Opinions: Ishgardian Restoration

I'm just hoping people don't stop completely since the season is done. We still need to complete stages!

There will be more seasons to come, the second season will probably start next week.

So, I got multiple writs of commendation in the mail. Can only use one, can only carry one (unless I toss them in my saddlebag or on a retainer) and I can't delete the extras. Anyone know how to get rid of them?

I don’t believe there is a way at this moment.. I got a second Beata writ in the mail from CUL and then I’ll have a third when they get to BTN.

People are probably taking a bit of a break today after working hard during the ranking period but there will still be players working on leveling their crafting jobs, scrip farming or getting their accumulative Skyward point achievements.

If you don't care about getting Skyward points or Kupo of Fortune vouchers, the best way to contribute is making level 70 items with a level 80 job. With a minimum of 2132 Craftsmanship and 268 CP, you can make them in 2 steps Trained Eye - Groundwork. If your Craftsmanship is between 1496 and 2131, add in Veneration after Trained Eye for a 3 step craft.

They're worth 20 scrip and 78 stockpile progress points each. I've been able to make and submit about 300 an hour as a 2 step craft so the scrip and stockpile points add up faster than they will submitting the level 80 and Expert crafts which take longer to make. I miss out on the Kupo stamps and Skyward Points, though.

Getting 500k in this short time requires a lot of grinding, you are not meant to get everyting in 2-3 weeks, just cut your crafting by 300% and do other things to not burn yourself out.

If you dont grind at least quite a bit (even if you dont do this daily) you will probably take months or maybe even years..they could have easily give us the mount after getting one DoH and one DoL to 500k and it would still take most of the people quite a bit of a time..that achievement would be better placed in a Asia grind F2P MMO..

In the end Ishgard restauration has turned into nothing but an utter grindfest for rowena like turn ins. You either craft that one expert item a huge amount of time or another. The few fates that we have are still as boring as the first ones and just take longer to spawn and honestly Diadem was only fun for the first few times afterwards (especially if you want to win a title) its nothing but mindless grind again. At least I can watch some lets plays next to it. The only thing fun was the new attack in it and I wished we had more of that and less of just pure grind.

For it being the endgame content for crafters and gatherers it feels bad to me. In the end its just Rowena with a different look. The next steps really have to be absolutely great to make me change my opinion.

Feel like they're using this as a test case for how grindy they can make the crafter relic, lol.

Remember this only stage 2 and the Grade 3 stuff is likely to be worth even more points. The Pterodactyl is supposed to be a goal that will last through till 6.0 and beyond and the crafter/gather Skybuilder relics are also in the future.
