Chocobo racing and MGP...

[Riepah]

Yup, racing MGP deserve a buff. It's silly that you can get more MGP farming NPCs in card games without a single gil or MGP invested than doing Chocobo races which, if you take them seriously, require considerable investment of gil and MGP.

TT is also very a considerable investment, I have spent around 150k MGP trying to get any 1 of 3 cards from the Silver/Gold Triad packs and gained none yet, in terms of TT card refunds for duplicates it is something that also needs an MGP increase. But I do agree with the OP in that Chocobo Races should have an increase in MGP reward from it's current amount, I also agree with him about removing the MGP reward for DNF. The mini games like basketball, moogle catcher and others also need a MGP increase from the 1,3,5,10 type rewards to maybe 10,20,30,50 depending on the mini game. The GATEs seem to be generally okay at their current rate though a couple GATE's could be more balanced in terms of MGP reward compared to other GATEs.

You can easily farm the hardest NPCs for MGP without ever spending a single MGP on card packs. I never bought a single pack and TT is a LOT faster MGP than winning every single race I sign up for.

Firstly it is not a "LOT" faster than Chocobo Racing, it is noticeably faster but I would not go so far as to capslock the word "LOT". Someone who takes TT seriously would be doing so for the collection just like people who take Chocobo Races seriously would raise and level their Chocobo to the best of their ability, both incur MGP costs if taking them seriously while TT has a large reliance on RNG for card packs which can potentially invalidate every single MGP you spend while Chocobo Race items do not. I enjoy both activities and Chocobo Races could do with an increase but that increase does not need to be a vast amount else the pendulum swings too far in the other direction. Lets not also forget if comparing the two in their current states, Chocobo Racing is the only one out of the two which allows someone to come last aka DNF yet still win more MGP than paid to take part while if you lost in TT you actually lose MGP.

Uh? It is actually quite a significant difference. I can get 4.5k/hour on Indolent Imperial and only about half of that from Chocobo racing placing first 70% of the time. That is a significant difference. I would say that warrants the use of "A LOT", in caps.

I've "wasted" probably about 25k MGP on gold packs, before I stopped spending MGP on packs and redirected it toward chocobo racing.

I argue that there's even more RNG investment in Chocobo breeding than TT. In a SINGLE breeding (I am pedigree 4 now), I blew over 30k MGP in Grade 5 coverings trying to get ideal stats and hereditary skills. That's not including all the lethe water I've spent on the chocobo before it was retired. Every time a crap covering came up I lost 3.7k MGP. That's pure "invalidation" right there. I couldn't even progress past that stage till I got a good covering since you can't race with a retired chocobo and there's no real reason to keep ranking your birds past 40 in early pedigrees.

You're wasting MGP if you're using pedigree 5 coverings on lower grade chocobo and before you reach pedigree 8 it's even more of a waste trying to optimize the stats. I also have pedigree 4 chocobo but with 3 one star stats and I don't care, my goal for now is a pedigree 8 chocobo and each bad stat has 6% chance to make it there. I may not win every race, but I'm also not wasting MGP. It's you choice to blow your MGP on the one use licences instead of waiting a little and use multi use licences for more targeted breeding.

They said the mini games were not supposed to be a way to really earn MGP, it's more of a time filler between doing other stuff. Ex: Que for choco race, go hit the mini game 2-4 times. Que as tank for WoD... well you have alot of tiem for that but you see what i'm saying

People play TT while waiting for ques. 30-40sec to complete and hit commence if your que pops. much better investment that the mini games.
