I would switch sides to Zodiark if it helps to remove the light parts restrictions from the workshop

There has been a thread here since 2015 and getting bumps every year to remember the devs of this issue ... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...etting-tedious

... but so far we have been 100% ignored it seems. So I support ANYTHING to remind them of what truly makes the workshop so problematic and underused, and how pointless and punishing for smaller FCs the light party requirement is.

The light party requirement isn't necessary per se, but there needs to be something to serve as a severe obstacle to "solo" FCs reaping the benefits meant for actual FCs. My own FC is also pretty small and we don't really have issues meeting it. We just coordinate in Discord.

Then you are lucky, but honestly if a feature in the game requires us to coordinate with outside tools it is already questionable. And in smaller FCs where some members more frequently also unsub for a while (which is not an uncommon thing) ... good luck, you will need it.

I'm not averse to SOME restrictions, but having people afk in the workshop in their valuable play time they pay for with their subs is just BAD design. As is punishing smaller FCs with this specific 4-man restriction.

And honestly... what would be so HORRIBLE about solo/tiny FCs also getting airships and the like without having to drag friends into their workshop for afking? Let them, if that's their cup of tea. The massive amount of mats required, generating FC credits for this etc. is/can be already challenging enough, esp. for solo/small FCs.

Found Antique Vessels at the catacombs with 180 Surv. Only one of my four subs brought one back so it might be rare. It’s a table top item, but doesn’t glow like the undersea spoils. Looks nice though. Golden chalice, vase, and long specter looking item. Link- https://imgur.com/gallery/pCH6bsh

Got the html version of my sub planner up. No ads, no Cookies, just a ton of sloppy coding.

edit: also, the html version adds in bonuses for rank 60, so below that it will be off for you

White Mamba, congrats on the red boule! What was your favor for that ship (since I see it didn't get two hits)?

[WhiteMamba]

Thx. Favor was 135. No double roll on Central Charnel Trench > Catacombs.

Is there any trick to getting better performance on the new zones? Four different ships/builds, and I can't seem to break C-rank except in rare cases... and I haven't seen any Cocobolo Lumber except on B-ranks or better. It's holding up our getting the Modified ships...

you don't need any outside tool, all you need is party finder or a linkshell dedicated for workshop.
