Red Scripts (gathering)

[silverhope]

Remember when gathering was relaxing? when if you wanted to farm some items you could.. remember when your life didnt revolve around the ingame clock? Well I remember and miss it.

Rant inc.

after lvling both mining and bot I started to farm scripts, than I had to buy a full hq set and meld perc onto it so I could gather the folklore items. So my gear is pretty good right now. I have 3mining and 1 bot folklore book atm. And this is from spamming the nodes on time and taking cordials like a drug addict. So the end was in sight of getting all my books and being done with this horrible gathering timer.. NOPE

My timers [5am.7am,10am/pm,12am/pm,2am/pm 5pm (soon to have 7pm]

Today they added red scripts and you need to collect the folklore items and get 8... 8!! scripts per turn in... Im sure crafter are not to happy about this either since most of the new mats use red scripts and random other items I have no idea where to get yet.

But you say "well i got alot of the mining books sure you can get the 5am and 7am node to help" well nope both items for scripts today are 5am mining. so thats prolly 1 roweena red script over the time span of 3 hours irl. Guess the only way to fix this is to spam for the rest of my folklore books so I can gather atleast 2 nodes every hour.

Time nodes were ok in 2.0 you had the ones for a few rare items and they were once an irl hour so you could go do stuff and come back and grab what you need. I feel like im glued to my computer due to all the timers and its really taking the joy out of gathering. And ontop of that with the collectibles you make ZERO gil.. Thats why we lvled these classes and yet we have to finish this now even longer gathering go round to get where we can make some gil

TLDR: Tiered of being tied to the clock, red script items need there points raised
