How do ppl do it?

[Hysterior]

Do 1/2 CM run a day (never any issue) then go craft
Day after do 1/2 CM run, then help a FC member with his dungeon
Do 1 CM and 1 AK then go gather in the woods then take cute picture

Not that hard really ^^

The way I deal with it is easy. I am not grinding anything. I am not in a race. Its going to take 4.5 months to get full AF2 F-it don't stress just run enough primal fights and AK to get your 300 myth tomes a week and do other stuff. I am full DL minus the cowl playing casual like this and game is still new.

I agree, don't rush just chill do your CM's and AK's and Primals if you want. don't worry about other players, do your own thing.

From what i've read leveling rep on WoW was worse and i've played alot of Korean grinding MMOs in the past now they were bad.

spiritbinding level 45+ HQ white jewelries, helm, belt and gloves (melded with any cheap materia to increase spiritbonding rate by 20%) makes it worth your while, 12 CM runs netted me about 1.2m gold (non legacy server) or 900k-1m gold without selling the philosophy items. make sure to get mats of the spiritbind equips and ask someone to make it for you, if you buy the equips directly from marketboard, your net gain will be a lot lower, I gathered the materials and ask for a crafter to craft them all to HQ, 1k tip per craft, the tips cost me 57k, and the materia melding (250 tip each) cost me 14720, the raw materials cost me around 30k. so the investment is around 100k, and after 12 CM runs, you get 1200 philosophy points, with lots and lots of expensive materias to sell.

How do people run these places 60+ times to get geared up without going insane?

I think they going insane , i got insane lol , but also ppl's who doing it have understanding that "Have to be Done" for real

Well, with our FC we pretty much optimized those runs at their limit. We clear CM in just over 20 mins. AK in under 20 minutes. (Both using our own developed version of speed running)

Do it with your FC, not in duty finder and it should be way less painful.

When you have to distract yourself from the game while playing it, you know there's a problem.

I said the same exact thing in a linkshell last night. Whether it's gathering or Philo farming, I'm always doing something else at the same time.

As for the OP's question, distractions from the mindless grinding helps me personally. With 2 screens i can play the game while watching tube or whatever. The content we have now and the means to get the gear just lacks variation.

If 2.1 doesn't change this, a lot of people will probably quit. =/

back in the day we had these things called linkshells and ppl with the same intrest would gather together for a common goal
So we didnt have to deal with "tools" and we could get the job done asap. True story.
