Free Company Credits

[Thorauku]

Before 2.1 patch, racking up FC Credits is pretty much easy due to FATE spamming, but since the patch came in, wherein most people doesn't do FATEs anymore, our Free Company noticed that we're spending more FC Credits than what we're saving each day.

To make it simpler, is it possible for the DEV team to put FC Credits as a reward by doing instanced dungeons, or better yet lower the cost of FC Credits?

This may not be a problem for large free companies who farmed alot of credits pre-2.1, but for those new small FC's, this is becoming a problem for us. We'll ran out of credits maybe not now, but sooner or later we will.

Tier 2 perks and running 2 at a time is a credit drain!

Indeed it is. I was talking with my FC the other day about how once tier 3 abilities come out the difference between small, medium, and large guilds will become bigger. Small guilds can't hope to support two tier two's for long, and a medium sized guild that is large enough probably can. I'm guessing tier 3 would work the same way in such that only a large guild can truly support it.

I guess the real question now is how large a guild should be required to sustain two tier 2's at break even.

Instead of asking the devs to hand you easier FC credits, why not put together a plan to maintain them or slow down the usage.

Silver platter, casuals, blah blah blah you know the deal.

Edit: The above line was sarcasm, I guess people didn't get that from the "blah blah blah" part. While it would be nice to have new ways to get FC points, I maintain that slowing down your usage and/or increasing income through FC credit farming is a better way to do it in the long run.

Well then you just found the perfect FC event to get your members to do something togheter, fate hunting for FC buffs.

This is what my FC does, we have a 2nd "raid" night where we alternate weeks between FATE farming and Map spamming for housing fund.

Solution: Continue doing fates?

I know i know you want to be able to both do dungeons as its faster leveling AND get company credits at the same time.

Unfortuenly since theres very few reasons to do fates as it is, adding credits to dungeons will only make even less players do them.

And yes higher tier of buffs will cost more credit but its not like they are game breaking, its just an added benefit for those beeing able to obtain that much credits.

There is by no means I'm asking the devs to hand us FC credits easily. I'm just asking for another option to get it.

@Devils_Lawyer
Yes, if only FATEs are not a ghost town anymore.

@Meshico
We are working hard. But as I've said, we're spending more credits than what we're saving each day. Due to the cost of each Tier 2 FC buffs and how limited our options are.

Been there done that. There's almost no incentive for us anymore to spam FATEs as most of us already have complete jobs, aside from the credits ofcourse.

That's why I'm asking the devs to put FC credits in instanced dungeons, that's what they're trying to implement since 2.1 patch anyway.

If anyone thinks that this suggestion is spoon-feeding, think again. We'll still work our ass of to gain FC Credits, and by no means handling it to us easier. We just want another option of farming FC Credits equivalent to the FC Credits rewards from spamming FATEs.

Sure we can use DoL to gather points, but here's the thing, it's a 1:1 ratio, and we need atleast 3,010 clicks / day just to save for Tier 1 buff. How much more for the Tier 2 buff that costs 6,020 credits? And that's for a single "non-gamebreaking" buff alone.

Assuming we're at Rank 8, you need atleast 6,020 credits (T1 buff) and 12,040 credits (T2 buff) / day so that we can atleast enjoy the purpose of having a Free Company buff / day.

Get more active members....

i don't see what the issue is we have well over 6 million credits cant spend them fast enough. Do things together as a free company / helping your members and have a larger player base and better community.

You answerd my point exacly, you dont WANT to grind fates to get fc credits, you want them earned when doing something you WANT to do such as dungeons.

But sometimes you have to do stuff you dont like in order to be able to obtain stuff you do like.
