Free Company Credits

[Drivont]

Please let 3.1 have more ways to accumulate FC credits. Small FCs, working on multiple airships can't meet the demand on the credit costs of things. I'm using them up too fast, buying Ceruleum alone.


Maybe the Grand Company Delivery guy can give the options for seals OR FC credits?
even if it was 2:1 ratio?

Turning in GC deliveries already gives you a lot of FC points in comparison to other activities though. o.O

I spam thousands of points at a sitting by turning in cheap to make greens for Expert Delivery.

It's too much to buy airship fuel AND FC buffs. Fuel on its own is fine, if you do like Ashkendor said and do Expert Deliveries. (Roll on those 160 items in expert dungeons, trade them for FC seals and airship mats.) Although, with expert deliveries giving far more FC seals than any other activity, perhaps they could stand to buff the amount received from fates, dungeons, and quests.

The aetherial wheel really doesn't live up to its potential, since you can't make more than one buff of the same grade at the same time, you have to wait 3 days to charge buffs, and grade 2 and 3 buffs require limiting your airships to specific sectors day after day in hope of finding enough crystals and clusters. Fortunately they said they will address aetherial wheel concerns in 3.1.

You're talking about two different things. He wants more ways to get FC credits, not GC seals. Small FCs have trouble keeping the amount up since airship fuel is 9900 per stack (and you burn through it quickly) and the credits themselves are 30k 50k 70k for airship registration (I believe). You don't get FC credits from doing expert deliveries.

Yes you do. You get a lot. That's how I got my small FC from rank 1 - rank 8 in 2 days lol

We all worked together and crafted green items HQ ( lots FC points as well there ), turned in for expert delivery ( more FC points ) boom level level level.

Of course the stuff dropped from level 60 dungeons gives even more points....

As to OP. I understand your struggle. They need to add more ways and also increase the amount you get from certain activities. I don't see the harm.

Tell that to the 150k points I've racked up in the past few weeks feeding my GC madman's whispering rods and giantsgall weapons.

I stand corrected, I turned a valerian item in and received 120. Pitiful amount though with what the airships cost to maintain and build

Edit: for such a high level item compared to the GC seals you receive.

There is a hidden and ridiculous x3 FC credit bonus for pretty much anything you do as the only person online. Crafting a bunch of turn-ins and exchanging them for GC seals can yield surprising amounts of FC credits, if you can convince all your friends to log off.

I was going to say this. I also do hundreds of maps weekly. I have hit 100k probably 4 times since HW and am almost back up to 50k after two weeks. It isn't difficult in the slightest, if you put in the time and effort.

I love it when I can be the only person online. On the rare occasions that it happens, I do turn-ins until 2 others login.

It nets you 160-170 points per turn-in, which is huge when you're spamming cheap greens a stack at a time.
