Personally, I'm waiting until they nerf the "Coming into its own" quest to a level that makes any sort of sense compared with the new quest, before continuing past i200. Sorry, farming over 54 THOUSAND esoterics and poetics is just insane.

Comparatively, the new step is only 9k tomes to complete, flat out, no crafting or other collecting nonsense. You can even do it faster by completing the old Crystal Tower climb quest.

I can deal with the collecting and the crafting SE, but make the progression sensible.

People always say this but they also conveniently fail to mention the fact that you can also get the items from all beast tribe dailies and treasure maps AND gordias

But! but...


then it wouldn't sound anywhere near as dramatic.

Unfortunate then, that it takes 20 days to max out ARR beast tribes from 0, Gordias is basically dead unless you form your own full party.

And treasure maps have crap drop rates.

You say that as if you could do all of those in 1 day. I'm 28/80 on the Unidentified items after about 2 weeks. I'm sure by the time I am 80/80 I will have the gil to buy all 16 HQ crafts from the MB. I simply do not have time to do anything BUT:

All roulettes that provide Eso/Poetics
beast tribe dailies

Before it gets so late I need to go to bed or I run the risk of going to work on just 5 hours of sleep. The beast tribe dailies don't payoff for me either since I just came back to the game and never touched the ARR ones, so I can't even buy anything good from them still though I nearly have the HW ones maxed out now.

Used to be that spending the roughly 40 days of getting all 4 beast ARR beast tribes to Rank 3, with no progress toward currency to buy the unidentified items, was actually faster than doing the Vanu in the long run (assuming that was your primary source and it took longer than 50 days to get all the tokens). Not sure what the ratio to it is now with the Vath added in.

Hands down, Gordias and the Beast Tribe quests are the slowest way to grind out these items, but they are also the "easiest" with a low expectation of gear and skill level. Doing the Hunt is probably the fastest if you can find a group for it since you can net around 5-6 items in 2 hours. lv50 roulette and Main Story roulette are great for poetics, especially if you end up getting a first timer. You can always go back to farming the Praetorium too, which I believe will net you a base of 120 poetics for every run, and that's technically the fastest way to get progress on this if there isn't a hunt group.

I'm sorry to say, I don't want to see this nerfed yet. While it is long winded and tedious, it goes towards a 210 weapon. While that isn't a big deal, the next step is incredibly easy, and you get a 230 weapon, which for some jobs, is a pretty damn nice weapon, and better than the lore 230 counterpart. Keep going on it, and you will finish it, if you care about it enough.
