Allow us to buy Sands of Time with Soldiery

[Wobble]

The system is already broken enough with hunts.

[Veerne]

I would agree with this but the cost would have to be something like 1500 soldiery each. And oils for 1000 or something.

How Can Sands Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real

[Firepower]

I don't do coil but I don't think sands of time should be soldiery based that's a little too simple, maybe some quest line on a weekly reset like the primal focus quest. nobody complained that anybody using the primal reward weapons were not as good as coil goers because garuda, titan, ifrit extreme wasn't a joke back then some even suggesting titan ex being equally difficult as coil turns 1-4.

I feel disappointed in this patch 2.2-2.4 that there hasn't been any outside of coil difficult objectives (mog, levi, ramuh, much simpler than titan) but this is also reflected in the fact they only reward i100 gear.

I don't do coil simply because i cant static no matter what. When one day you work from 1pm-9pm and the next your working from 9pm-5am or you have Monday Tuesday off one week and Friday, Saturday the next i just simply avoid doing something that would cause stress.

This whole thread went from a bad idea to a whole lot of special real quick...

Sands and oils are retardely easy to obtain from hunts. Plus no cap so able to farm as many as you want (personal time allowing of course) in a short peroid of time. Which invalidates sand and oil from SCoB. 2 sands, 2 oils split between 8 people per week. Syrcus tower will have a weekly cap of 1 sand or oil per week with, I assume, 2.35.

So where exactly is the problem of being able to buy 1 sand or oil per week with soldiery? They are already given out hand over fist with hunts, which, with the zerg train are even easier than the dungeons that you could run to earn the soldiery to buy them with. Pre hunts we used to decide who would get the sands/oils that week based on who needed it most or what would be beneficial to the raid as a whole. Now, who cares, open loot.

Not to mention it would probably cut down on the zerg as some do hunts because it is the only way to obtain sands outside of coil at the moment. Then when 2.35 rolls around and sand is added to ST, most will already have what they wanted already.

it's not reasonable to say 4 hours per sand like it's something anyone can do anytime, it's only possible when all timers reset.

It is possible though.

First 3 days after the patch I did hunts for about 3 - 4 hours a day. Got 5 sands, 2 oils out of it.

Maybe like 375 Sol for one? Got nothing else to use it for really. Hate having to be forced to spend it because of cap.

Why not simply suggesting buy log for myth if the reason was "nothing else to use" ?
It takes 1300sol for each unweathered weapon, i think you still have job can use it at the moment? ^^;

[Alistaire]

Ya know, this is the kind of thing where the response should almost be "why the hell not?" It'd be a retarded expenditure of soldiery anyway unless you only play 1 job.
