankdiploma summed up the thoughts that many of us are voicing nicely:

Good lord, where to begin.
It seems the SE has intentionally run DoL/DoH into the ground via a combination of a lack of rewards and the single most convoluted grind I have ever seen in a video game.

Let's recap: 1) Crafters have almost nothing to offer combat classes anymore. If you're not a culinarian, the best you can do is i180 gear that is EXORBITANTLY expensive. MAYBE pentamelded with rank V materia (which are several million a piece) it might be relevant, but even then the crafting of these items is gated behind an obscene timesink.

2)Speaking of the grind, everything is now gated behind this weekly scrip turn-in system wherein you will spend millions of gil for the privilege of spending MORE millions of gil to EITHER craft something this week or use your scrips to buy mats to sell on the AH to other crafters. I don't think non-crafters really have been exposed to how bad this is, so let's look at an example recipe:

Forgemaster's Hammer
3x Adamantite Ingot
Each Adamantite Ingot requires the following:
* Two items crafted from high-level mining mats
* Two items from high-level mining nodes gated behind a grind that requires you to farm 198x tokens from blue scrips that can only come from every-30-minute rare-spawn unspoiled nodes.

* FIVE items which require the following:
1) Limited weekly currency which can either be spend on these crafting mats or on progressing your crafter's gear, and is expensive to acquire due to mats required for red scrip turn-ins.

2) 20x items which can only be gathered by miners and botanists by spending THEIR limited weekly currency to acquire limited-use buff scrolls that give them a CHANCE to find a small number of these items while grinding on lesser nodes for 15 minutes.

1x Astral Birch Lumber
* Just as crazy as the above, except it also requires high-level alchemist-created mats because **** you, carpenters.

1x Adamantite Rivets
1x Hardsilver Ingot
* These two are easy to get.

3x Leafborne Aethersand
* Gatherer-only rare drop from reducing mats you can only get from irritating timed Ephemeral nodes.

1x Mastercraft Demimateria
* Everybody's favorite awful grind is back, where you get to spend hours levelling up Desynthesis for the privilege of getting to grind for items just so you can destroy them for a chance at getting one of these things.

And this is for a single item. Oh, and it's just a version of the Blacksmith MH that you could have saved up 3 weeks of scrip turn-ins to acquire yourself without crafting, except lower ilevel and with materia slots so you can have the privilege of blowing millions of gil on expensive materia to get slightly higher crafting mats. Oh, and if you want to just gear up each DoH class by doing the scrip turn-ins instead of bothering with these obscene recipes, you're looking at more than a year of grinding turn-ins every week. 66 weeks, to be exact. I'm sure this content won't be obsolete by then!

I had every craft at 50 when Heavensward shipped. I loved crafting in this game. I was levelling them all to 60 when this absurd bullsh*t dropped in 3.05. Now I don't know if I'm even interested in playing the game anymore. Does anybody else feel this is just way, way too excessive? Am I just raging for no reason? I just don't f***ing get it. I don't know how anybody could possibly look at the current situation and think "Yeah, this is fun and rewarding." There isn't even anything to do with high-level crafting except make shit for other high-level crafters... and food.
Ugh.

Ahem... okay... that's insane. Frustrating insane bullshit and here I was thinking that 2.x crafting already was a ridiculous and unrewarding grind.
I'll just ignore crafting until they tone this mess way WAAY down. Thanks for the heads up before I started leveling to 60.

Red Scrips DoL is very casual friendly.

It requires little to no effort, and takes very little total time. It is time gated, so you can't rush it all at once, something that is also casual friendly. For casuals that play 14 hours a week, they are on equal grounds as someone who puts in 10 hours a day.

You don't need 14 hours of in game time to cap out your Red Scrips, you need to just be on at every 30 mins.

You need a total of 8 weeks of minimal effort, logging in for 5 minutes every 30 minutes for 14 hours of a week to get the best gathering gear for 1 class in the game.

If you manage to get both BTN and MIN to 60, then you just need 7 hours in a week, spending 20 minutes in those hours to cap out your weekly limit of Red Scrips.

Plus by week 3-4 I'm guessing, you will have good enough Red Scrip gear to attempt Legendary Node Red Scrips as well if you managed to get the folklore. So this will cut down the total time you need.

People complain that this whole system isn't fun. But what did you find fun about BTN and MIN in the first place? I enjoy gathering so when I'm on, I do that. And once I see it's time to go to the red node spawn, I go there. I don't suddenly find myself not enjoying the game for having to spend 5 minutes gathering a rare item to help me get the best gathering gear in the game.

It requires farming for some 7 hours. In addition they also need to (hard) grind 11 hours to turn these scrips into materials via favors.
A casual that plays 14 hours a week does not have the time to farm 18 hours, I would think.


If you are talking just about gatherers, then no it's not a hard grind. But does still take away about 12-15 minutes each hour, for 7 hours of your playtime. For casuals who only play 14 hours that's a lot.
But even so that might be okay if it was just for gatherers.

Unfortunately these gathering materials are also needed for crafting. And using them in such a way requires 11 hours of inescapable grinding. Each week.

There are a couple of points that a lot of people seem to be missing here.

1. The existence of a weekly cap is casual friendly by definition. Its purpose is to balance things out between the people who have about enough time to collect that many scrips and people who would be able to get 5x that many if the cap weren't there. It does have the side effect of creating a sense of urgency to hit the cap, but that doesn't really change things for people on the low end of the scale for how much time they have. Someone who can only find the time to get 300 scrips a week is going to do that regardless of whether everyone else is capped at 450.

2. People are talking about the 11 hours of grinding favors as though it's the only thing you can do with the scrips and thus a required part of the weekly effort to keep current. For some players it will be, but the game does have the slower but less grindy option for those who want to go that route (though it's not perfect, since there are some items that can only be crafted.) I see this as equivalent to raids - a player who caps on the weekly timegated tomestone du jour and also raids is going to gear up faster than a player who just does the tomestones.

The system as a concept isn't terrible, the real issue is in the details. Just capping the scrips takes longer for a DOL than it does for combat jobs. A casual player can do a 30 minute dungeon via expert roulette 6 times over the course of the week and cap (not counting time spent in queue) as long as they have one DOW/DOM job at the level cap. A casual gatherer can hit the 9:00 and 11:00 nodes twice over the course of slightly more than half an hour (not counting any time lost by not logging in at exactly the right time) and cap after doing that roughly 7 times, provided that they have both MIN and BTN at the level cap - if they only have one, it takes twice as long. The DOL scrip grind is similar to what it would take to cap by running Fractal/Neverreap repeatedly without the roulette bonus. There really should have been something similar to the roulette bonus where doing something specific got you more scrips the first time per day.

The biggest problem with the favor system is the mechanic where you're using your limited resources to buy limited time durations of being able to collect the items. I would have been much happier with this if the favor items were considerably more expensive but unlocked the respective favor effect permanently, like the folklore nodes. It would still be a grind and a half to collect them all yourself, but eventually we'd get them trickling into the market because people happen to get a few while gathering birch logs or hardsilver ore or what have you.

The Favor items are like the Faust of gathering/crafting. The RNG element of it can be absolutely frustrating when you get no items from a favor.

Actually I think I'd rather fight faust for every boss than do this sheet... At least I can mitigate that by gittin gud.

Not by its defination. This was originally introduced into MMOs as claim that it would help casuals, yes. However the resulting system puts pressure to meet that cap each week, which requires a steady time investment. The reason why this is the case is because the cap has to be low enough that you can't buy much each week.
However because you can't buy much, it also means you need to save up each week, and for casual players such a long term commitment can be frustrating.
''log in and do your dailies, that is all you have time for as a casual player'' was the ongoing sentiment for a lot of players of WoW, a game littered with daily and weekly caps.

But that is the problem, it is. A crafter has no choice to do the favors if she wants to be able to make items. And making items is what crafting is all about.
You cant be suggesting that crafters gear themselves for the purpose of buying items from vendors?

This is by no means less grindy on the longer term. The materials for the Crafting Red Scrips have to come from somewhere after all.

This is only the biggest issue on the long term. On the short term it really is the amount of time you have to spend grinding that is the issue. 11 hours per week. So you can make 1 items, maybe 2.

It is an hour and a half grinding just for a single material.


While yes limited resources are the big issue, right now however the bigger issue is that there are no materials because noone wants to grind for hours for a handful of turn in items, that are highly RNG in their drop rate.

95/450 for me so far. As someone who only fishes and has no folklore books yet, it's very difficult to get the fish I need in the window I can, with the right weather, while also trying to do content on my DoW job with my FC. On the bright side, I have been able to make a lot of money selling Pripira pira or whatever they are.

I'll give you the point on the fact that the mats for every two-star craft, crafting gear or no, require red scrips and the favor grind to get. That part sucks and shouldn't have been done that way; I think we can all agree on that. My point, though, was that while everyone is primarily focusing on gearing themselves up, there is a path to doing some of that which doesn't involve doing the favor grind. Therefore, the notion that the only available option for casuals is to sink every last gathering token into favors and use them all is false.

Implementing favors as a permanent unlock absolutely would increase the availability of the items and it would do so quickly. Maybe not flood the market, but they'd be out there. You personally might need to spend 11 hours collecting the items on week 1, but pretty soon you would get people who:
- Are more into gathering than crafting and see the new trade-in items as a cool new thing to do (who might be discouraged to go for them now because of the stress of needing to maximize their return on a limited time window)
- See gathering the items as a moneymaking opportunity (likely we'll see some people doing this eventually, but the fact that there's a limit is making it really hard to justify selling them right now)
- Passively happen to get some of the items while their focus is on gathering something else, or spend five minutes gathering in a favor-enabled area while in the DF queue, and so on.
All of those people would sell the items, giving crafters more ways to get their items. And buying some of the mats has always been an aspect of crafting. Don't tell me you only ever made kirimu gear after personally farming Coil for leathers.

You're not missing out on much with regards to those folklore books and red scrips. From my personal experience I've had much better luck with Thunderbolt Eels and Tiny Axolotl using Bladed Steel Jigs than I have had fighting to catch a large-enough Capelin. Catch rate on said Eels with Brute Leeches is pretty terrible in my experience, and next time the Axolotl are up as the collectable I'll be testing the leeches with them.

The problem I'm running into is with the price of these Jigs, given that I break around 3 or so for every 100 red scrips I get from fishing. If I'm buying the materials straight and having a friend craft the lures, it's 540k gil per week for my turn-ins. If I'm buying the Jigs straight, it's more to the tune of 1.48m.

That's not even getting into the requisite time required. Fortunately I've got plenty of time and gil, but what of the so-called casual players these scrips were designed for?

I work 9 hours a day, every day. I don't have time for an additional 2 hours on the game when I have dinner to prepare, and you know. A life.

Its a bit.. unjust.

Greetings,

Thank you all for the feedback regarding the acquisition rate of red scrips. Among the various feedback we've been collecting regarding red scrips, we're also aware that players feel that the amount of red gatherers' and crafters' scrips earned is too low which leads to the amount of work to obtain them higher than it should be.

We're planning to make adjustments in next week's hotfix, so please hang in there a bit longer.

By next week do you mean when the weekly cap resets on Thursday? Next Tuesday? The Thursday after that? It would suck to see the system adjusted in the middle of the crafting/gathering week, especially if it means the items you turned in before then are suddenly worth more than you got for them.
