"Increased" red scrips for turn ins.

[LlenCoram]

Hmm... I was hoping for a reduction in the amount of tokens needed for gear. All this change means is I'll hit the cap faster, but since fishing is all I do anyway I was already hitting the cap the same day it reset.

I guess it's nice for those people who actually play the game :\.

I'd say the increase is pretty decent personally.

I admit I've not started hitting my face against the wall that is red crafting scrips yet, but it seems that changing harder crafts to give way more scrips, while keeping easy crafts cheap is a better method than just giving a flat % increase. You'd still be in the same situation of everyone levelling CUL to 60 to use the easiest/cheapest crafts.

Gathering is a nice buff, but I didn't really feel it was needed in the first place as you could farm 450 scrips pretty comfortably in about 3-4 hours (plus about 2000-2500 blue scrips).

What I wish they'd improve for gatherer is the favor grind - 11 1/2 hours a week is absolutely ridiculous.

How are you capping red gathering scrip in 3-4 hours?

I want to know this, too. Maybe you need to have all 3 gathering classes? I only fish. Capping is very difficult for me.

If you've got all three gathering classes and the unlocks, it wasn't /as bad/. You can get an average yield of ~5.2 basic and 2 Folklore collectibles every 30 minutes, for a total of 14.4 per hour. Under the previous numbers, it took ~57 collectibles to cap, so that's doable in just under four hours, maybe less with Fishing.

This requires you have at least two folklore books unlocked, heavy melds, and a lotta focus. You were looking closer to 5.5-6 hours doing just BTN and MIN base 60 nodes. If you only have one of the two gathering classes, it could hit 11 hours.

Most Red FSH collectibles overlap with nodes you'd need to hit instead, so you're also dependent on a getting Capelin or Loosetongues as your options if you want to mix them in with BTN and MIN work. The math on FSH collections is also far more complicated and less reliable than BTN or MIN, so dunno there.

Now it's closer to four hours just BTN and MIN basic nodes, under three with folklore.

I'm assuming he's getting lucky and actually getting Impulsive procs on his adamantite/greens node gathering (or has adequate perception for more than 1 legendary node collection)
