NIGHT TIME!!

I really hope they don't bring back the facing direction of synthing and time of day of it to get certain item thing there is in ff11... It lacks any rational to why it works and it just makes ff14 DoH unneedly complicated... Although by look of the blog post it is inevitable... T_T

Eorzea doesn't have specified days of the week, so it'd be quite difficult to calculate which direction you should be facing in the first place. Also, having multiple crystal shards required for some synths would mess that up as well. On top of that, we already have skills that increase HQ rate (at least we did at the end of 1.xx, I assume they'll be similar in A Realm Reborn).

That was clearly a nod to FFXI players by Fernehalwes.

::Sigh:: Just not the same with no Dalamud.

I agree. I'm gonna miss waiting to see how big it gets with every patch... Now we just have dumb, boring stars to look at!

It is not impossible for them to do it. If they have a time schedule then having a day schedule wouldn't be hard to make... And if I recall from the blog post they said a time they didn't say a date... So they can make it with respect to RL or in game time (they would have make it first) it would certainly be possible... I just hope they don't do it since it makes no sense why it works and makes it unneedly complicated...

They won't do it. There's absolutely no reason for them to do so. Don't worry.

There's no reason for them to do a lot of stuff yet they do it. You can't speak for SE really.

Oh, you're right. All those skills they worked on to improve crafting were just a cover for the RANDOM CHANCE of moon-phase crafting! That makes perfect sense!

The chance could be as low as 0,1~1% and you wouldn't notice. You can't say it's not in the game for sure.
With that blog post he brought it up again and there will be people who'll be facing directions unless it is completely denied by SE

Shame that you never played FFXIV, a game with a more severe RNG than XI.

Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time farming HQ darksteel and gold ore in FFXIV has noticed by now a difference in drop rate on new moon and full moon phases.

The only question is to what degree these things affect crafting and gathering. As you can see by my signature, I was an avid FFXI crafter and devoted all of my time to it. HQ theory crafting went to an extreme of testing whether equipping an elemental staff had an effect on the HQ rate but I can assure you that direction and time frames were the norm.

I noticed this as well. This is why SE will never confirm or deny it in regards to XIV since we do have phases as well as deities regarding this stuff in terms of lore alone.

They'll do it. There's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't do so. Be psyched.
