66 Weeks of Red Scrip Grinding

[MN_14]

I don't consider the 66 week time frame for the non-crafted gear to be as big of an issue since I'd wager that they were intended for more casual crafters who are interested in only gearing a single class or two. They'd have the advantage of obtaining decent gear without having to buy the crafted gear from someone else or level a lot of other classes to craft their gear. If they stick to a single class, they should be ready for more difficult recipes in around 9 weeks, which is in time for the next major update.

Omni-crafting is a completely different story, however. The 66 week path is not relevant since it's too slow, so the only other option is the crafted gear, which will take a player 23 weeks unless they buy extra materials at a premium. Sounds like you'll either have to pay up, use a number of alts to get the materials, or give up on gearing all of your classes.

Close, but:

Main hand 4x8=32
Offhand 3x8=24
Head/Hands/Feet 3x3x8=72
Body/Legs 2x4x8=64
Belt/Acc 6x2=12

204 total, 23 weeks.

With 3 mules, I'll be selling tokens in 6 weeks.

Wait 4 tokens for legs, damn that is probably the last piece to upgrade then.

Also it's 5x2 the rings only require 1 token each ^^

In order to accompany Patch 3.05, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds at the time below. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

*Patch 3.05 will be implemented in two separate maintenances. This maintenance is the second of two, implementing adjustments to gatherer/crafter, including “red crafters' scrip” and “red gatherers' scrip”.

Could this be an adjustment to red scrip weekly cap?

Could this be an adjustment to red scrip weekly cap?

No. They already said in the patch notes the perception -> collectability is being changed in the update and likely a control -> collectability will also come into play to make blue scripts and dawn/sea/land aetherborn easier to obtain.

Red scripts are only being added with a free complimentary middle finger

I feel like everyone ignored the parts in the live letters that Yoshi brought up every single time. Scrips were the easy and slow way to gear while crafting your own things was the harder, but faster way.

And do both systems reward equally?

Why dont add Gear only for Specialist for Redscrips that are equal to max meld craft Gear and make it take longer to get.
The ones now are ok but thats it not more.
Hope they do something about Specialists.^^
