    Reward for weekly FATE challenges seems appropriate. I see people comparing spamming FATEs for tomes to expert roulette, but you can only do expert once a day.

    And yet you can still spam experts and cap in a day without a problem.

    JUST A THOUGHT, I still need to cap for the week because I'm lazy and I don't really feel like spamming dungeons at the moment.
    Join a hunt discord. You get a 120 tomes really fast last afternoon/evening with 12/12 Shb hunt trains. They ping if you request it with trains on the various servers. I have it set for trains, S ranks and boss fates. I'm doing less and less dungeons with my alts given the trains are so fast. They also give a ton of Goetia and Nuts.

    120 Phanta
    240 Goetia
    480 Nuts

    Eh, nuts don't do anything for me.

    I was mostly thinking it would be nice to mindlessly spam something while watching a show or movie and still make some weekly progress.

    If you want fun tomes spam Hidden Gorge. It's fast queues during peak hours and doesn't take an hour like Praetorium does to complete. You get 5 Moogle tomes per match win or lose. Plus you work towards the Gorilla mounts.

    It might be reasonable to reward tomestones if you do it enough, but 5 tomestones is way too high.

    That would mean that 20 fates gives 100 tomestones, which is about what you get for doing a combined leveling roulette, expert roulette, and main scenario roulette. You can burn through 20 fates extremely fast, even in max-level zones like The Tempest.

    Making it more like 1 tomestone for a fate is much more reasonable.

    An expert dungeon outside of roulette gives 50 tomestones for typically about 20 minutes of work. Maybe 3 tomestones for a FATE would be better, but 5 is really not that much in comparison to running dungeons, and 1 would make them still pointless.

    Except people would not just do one fate and call it quits. They would spam them. The little insignificant single-digit number would add up really fast. You don't want to challenge the in-place incentives to run actual dungeons and roulettes for tomestones. Other sources are supposed to be additional 'trickle' sources and nothing more.

    1 single expert roulette gives you 100 (I could be wrong by 10 or something), and takes less than doing 20 fates. So it doesn't really seem unbalanced to me, to give 5. Maybe something less, but 1 is ridicolous.
