Thread: 4.1 retainers bringing back walls

Just standard Quick Ventures. Don't even need to have high enough stats to remove the warning about rare items; I've had two walls already (the first was the first ever sold on my server so I made bank, but nobody is ever going to buy the second).

Battle retainers or gatherering?

My gathering retainers have brought me two walls and one roof this week from quick ventures. What they bring seems to go in cycles.

Well I'm yet to see this. I keep getting fish and dungeon gear lol

Now back on topic. My lovely retainers have tanked the "Sky Rat" and "Sky Pirate" market, as well as the market for walls.

I'm hoping that we'll get new airship ventures soon with new stuff to find (possibly in Eureka), or even submarines or something an FC can work on together.

And I keep hoping for other uses for all this chimera hide, potter's stone and Vivianite I keep collecting.

Same, same, same. Walls for days. Sky Rat for days.

I think crafting walls was intended to be not a big deal because it's an FC project, so a large amount of people would each make a small contribution. In reality it's usually just one person doing all the work rather than a collaboration, so it's a big deal for one person to gather or buy that huge amount of materials by themselves, and then they are forced to rope people in just for the progression cutscene part. I'm trying to imagine what true craft or gather party content would look like. Maybe they send a light party out to a designated area and you search for some kind of treasure like a hot or cold game, a message after you deplete a mode telling you if you sense something nearby or not. Once discovered some special nodes pop on everyone's map and you meet there to gather some unique item until a progress bar fills and mission complete. Something simple. Then you're all rewarded a large quantity of crafting mats, the kind that are needed for FC projects.

We usually manage to get at least 4 or 5 people gathering for our projects and our members are very generous with the materials you get from the GC but even, then the walls are a huge investment of time and GC Seals. I'm shocked retainers are bringing these items back (I don't bother with the quick ventures).

There is so little content for Free Companies to do together and this just undermines it. I really feel that the crafted walls should remain FC exclusive.

I just got the moogle cottage house thingy.

Quick ventures battle.
