how to get 150-250 clusters per ephemeral node. Money!

With fishing you cant refresh the node though, so youre getting about the same because its slower to mooch them up. Using that one new skill that increases hq (helps with mooching) takes 470 gp. So yes I agree completely with you. I have reduced some of the tupuxuaras and pteranodons.

(edit also I meant to quote Shai oh well ^^; )

Right. It's regulated by different rules than the other two jobs, and yes you can use GP to ease the process along.

My point is I'm not using some sneaky combination of tricks or skills that the developers didn't plan for.

I'm just fishing up a fish and its giving me a ton of clusters. No tricks. It's completely intentional.

To be honest, its actually good we get several clusters and crystals from the moraines.
The prices on some of the servers I have seen is downright ridiculous. The pricing needs to come down. Its shouldnt cost 3-4k in crystals (not including the cost of materials) just to make a level 51 piece of armor etc...

Likely this has nothing to do with the maintenance. Aether took an additional 40 mins on their maintenance to bring the servers up after the scheduled maintenance, and shortly after Mana and Gaia data centers started having issues. If anything the emergency maint, is in regards to that.

Especially when the armor requires multiple archaeoleather, each one requiring 3 archaeoskins (low droprate) + 1 coethan tea leaf (unspoiled node item).
The difficult to obtain mats were a shock to me at first, but I like the idea that crafting is more about materials now than collecting RMT Skittles.

Eh, considering my profit margin on HQ gathering and crafting equipment, the crystals are pretty negligible, even at their current prices. As it is, I can scrape together maybe 30k in mats, and turn them into something that will sell on the market board for 200k (yeah, Siren is a little stupid, bless its heart).

Servers are up. Checked out a node. Working the same as ever, to the surprise of no one who actually knows what an exploit is.

by your logic running coil with echo would be an exploit too...

I think you're addressing the opposite of the person you think you're addressing.
