    Suggestion: More Apkallu Egg

    Would it be possible to give apkallu the same treatment that the sheeps got in Coerthas?

    Apkallu are only on one area, limited in number and their eggs are required for so many cooking recipe.

    Thank you

    There are leves you can do at Costa del Sol with Apkallu in them that also drop the eggs. Not as many in them, of course, but they're yours and only yours.

    Oh wow is that why there is such a high demand to farm them? XD

    I was wondering why there were usually 10 people fighting for the birds in Costa Del Sol. Last I saw they weren't that expensive on my server so I've never tried to farm them for profit. Haven't checked in a while but last time I sold some, they went for 250 a piece.

    I like the idea, but then those that try to cook for profit are going to be sad. However though, it would start to cut down on bots since the items will no longer yield a profit for them to profit. Also, do the same for night milk, starting to see a trend of bots starting to farm them.

    I am opposed to this.
    I do not farm them, BUT SE adjusting drops and putting once harder to farm items on NPCs is the main cause for the economic disruptions we have seen. If I had my way the NPC should only sell mats that you need to get to level 10 in any crafting and let the players (Land and hand) provide the rest.
    Why even have DOL and to some extent DOH if every time someone needs a mat and either has to by it or find it in the wild complains and SE just puts it on a vendor?

    More than one spawn/drop location for any item I can get behind and agree with.

    p.s . Bot are not really a big deal, you can mess them up big time but hijacking the agro and resetting the mobs. And then report them and hope SE does what they have said that the would do in the past and ban-hammer them.

    Can we just get a new Disciple of Land already? Scavenger, or something. Rather than Nodes showing up on rocks/trees/bushes, unique enemies spawn when it uses it's equivalent to Triangulate/etc. A Docile Dirmite spawns where Dirmites are, lets you harvest web, a Fresh Adlgoat lies dead and lets you harvest skins/horns, Apkallu Nest you can steal eggs from and sheep you can sheer...

    Please? I really dislike having to murder sheep and apkallu...

    You should rephrase this statement. You should say "Would it be possible to spam more Apkallus in different locations rather than increasing drop rate percentages/quantity? I don't want to destroy Eorzea's economy, I just want to compete and have fun while doing so!"

    More spawn points for Ornery Karakuls in Coerthas were added. That's the similar treatment I would like to see given that apkallu eggs are required for 7 of the level 40+ cooking recipes. They are artificially scarce and camped by botter, restricting access to the rest of us.

    No, they also increased the amount of wool that drops to like 8 per karakul, and you could also buy them at a npc vendor. It was total overkill.

    Scarcity is a good thing, but you're not thinking about the health of the market you just want something and want it now.

    Fleece and Diremite was increased in drops since they are needed to level up weaver if you follow the tiers rather then spam craft lower level stuff.

    Apkallu eggs is not needed to level up cooking and should not be changed since they are a legimit way to make money, atleast on my server.
