Sometimes, you just want a good 'ol grind

Yeah the armillae are my go-to for white scrips. Pancakes and draught also work well if you run out of the other mats.

Best return on monster drops if you want to maintain stores for crafting is a hunting retainer. And it sounds like you got lucky on monster drops because I've had some take a lot longer than 2 hours when I had to go that route.

Trick was finding the best path through the places they spawned and keeping my DPS high to rapidly take them out, and perhaps a lot of luck.

So today I finished the offhand greens and I'm making the HQ materials needed to make the crystal items.

Send them out for Almasty Fur, Ophiotauros Hide, and Petalouda Scales and you'll be covered

Will do. Thanks!

Okay, there we go. That's all crystal tools, just in time for them to announce the next step.

That brings all my crafters to 620 (and my gathers WOULD all be 620 except, well, you know, fisher), so back to the previous crafting grind.

Diadem and Firmament.

I'm slowly gathering tier 2 materials, eventually I will get enough to craft 100 tier 2 expert with each class, and then move on to the NEXT set of achivements.

Kind of funny for me how little I've touched Firmament. I was already maxed when it came out so didn't need it for leveling and never got into the leaderboard thing when it was current. It's on my list to get back to sometime. Once I finish wasting all my time on the Pagos relic light grind.

I do all my grinding in the Quicksand!

I'm very slowly collecting the stage 2 artisan items needed to make my stage 2 expert.

Press on! It's a really awesome feeling to get all of these at last. It's my first expansion being capable enough to make these.
Best of luck friend!

Congratulations! \o/

Finished the last stage 2 hildi today, so that's all the new tools and all the new hildis. Did the tools from scratch. Did the tomestones from roulettes + the occasional troia. I could have finished the weapons faster if I did hunts, but I had a poor experience with that so I avoid those from now on.

Guess I can get back to work on finishing my first HW Relic. I don't think it'll be too bad since I never used most of my HW BT currency and I got to use that to basically skip the anima step.
