So uh, any chances that they drop the requirement to have Farthings in order to get Crystal Sand? They aren't obtainable anymore but Catalysts are, and it seems really rude to just taunt people like this.

Crafter scrips are way easier and faster to do and I doubt they'll change the steps any more.

Also moonstones, if you don't have any crafters.

This, I drop my seals into Moonstones to pre-farm this step any time that I don't need glam prisms or ventures.

It is mostly for people who still keep those legacy currencies for some reasons, in case they want to spend.

From the market, you can buy items dropped from Primals and exchange them for Crystal sand. It is what I did. They are relatively cheap. I think that's the fastest way if you don't have the Disciples of the Hand job unlocked.

Oh that's why I never got any mhachi farthings. I just assumed I missed a Void Ark/Dun Scaith/Dun Scaith drop that I needed to grind for.

I mean I get that, but my issue is that the Catalysts are still obtainable but the farthings aren't. With no way to get Farthings the Catalysts are functionally useless as well. If you are going to remove an item from the game you should change instances that require that item as well. With Tomestone gear they gave us the option to augment for 100 poetics, for consistency sake I would like it so I can turn in just Catalysts for the sand or something along those lines, IDK.

Catalysts are used in crafting recipes for the wootx weapons at the least. Don't remember what else.

They weren't just a thing to turn in for sands.

Best item for that I'd say is Amber Encased Vilekins. Just gotta be willing to spend most, if not all, of your levequest allowances...

I just buy those Ifrit horns etc, easy.

I can't remember the leve when you can do over & over to get the amber encased thing. That's how I got all the crystal sand stuff.

Possible reward from treasure chest found during any level 50-60 battle levequest (Heavensward content).

But why farthings specifically? Why not the other Mhachi currencies?

The catalysts aren't going to do anything for you if you don't have the unacquirable coins to trade along with them.

A lot of people swear by Dance, Magic Dance in Hinterlands but I like Puppet Show better because it's right outside of Moghome.

I think "Show Your Work", a level 54 is one of the better ones. Start it, fly over the area to check for chests, fail it from the menu, and re-initiate to get a new chest.
