    Considering taking a break until 3.1

    I just failed 2 crafts in a row for red scripts. I need about 1300 scripts at 22 per craft with a weekly cap of 450. One craft takes me 2 hours of mats. The amount of effort that goes in this is enormous.

    If i want to craft faster i'm looking at grinding chimeras or buying the manes. I don't have the money and i'm not prepared for an asian grind.

    I'll continue my Dragon Age 3 game and dust off the steam games. There's enough to keep me busy until 3.1, and longer if there is a need for it.

    What are they even preparing for 3.1? Does anyone have a link i can look at?

    EDIT: oh and grinding alexander does not interest me.

    As for the updates for 3.1, I believe they are bringing :

    1. New housing area (In Ishgard, snow, yay)
    2. New 24-man raid Void-ark
    3. 2 New 60+ dungeons (Expert?)
    4. New primals (?)
    5. More turns from Alexander (?) Not so sure.

    I don't think they've talked about the second Alex sector yet. Probably not coming in 3.1(when did SCoB get added?).

    What? How are scrips taking you that long?

    I just spent like 200k and capped it in 30 minutes...

    Granted, buying mats is kinda cheating, but none of the mats would have been very difficult to get.

    This, it shouldn't be taking you that long and I don't spend a dime, gather everything I need, made 12 birch fishing rods, was done with the whole thing in about 2 hours

    Oh and if your failing those easy crafts, you need to look at your rotations....

    And what the heck is an Asian grind lol

    Grinds commonly found in Korean or Japanese MMOs. I don't know if you've ever played Monster Hunter, but the MMO (Monster Hunter Frontier, haven't played it myself, but this is from what I've read on /r/MonsterHunter) can require over a dozen of one material obtained by killing the monster, this item has a drop rate of about 1% from each carve or item reward, so a 1% chance spread across 6 chances in a fight. Each fight taking 10-15 minutes if you're experienced, and one mess up can cost you a death (of which you have 3 before losing). Probably the reason the game wasn't localized. A more recent example would be ArcheAge where you can continually upgrade an item with very costly materials. If you happen to fail, you lose the item and have to start from scratch (I guess this could be compared to a failed meld, except with a far, far greater loss.

    FFXIV has nothing on the "asian grind".

    Labyrinth of the Ancients got added in 2.1, SCoB came with 2.2. Albeit Labyrinth should have been in at launch of 2.0 but due to balancing issues with it (was supposably too diificult) they delayed it for 2.1 which broke up the initial gear progression. 2/0 had ilvl 70 then ilvl 90 with tomestones and Coil. Labyrinth was ilvl 80.

    So new Alex will be 3.2 based off previous update content cycles. 3.3 next 24 man. 3.4 3rd Alex, 3.5 last 24 man. Then maybe onto 4.0.

    3.1 so far is

    1. Sharing houses not new area
    2. 2 expert dungeons one new and another hard mode version
    3. 24 man raid
    4. EM Singularity Reactor (not confirmed yet but numerous hints towards it from interviews/The Rising)
    5.Airship Exploration (cant say much from this because there hasn't been much on it i won't bold it just yet)
    6.Possible relic they said might get pushed to 3.15 i believe (depends how long it will take but i will bold this)
    7. Main Story Quest
    8.New primal like battle (I say primal like because they said primals won't always be in each patch now but there will be fights similar to them)

    Alexander wont come back again until 3.2

    Chances are it will just come down to the bold ones after release anyway

    If you're looking for some games to play try out odyssey abyss. It's currently on steam for $2 and is reminiscent of child of light.

    Killing floor 2 is also another fantastic l4d-esc shooter with great gunplay. I'm currently playing both of those and catching up on some anime until 3.1
