Blue Gatherer Scrips

[m3eansean]

Yeah you're not understanding what I'm trying to say Zorlinta.

You will realize when you get to the legendary nodes that require folklore tomes. It is impossible to gather them with just Scrip gear.

Nope, you can get the collectables needed with NQ lvl 55 items from churning mist npc/job quest rewards items. The only trouble maybe will be jewerly, but lvl 50 stuff is fine with just normal meld if you need Gath or Perc. (or well if you have a supra/foragers gear have no trouble at all). And food, npc food from foundation is good too .

Fisher need mostly pray for good RNG, and on BTN/MINER there are good rotations, though you may just be getting one collectable per time.

As you can see from my earlier post simply having the 55 NQ equipment items is not enough. And level 50 equipment most certainly isnt. (lucis aside)
I've seen a lot of posts claiming this, but im not certain how you can argue against hard facts.

Reaching the required stats requires some melds (perception or gp) and using food (perception or gp, the one you didnt meld). The further away from 60/59 (for the tools) you are, the more melds you would need.


Please dont give the false advice that ''NQ equipment will be enough'', but rather give actual tips that will help someone that is struggling to obtain scrips.


Personally it annoyed me to hell to have people say ''its easy to collect scrips'' except I couldnt, not untill I did some heavy gear upgrades. I didnt have anywhere near the required perception level, and it would have saved me some frustration if someone had pointed this out.

Sad heard you had troubles on that.

As fisher the only trouble i have was getting the gobling jig lure & get into a good pool to can fish because i was low on MSQ compared to my fisher level.

I begin with melded fisher set and lucius weapon, but thar was lvl 50-53, also equipment i got from job quest were better than what i was wearing, so im switched to it, also replaced my overmelded gather/perception battle jewerly for some HQ lvl 50 and some NQ lvl 54 (wich have same stats with mats i had) to improve my gp and can use patience.
By the time i was level 58 and got a goblin jig & get into pool to fish with those new equipment, got no troubles in obtain 2 or 3 fish collectables per game day to exchange into scrips.

For fisher though gathering helps to catch the fish (but get away probability allways exists), and perception helps to get it hq but also is a good RNG chance involved. With new skill patience probability to get HQ improves (also the probability to get a good collectable item). So with food with extra perception and new skills (some cordials may help).

Well ... one thing I think you're overlooking is they had kind of talked about both red and blue scrips at the same time.

I suspect that red scrips will be gatherable with blue scrip gear. Its the red scrips that are going to allow you to use those Folklore nodes.

Though they may add more nodes, I don't think they are going to add many, as there are a lot of items (especially from the current folklore nodes) that have no use. So while they will add a lot of recipes, I believe most of those will make use of those materials rather than all new materials.

I am still clueless about this collectable stuff.

And only L 54 BOT.

BUT I am in all 2.55 fully mended BiS (not optimally on the offhand). 633 GPs, gathering 492, perception 468. So I know I qualify. 652 GPs with cheap vendor food but then again I can casually HQ dzemal au gratin.

Good quick guide on colectables for the complete idiot?

Good 650 GP rotation?

Thanks

for NQ gear try this to collect the lvl 56 items, its only a ~50% chance for 1 collect but thats all you get with low gear:
Requirements are lvl 55/54 NQ left side gear + primary tool(bought from the churning mists-moghome), 53 NQ secondary tool (quest reward), 400 GP, no melds, no food -it doesnt get cheaper than this
I should mention that i tested this at lvl 60 and im not exactly sure if this changes the perception requirements
Rotation:
1: Impulsive Appraisal (30% chance to get the Discerning Eye Buff which counts for Impulsive Appraisal and the following Appraisal skill! )
2: Impulsive Appraisal - if you didnt get Discerning Eye at least once by now then you can stop here and must try again next time
3: Utmost Caution + Methodical Appraisal
4a: Utmost Caution + Discerning Eye + Methodical Appraisal
or 4b: Utmost Caution + Single Mind (lvl 57) + Methodical Appraisal - in the rare case that your collectability is 364+ after step 3 (means u got the DE buff from both Impulsive Appraisals), you can collect twice then!
