Duty limit?

Why is this a thing for someone with hundreds of hours of playtime, made many purchases in the shop and who's been paying to play the game for a year and a half? I'm obviously not a bot. You make players run insane amounts of duties if they want to power up light for these relics and then you punish them for doing it. I don't want to play this many duties for fun, I just aim to make relic progress. It only takes a few hours to reach this cap running things unsynced anyway. So much for making substantial progress on these with my day off. There's not even a warning! I can't even go do roulettes or other duties now - I'm just completely locked out. Sure am glad I don't have raid night planned or anything tonight or this would have completely ruined it. This really needs to be adjusted to be more practical.

first part "ive given so much money to this game....hear me rawr rawr". other thing. ive never had a duty limit doing any relics. roulettes only give bonus once a day. generally i just ran content unsync for light or whatever and if i needed poetics just queued for the dungeon itself that gave the most. like what did you do to get a lockout.

I didn't know there's a duty limit. Is it per hour? Daily? I've asked in Novice Network if such a thing exists like that other game but didn't get an answer.

Also I've never encountered this before, and I've grinded out all the ARR relics on another toon, and I regularly spam haukke normal/hard unsync for the fine wax and manor varnish.

Due to bots running dungeons 24/7 for gil drops and bogging down servers its capped to 200 a day IIRC.

There's a limit? I cannot say I have ever run into that in all honesty.

this i did not even know existed till now. i learn something new still after all these years

How even do 200 duties in a day to reach the cap. This is first time ever heard of there being a cap and I have been here since 1.0

Its 100 dungeons a day, the only real way to hit it is to BLU spam dungeons for gil. Or maybe farming glam in old lv50/60 dungeon where you blow through in 5 minutes but arent guaranteed a piece of gear cause its not a leveling dungeon

But actually, touch some grass, my friend.

I've got the 10,000 duty achievement and far exceeded it and exceeded it even more on alts. I have played for 8 years. I have never reached this limit, even when mount farming extremes or even unsynced farming.

in thinking about it, even if its 100, and very very very few have ever run into it... I think it is indeed practical already and does not need adjustment. if it only took "a few hours to reach" what were you running? to hit 100, even unsynched, in a few hours...would mean you are taking just over 2 minute per run.... relax.. the game isnt going anywhere...

Same... I didn't know this was a thing...

It's 100 a day and you can do it incredibly easily if you're working on multiple relics at a light step. Especially if any involve Aurum Vale. You can run that place in 2 minutes (2:03 was my best time on ninja) and you need 40 runs if it's not on bonus.

I had it happen recently on a night I was supposed to join some friends on a regular Saturday meet up where I had been running relics during the day and had to join them on an alt. It's a rolling amount so it took about 5 hours before I could do any instances on my main again so at least you're not locked out an entire 24 hours.

They probably should bump the total a bit.

I never knew this was a thing either. But I can say that if for some unfathomable reason you do hit this limit, it is likely a very good thing to pull the plug on you at that point.

To be fair most people aren't going to be running double relics for light phase. Or spamming something that many times to hit the cap. People either get bored or too frustrated and go take a break.

THERE'S A LIMIT!?

Things also used to take a bit longer to unsync. I think if levels continue to grow we'll see more people run into this sort of thing. Doesn't need to be a big boost. Maybe double it and see how things go. Gives players a bit more breathing room but still low enough it would limit bots.

Does it count just entering a duty or completion? I drop out of the duty right after I obtain the fine wax/manor varnish and don't go all the way through.

Maybe if it was more prevalent, but with the amount of people who didn't know there was one. On top of those who knew but never ran into it. Not saying that it should get boosted after it becomes so much of a thing where we see threads being made once a month or however many. I'd guess that people run out of leves or know someone who has than finding out there's a duty cap.

I don't think I've ever actually run into that limit.

I've had days where I've done all my roulettes + doing a bunch of dungeons unsync'd at a rate of like 3-5 minutes per duty for ARR/HW relics.

would say I never run into the cap either.
Seeing as it'd Dungeon specific as well.

[Most of the Relics require to be at a certain stage anyways before you can grind it.]
<With Zeta, you need to get past books, and individual quest chains. you can save up the quest chains for the rest of the Relics at once. or the tome/gc items.
(so you'll decide to finish it before going onto the next one)
Anima doesn't have anything that will take forever to reach said cap, as you'll be required to reach a certain point that you may as well finish it, before going onto the next.>
we already know how the other Relics work, so any Dng stage wouldn't get you that far, even if you anti-towered.

You can easily hit this cap farming light for more than one Zodiac or anima.
