Primed FC buffs

[OliverB]

Any word on making these tradable? It's pretty annoying when you have to join/leave your 16 FCs two times a week to keep all your tier 3 FC buffs on the same character.

Personally haven't heard a thing, but it's not that annoying... takes me like 6 minutes every 3 days to cycle through other FCs. It'd be nice if they were tradeable, but compared to other things like having to click plants or retainers a million times to repeat something, it's personally not that much of an inconvenience.

Edit: 16 FCs? You don't even need that many... You only need 6 FCs in total (your primary and 5 others) to be able to keep them topped up and still be building up a surplus.

Unless you want two tier 3 buffs up at once since we can only have one tier 3 up at a time. Six variations of the charger and they never put more than one tier 3 slot in it. :|

Sorry I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

You would use 14 charged tier 3 wheels in a week (7 days, 2 a day) and each takes 70 hours to charge. 70 hours each for 14 buffs is 980 hours, but of course only 168 hours in a week, so need 5.8 (6) FC's working on it to keep ahead of requirements.

Every 3 days send a character round to pick them all up, end up back in the main FC and add 6 more actions (3 days worth) to the FC action list at the same time. Repeat in 3 days time.

Brain fart. Was thinking 7 days charge time, not 70 hours. Would still be nice if we got some more tier 3 slots to use in one charger.

This all sounds like so much work for so little gain...

Maybe? I guess it depends on the size of the FC/how many players are taking advantage of it and what buffs you're running.

I use to mix ours up, but now we only run Heat of Battle 3 (15% extra battle exp) and Reduced Rates 3 (40% teleport cost reduction) as they benefit pretty much everyone every day. Even our all 70s still benefit from reduced teleport costs and while 40% might not sound a lot, it soon adds up. If you teleport from SB areas to ARR/HW areas instead of 999 it's only 599, 400 gil saved with every teleport

15% exp and 40% off costs sounds like a lot.
But for next to no work you can have 10% exp and 30% off teleports.

So in reality, they're doing all this work for 5% exp and 10% off teleports.

For the love of the FC so that the members may benefit

I would stick with the level II buffs which aren't that much worse personally. But I don't pay for teleports, so maybe it is worth it lol.
