If you have already enjoyed the story and just blitz the MSQ (skip cutscenes, teleport a lot), you can easily do this in like… 6 to 8 hours. We’re talking an hour or two a day over one week.
Also, wear the xp boost earrings/helmets/eat food.
That depends on how much you're trying to get. I'm killing those frequently because they're part of the spawn requirement for Leucrotta. Takes about 15 minutes to kill the 50 needed and I'll end up with enough Chimera Mane for 7-9 bolts.
The open world mob drops are a way for players who don't wish to gather or craft to get some gil. SE is highly unlikely to change the drop rate at this point considering the relatively low demand for the drops that aren't part of the most recent expansion. Desynthesis has most leather and cloth bolts going up on the marketboard at very inexpensive prices so it makes even less sense to farm your own. If your concern is needing HQ materials to make a HQ item, ask an experienced crafter for advice. Outside of end game master recipes, nothing should be requiring HQ materials.
That's not having more hours in the day to play. That's playing an extra 6-8 hours on top of doing what I'm already doing.
I mean, your snarky comment seemed to imply it requires some ridiculous amount of time to do what is actually quite easy to do.
Whether you want to actually do it is on you. I’m not here to dictate what you do with your time.
