More SB (Spirit Binding) Spot Options within Eorzea

[givemeraptors]

I guess you didn't read my post. "Within the realm of Eorzea," not 8 man dungeons that would be somewhat hard to form. Currently the places within Eorzea that are not in DF are capable of being done with just 2 people. I am asking for more spots within just the realm itself.

Shouldn't be too hard if you put a something in PF. Loads of people will be out SB. Otherwise, there are already plenty of high level FATES to SB on, especially in Northern Thanalan. If you want to SB equipment ilvl70 or above super fast, it's going to be dungeons, Coil or CT. The last thing we need is more spots for bots to camp.

Whether its within DF or not, Bots will always be present to camp any of the above. They are not solely restricted to outside of DF and we all know this. Perhaps a good solution would be a dungeon in DF solely meant for SB (liek Turn 3 but maybe just 4 man.) However you dice it in this game, bots will always be here, unless the Special Task Force steps up their game, and it absolutely should not negatively impact legitimate players looking for effective ways to SB.

Wouldn't it be possible to simply gehter or craft until they are sb'ed? Iremember that while fishing it goes really fast.

It's actually a rather slow task, and often an expensive one. Individual shards may not cost a whole lot (50-100gil per), but when synths take 3-6 per, it adds up a lot. So your end profit isn't exactly the greatest for the time you spend on it. You also have to include repair costs, which surprisingly adds up faster crafting than combat. Gathering is just dead slow from my experience. If your primary goal is materia gains, you're better off with combat.

The biggest advantage to SBing while crafting is that you don't have to be there. If you craft stuff for leve turn-ins, depending on what leves you do, you can more than make up for the shard cost and sometimes even get your materials back on top of that.

Obvious negative is that leves are finite.

Can bots do Turn 3 successfully? Maybe CT...

Anyway, there's still Northern Thanalan fate grinding. With an FC SB boost and the potion you can get for seals should be super easy. I've been SB tons of equipment just from leveling up my classes.
