Otherwise I don't touch crafters with a ten-fulm barge pole. If I ever even consider making a crafter tool through Cosmic Exploration I am going to be abusing Red Alerts like crazy. On the other hand, I have friends who are casual players of FFXIV and they aren't even bothering with the tools, just doing mech ops and Red Alerts so they can buy clothes.



I'm literally using jewelry I happened to have pentamelded well over a year ago for gathering and it's working fine to get gold on many of the A quests; I haven't bothered doing anything of the sort with my left-side gear, it's just current. Dunno how it is on crafters though.
so you're making assertions about content you aren't even doing why exactly are you commenting here if you aren't even doing the content and making assumptions like i said Red alerts are maybe 3 a day if you are lucky. you can't "abuse" red alerts.
