5GP Every 3s Is Kind of Not Okay

[Silverbane]

I mean, Crafting classes get it easy. Craft something, burn all your CP, and when you finish crafting, you get all of your CP back instantly.

OTOH, crafters have to get the mats, either by buying mats from a gatherer or by gathering the mats themselves. SO they either have to spend the time gathering, just like you, or pay you to spend the time.

Right now, I find it is a lot easier to make money by gathering than by crafting.

A simple solution would be to will scale the tick value to the GP maximum.

E.g. 0 - FULL takes 5 minutes. A tick every 3 seconds would mean 100 ticks to go from empty to full.
Your tick value would be determined by your maximum GP.
If you are a young gatherer with 300 GP maximum, 3 GP per tick. For the master gatherer with 650 GP, then 6.5 GP per tick.

Gp is fine at where it's at as previously mentioned by other posters. Just pop a cordial. Your not meant to mine and gather every unspoiled/legendary node with 600 gp.

The slow GP rate makes it so getting leafborne and landborne sand trying. At best in one window you can gather max rarity twice. If someone has a different experience let me know I am still trying to get all the new gear. D:

Have you tried using High-Cordials? They can almost double your GP regen (400GP, 4 minute cool-down versus a base of 300GP per 2.9 minute Eorzean bell).

An ephemeral window practically lasts (since you need some time to do the last gather and the nodes disappear a little early) 3.6 or so bells, which is about 10.5 minutes. Depending on the timing of the collectibles appearing, you should be able to use 2 High Cordials in that period, for a total GP regeneration of about 1800 GP. If you came in topped-of and got really lucky, you might be able to do 4 600GP rotations, although that would take very good luck indeed. But three could definitely happen ...

Yeah I haven't tried high cordials yet, I haven't bought any in a while. (Long live fishing!) But yeah luck seems to be the main determining factor, even with this it makes the rate of sands gathered pretty low. So a gp increase one way another would help the number of sands gathered but it might kill the market too(seaborne rate will be less affected) leaving me on the fence. :/

5 GP is definitely okay. 5 GP per 1 Eorzean minute = 300 GP each Eorzean hour. That's a good amount.

If it's the 3s thing you're inquiring; that's a huge server tweak

They should change the 400 cap for starting GP on class change tho. There's no reason to start you without a full bar if it's been long enough.

Technically ... That's because you regen to 400 GP when on another class/job. That 400 is the base starting amount; it is how much you have when you have no GP gear on.

Because a Monk or a Carpenter has no GP gear, they cannot get more than that 400. So you only have that 400 when you go from a crafting/combat to a gathering.

N.B.: I was out hunting Ornery Karakuls between timed-node spawns the other day as a WHM, with iLvL 200 WHM mainhand, hat, and body, but wearing full right-hand side gathering gear, gathering belt, gathering legs, and gathering feet. Not only did I get a nice fleece yield (while one-shotting the poor wee sheepsies) , I had 600+ GP when I switched back to Miner.
