Diadem Gathering Problem

I'm having trouble getting in to Diadem for gathering Spharelite for my ingots, and its getting very serious. Past days I'm trying go get in but had to wait 2 to 3 hours to PF make a group. I don't care if Diadem is dead or devs don't have any more utility to it, but make a material that could be farmed there than make the gatherer wait hours to get it is disgraceful. I strongly suggest make nodes of that material outside Diadem or make free party entrance for gatherers only, I don't care, have to wait hours to enter a dead dungeon is terrible.

You could always try finding a Free Company with access to the Diadem through airships in the company workshop.

Entering the Diadem in this way only requires a group of 2, with only one having to be an FC member, so you wouldn't have to join said FC to do this.

I don't have any contact with any other free company and my company only have myself as member. This game keeps giving me reasons for stop playing.

Then make contact with other free companies? This is an MMO, not a singleplayer game.

Or another option would be to build an airship and get it to rank 25/50, so you can access the Diadem yourself. All you'd have to do is ask 3 friends for help (for the crafting part, since progressing a project still requires a light party), and 1 friend to group up with to get into the Diadem (when your airship has a high enough rank)

You think I didn't tried that? Spend my last hour and half trying to get someone like a homeless asking for money in street signal. If people would like to go there, I would not had to wait several hours in PF. I would love this game be like a MMO indeed, but either I got people who don't give a fuzzy about me or people who wants to screw me. Now I know why all my friends are leaving it.

I try to avoid waste my time here in the forum. 1º - Tried party finder = didn't worked, 2º - Tried to shout or sending private messages to everyone I could get to in Idyllshire = didn't worked and got nasty comments from some people, 3º - Offered gil for going in = also didn't worked and get even nasty comments again, 4º - Made a post here = will it work? Make a guess.

Wait, am I getting this right? You just sended /tells to random strangers in idleshire and you're surprised that they might be annoyed? I'm sorry but from your last post I got the impression of a "me, me, me!"-attitude. If you're not able to make ONE friend who is willing to just escort you to Diadem (they dont even have to stay), you might be doing something wrong here...

You got the same idea as me. I have friends, many actually, many which have leaved the game, and others which I see only once in never, and the the online ones (right now there are 12) don't want to go there for any reason, even if I offer gil for it. Theres indeed a problem here, but online cooperation was not the reason which I have made this post, because eventually I'll get there. The real problem is how inflexible the game is, because it don't give me any reliable solution. You have a place where nobody goes anymore, and you have recipes that needs material for that place, and its very unlikely to get there, what should I do? I was there pestering people because I don't have any more solution, and this forum is the lowest bottom I could go trying to get a solution, to see how horrible it is.

But cooperation IS the solution for this problem, really. In your case it doesnt even require much of it. Your other solution: There is always the market board.

Nah I believe the game gave all it could give for me, I believe its time to leave. I would love to continue playing with my friends, but everyone is leaving, and the present people are monsters. I shall take my leave, thanks for the support.

Start a linkshell for diadem gathering. You can't be the only person wanting to gather there. Prices for mats are pretty high.

Even decent tomes for the time involved in getting currents and 3 objectives, 2 of which are always gathering-related and a 3rd either white or black crystals, or a buried coffer.

The issue is that a crafting ingredient can only be gathered in a dungeon that hardly anybody queues for anymore. Yes, this is a problem for people who don't have access to an FC airship or people who have access to an FC airship. This forces people like you to either buy from the market board or make new friends.

However, you must realize that 3.3 patch is new and that Diadem is the last thing anybody is trying to do right now. There is a ton of patch content people rather queue for and it will remain this way until at least a few weeks when most people have done what they wanted.

I only recently got my FC house and my first airship but I have no problem letting people come with me at some stage later once unlocked all the Diadem sectors. As a gatherer/crafter myself I understand the desire to get the ingredients from there. However you are not on my server so even when I do unlock them all, I can't help you but there must be people like me on your server who will. Like another person said the queue times for non FC method is long mostly because loads of new content people are doing instead, the queue times will drop sooner or later though but in the meantime if I was in your position and was not part of an FC with an airship or had my own then I would make a PF listing asking people if mind letting me go with them on theirs. The /tell method targeting random people is probably not the best method to use.

...with this attitude, maybe it IS time to leave, yes... You dont want to network and make friends and you dont understand that the problem is more on your side here. Is it annoying to get that stuff only from diadem? Yes, it is. Is it impossible to get? Hell no! That is, if you're not just running around, pestering people and acting like "You all suck anyways because you dont do excatly what I want!"
If not getting into diadem right after patch day, refering to the forum as lowest bottom and calling pretty much everyone a monster... I have one word to say to you: Goodbye! :)

PS.: Please dont forget to relinquish your land! We've got a housing shortage so someone might want to use it!

I agree with Vidu the attitude is clearly bad
The game is not wanting you to stop

You want to stop
You cannot blame the game who offer multiple way to get a content to not WORK for you because... it wasn't design like that

As other said, communication is key, and yoshida repeat it nearly each live letter

One point is strange.. you're saying your FC has one member... you?
Then recruit, you seems to want some comp, then recruit with a craft oriented idea
Having fellow Crafter with you will help to achieve what you want because you will all have the same goal.

PF is an other way to go
Or MB yes
Price are not always that horrible

Diadem is being reworked to better accommodate gathering. If not being able to gather some ore is enough to make you quit you're not playing it right. And yeah the attitude, this was more of an outburst in response to your frustrations except no-one on this thread is responsible. When multiple people are getting a weird vibe about you, you ought to look at yourself.

There will always be demand for the materials from the Diadem, you're bound to find someone who made need it as well, especially in a free company.
