    Jeebus the red script grind is real.

    I don't have the gil to lighten the grind by buying new gear. None of my leves are offering hi-cordials. Once my stockpile runs out I'll only be getting 16 scripts per hour and that's with both btn and min at level 60. Heaven-for-fing-bid I mess up my rotation. No greens or ores which mean zero scripts for wasting an hour of my life.

    I feel like catching up is already impossible because I wasn't into crafting or gathering at 50.

    How.. how are people expected to do this?

    I hope so. It wouldn't be so bad if I had the millions of gil required to get my gear up to par. I don't though.

    Can't even get that. That's probably about 2mil gil on my server give or take. I just don't have the money. I've been trying to break into the market but nothing.

    You only need 600GP and 510 perception. You should be able to get that with blue scrip gear NQ accessories, NQ tools, and some food. You will need a little money for the tools and accessories but blue scrip gear is free.

    EDIT: It sounds like your already getting some red scrips so it'll get easier once you get some red scrip gear, if your low on money/perception.

    I have better gear then this.

    I get Chysahl Greens x2 at 9am/pm and Adamantite Ore x2 a 11am/pm. That's the best I can do (edit: maybe! hopefully i'm missing something). I do not need a hi-codrdal unless I'm running late. That's about 32 scripts per real life hour. To cap I need at least 15 real life hours (is this a conservative estimate). That's not including other stuff like esos and alex. The time sink is nuts.

    Max GP does not effect GP regeneration.

    Yes. Despite the replies they all missed the only error in your post which is your calculations: (16 scrips per hour)
    4x x = 8 items per hour. Which is 8x8 = 64 scrips per hour.
    Even with low stats you should be able to get 2x per node.
    You can also get normal cordials off the marketboard (they should be cheap) or directly from the GC vendor.

    Level cul and wait for your red scrips to ask for deep fried okeanis. Buy the okeanis tails and make this 45 or so times and you're done.

    Only took me an hour to cap with that. I hear goldsmith is even easier on some turn ins.

    Dunno about gatherer scrips though, haven't bothered with those.

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.
