How do I get scrips?

[Syrehn]

You get scrips via blood, sweat, tears and your firstborn child. SE has made gathering and crafting super retardstix with the hefty time sink involved with scrips and their associated items. @_@

Edit: Not sure if the links already posted contain the gathering clock or not, but if they don't and you don't have it: http://ffxivclock.com

They're timed, but not so much IRL as it is in-game time (ET Eorzean Time). Most unspoiled nodes spawn at each AM/PM of their time. For example, the unspoiled node for Adamantite Ores will spawn at 11a.m. AND 11p.m. ET. This means every 30min IRL, the node will spawn. I really wouldn't consider this poor design, given that they want to it have some moderate degree of rarity (similar to how its been since 2.0 launched), and not just something you can freely bot for 24hrs a day non-stop.

Thank you so much for clarifying that information. When I read about certain nodes being up at like 11 am/11 pm for example I figured it meant REAL time. Every 30 minutes is much much more manageable. This I can live with. Thanks.

Where does it actually say the current time in Eorzea?

Your clock time is in the top right of your screen. If you click it you can cycle through LT (Local Time), ST (Server Time), and ET (Eorzea Time).

Clicking the on-screen clock (top right of the screen unless you've moved it elsewhere) will toggle it between showing Eorzean Time (ET), Server Time (ST), and Local Time (LT). Since server time isn't really useful for anything, and your watch can tell you what time it is locally, I'd recommend keeping the on-screen clock set to showing Eorzean Time.
