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

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...

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).

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

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.

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.

Basically you have turn ins for your crafting jobs through leves, people took the lvl 45+ leves and pre made all the items in HQ to get double the exp.

So you take a leve with the triple turn in, HQ getting 800k per turn in. 2.4mil in one leve.

Working as intended. You made it sound like players were generating exp out of thin air while doing nothing, while only available only to players that know of the exploit. You have clearly explained they put work into it, are consuming leve allowances (limited resource), and that all players are free to do this so they choose to use their leves.

NOT an exploit.

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.

Glad everyone enjoyed my video, even if it got trageted as an exploit . Hope i was able to help the crafters and gathers.

So just another update, alot of people seem to think you need to "touch" all 3 nodes around the empherearl spawn point. All you need to do is touch two, one of the two points of the two nodes of your choosing.

I think the term exploit came into play when the leve quest exp for sub lvl 50 quests for over 50 players got brought into play
