    Apkallu Eggs

    Can you guys please increase the number of apkallu mobs/spawn locations for them? Or at least increase the number of eggs that drop off of each apkallu?

    At least on Excalibur these mobs are farmed 24/7 by usually 2+ people and I think there's only around 12 (edit: actually more like 17-18) of them. I feel like the high demand for apkallu eggs (like diremite webs, fleece, etc) wasn't considered when the team decided to have so few ways of obtaining them.

    Same thing on Hyperion. Sometimes I'll get lucky at odd hours and find the area pretty well empty, but usually there are two or three people farming them.

    Same on all the servers I'm sure. For mine its early in the morning like 7am.. just don't have the time then to farm as work calls. It gets so bad at times you have to guard your one spot like it was your life blood and if you don't have an aoe spam your SOL.

    Why have mobs drop anything at all. Just make everything for sale. More drops wont solve anything, except help kill the economy even more.

    It was considered - Yoshi knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to remove "overworld grinding" because kids decided it's "outdated". We went from 3-5 apkallu camps with about 12-20 each to..this.

    Same with Diremite web and fleece. They'll never increase mob count because it has to fit in line with "no overworld grinding", so sadly, have to just deal with it. They increased webs but didn't on these eggs...heck they even increase skin drops on stuff there's NO demand for. They may as well add everything to vendors since resale price is useless anyway, so buying wouldn't hurt anything.

    Personally, I like the competition. People are usually pretty fun about it on Balmung at least. I'm used to FFXI where mobs took about 5-10min to spawn and you still got outclaimed. There's a pretty wide area where the Apkallu spawn and they respawn pretty quickly as it is. If you really want to gurantee you get drops, make a farming party. It sounds silly at first, but if you are having trouble getting spawns, you can at least have a chance. I've made a few friends that way . On my BRD I can get about half a stack in 30min or less, which is plenty.

    It'll just shift to another mob after a "fix". Just like the Webs.

    What? You seem misinformed... they DID increase web/fleece mob count and spawn locations AND drop rates. I don't get the point you're trying to make.
