Currently, the only feasible way to get usable endgame DoH/DoL gear is by trading red scrip for the i180 gear. The favor gathering system, combined with the low weekly cap on red scrip gathering, makes the process to craft i170 even less appealing than it already is (due to the lack of reasonably available Tier V materia for gatherers and crafters).

It currently takes almost 3 months to gather enough red scrip to outfit a single class (and this is if you aren't wasting capped scrip on favors- heavily RNG-influenced chances to gather a tiny amount of the many items needed to craft a single piece of i170 gear).

Will this experience be adjusted/improved in the next patch?
