    It might be reasonable to reward tomestones if you do it enough, but 5 tomestones is way too high.

    That would mean that 20 fates gives 100 tomestones, which is about what you get for doing a combined leveling roulette, expert roulette, and main scenario roulette. You can burn through 20 fates extremely fast, even in max-level zones like The Tempest.

    Making it more like 1 tomestone for a fate is much more reasonable.

    An expert dungeon outside of roulette gives 50 tomestones for typically about 20 minutes of work. Maybe 3 tomestones for a FATE would be better, but 5 is really not that much in comparison to running dungeons, and 1 would make them still pointless.

    Except people would not just do one fate and call it quits. They would spam them. The little insignificant single-digit number would add up really fast. You don't want to challenge the in-place incentives to run actual dungeons and roulettes for tomestones. Other sources are supposed to be additional 'trickle' sources and nothing more.

    1 single expert roulette gives you 100 (I could be wrong by 10 or something), and takes less than doing 20 fates. So it doesn't really seem unbalanced to me, to give 5. Maybe something less, but 1 is ridicolous.

    Just to take note here, it takes 396 fates to rank 3 cap all of the ShB zones.

    Are you saying it should take more fates to weekly cap doing this method than it does to completely finish capping all the fate zone levels (which was meant to be content to keep fates from dying which, surprise, people stopped doing once they capped it.)

    Yes. Getting tomestones via fates would be similar to getting exp from killing mobs in the open world. It's fine to exist, but it should not be practical to use without also using the current methods of getting tomestones.
