    GP Restoring

    I am getting a little grumpy at the fact that I will log out for the night. Come back 9 hours later and login only to see that I still only have 100 GP because it didn't "restore" while I was logged off.

    This needs to be adjusted. Whether we get a full restore on log out and login, or whether the game realizes the time difference and actually fills it up.

    People would complain if it filled with a mere logout/in.....but if enough rl time has actually passed that you would have naturally filled up again, then I see nothing wrong with that. It should be full.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On a side note regarding job cd reset out in the field changing jobs:

    Don't like any of the cd wait times for simply changing combat jobs....nothing more annoying then finding a dead player .....switching to whm and saying, just wait for cd.....*crickets*........vaccums bedroom while waiting......ummm .....still waiting............*crickets*......sorry its not ready yet..........drool begins to drip from the corner of my mouth.....ahhh screw it.

    I don't agree but understand why we cant change jobs while in combat..we shouldn't be able to if anyone in the pt is in combat either.....but if one is out of combat, in the field, cd should be reset immediately upon changing jobs.
    So paranoid the game is sometimes -.-

    I can see the wait times for things like gathering GP gain so we cant gather toooooo many mats..k fine, but on combat jobs? Oo. its just a huge inconvenience that is not necessary for the type of outdoor content we even have atm.

    Not that this answers your problem, but keep in mind Cordials are nice for an emergency GP boost if a node is about to disappear on you. They're available for 500 GC marks, leve rewards, or from Beast Tribe merchants.

    Also agree the ridiculously long CD timer for switching jobs. I understand a wait, but it's so long that I don't know why I bother switching sometimes.

    IIRC you get 5 GP back every few seconds. It works out to being 300 GP regenerated per game hour. YOu also get 5 GP back per swing at a node (except for swings clearing away the obstruction at unspoiled nodes).

    With 1 game hour being about 3 RL minutes, waiting for GP to recover is a nuisance but not a big one.

    That's fine for normal nodes, but not for timed nodes where you need 600 gp on each of them. Especially with how close spawns are and the fact that they only stay up for 50-55 game minutes.

    I disagree, if you know the locations for your node spawns you can regen your 600 gp w/in the windows but it is something you have to be mindful of. When I need ALL THE THINGS: 9 Chyshal greens>11 adamantite ores>1 folklore node>3 folklore node>5 folklore node>7 folklore node Start rotation over, if it ever gets hairy pop a cordial! I rarely need ALL THE THINGS but this is how I roll. Ofc it is different if you need other nodes and then you adjust accordingly. It can be done but you have to be thinking and knowing where you are going next.

    It would be great if there was a GP restore slot at nodes, that would restore a set amount of GP (more than the normal 5 per swing). That way the player has a choice, either collect an item, or restore some GP quicker. Plus, it would add more complexity to rotations. I'm not sure what it could be...maybe 50? 100?

    IMHO GP restoration should be a percent value instead of that fixed 5 per few secs. 5 points is ok on lower levels but it's a snorefest when you're repeatedly waiting for 600 points to regen. Oh well, I guess the cordial vendors need to feed their families too. And pay the rent.
