    Hope this is working as intended (for the most part - the clusters... could use a bit of a nerf... ^^
    I sincerely believe the amount of crystal is intended, but the amount of clusters is wrong, plus they didnt consider, or completely forgot how easily you can refresh nodes making the ephemeral node spawn trivial.

    But it's not trivial... no matter if you use the refresh trick or not, getting back 600 GP is no joke. You can't get back 600 GP in the time it takes you to go tag two nodes and walk back to the Ephemeral unless maybe you have a hi-cordial. Those have a cooldown of several minutes on them, so this isn't really spammable per se and the fact that you can make the Ephemeral node repop almost instantly is pretty much a moot point.

    Well yeah, but regular Cordial costs peanuts in Grand Company, 300 gp on 5 min Cooldown, plus your idle GP regen rate. We are still seeing a very good Cluster income per hour =P
