Request for Item: Experience Egg (Culinarian)

[Veritas-Ancora]

With the official video of Red Mage released, it's pretty safe to say it's amazing and the queues for DPS will be insane after the initial month or two.

Can Culinarians please craft the famously-Final-Fantasy Experience Egg and permit a 10% EXP boost without additional stats?

To make the item affordable, I would suggest it a 50-60 range item recipe and make it accessible for all players. Crafting and gathering takes quite a while as it is and 60-70 is going to be crazy. This could be an in-game solution for retention, whereas the Jump Potion is an initial jump into the game. Both could work very well together!

Crafting is fairly easy, from 1-60, as it is. Keep your gear up-to-date and HQ, make sure you've got the level 15 cross class skills, and you can use NQ materials to HQ anything 70 or 80 durability from 1-49. With all crafters at 50, you can tackle the HW levels, which are only harder due to the harsher underlevel penalty. Keep your crafters leveled equally, and you will be fine.

Mining and Botany are something of a pain from 1-50, but Leves help with that by quite a bit. Once you hit 50, if you've got good enough gear, start on Collectibles and they become the easiest thing in the game to level. Fishing was never hard, or all that slow, once you decided to actually go out and fish.

While I like the idea of an iconic exp item, I do not see any need for the thing at this point.

I think he means to use the exp for DoW/DoM classes.

I don't want it sold by players. They try to overprice as much as possible, making it an unfair advantage.

Oh?

This suggests otherwise.

This says otherwise, too.

[Roth_Trailfinder]

You seem to think he wants it exclusively for DoM/DoW. I was simply pointing out that it appears he wants it for all classes, not just combat ones. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you want it for all classes too, but your posts do not give that impression.

As it is right now, combat classes are insanely EASY to level up. That's why I did not address them in my first reply here - they do not need a bonus, they should be 10 to 20 times harder than they are now per level. Crafting and gathering classes, he specifically called them out as taking quite a while (in addition to his expectation of insane DPS queues) so I focused upon them in my first reply.

If you think something is overpriced, then make it yourself. If people are buying it at a certain price, clearly it is not overpriced because of basic economic mechanics.

In regards to the debate on usability, he literally said culinarian craft a food. What foods are class or role restricted on consumption? None of them. Clearly they are all geared towards specific roles based on the stat boosts, but he is asking for a generic crafted exp boost that is higher than the default 3% you get with some component foods/ingredients.

[Culfinrandir]

I am completely lost to find the reasoning behind this as everyone already has access to either FC 10% exp boost or Squadrons 10% exp boost that will work from 60+. Not to mention the 3% food bonus on top. It simply is not required at all. Unless I'm missing something.

Edit to above (not possible on mobile) - Squadron Battle Manual is 15% exp boost, not 10%. My bad.
