    Nerp. If FATES were an option, it would be the main source of acquiring these tomes and there would be no point using them to give incentive to run older instances. People would complain about tying yet more rewards to FATES and then do them anyway.

    This is entirely optional, so if you don't like the acquisition method then don't do it.

    Stil, in the vein of thought with this topic, I'd like FATES to have a bit more of something to them.

    Maybe while the Moogle thing is happening, you get one or two of those Tomestones when you finish gold in a FATE? That's a fun way to get them and do something while waiting for the DF to pop as a DPS lolz

    It makes sense to at least update the challenge logs to give some other currency in place of EXP rewards. There's little incentive for anyone at cap to do something that rewards EXP. Granted, there are debates about some of the currency being trivial, but right now as it stands, run all the roulettes for 2 days and you meet your weekly cap. So weekly tomes' value is already restricted by "450" a week, regardless of what you do, and any claim of flooding for things like the uncapped tomestones is moot since those floods last a few days at best.


    As a completely different sidenote, I'd rather see them retcon the shared fate system to old areas for other materials to farm and not just use retainers.

    If you say so.

    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.
    Pixie beast tribe quests.

    Zonureskin treasure maps.

    Shadowbringers A and S ranks.

    I really don't see them adding the current tomestone as a reward to FATEs in lieu of XP considering how easy they are to farm. I could almost see them adding Goetia but that would mean updating every FATE every time a new tomestone was released.

    Is not too much. As much as i have loved and still love this game for the 6 or so years i have been playing other games out there (Tera, etc..) you get far better rewards for even just playing.
    Adding tomes would at the very least keep areas somewhat still occupied? lol. Not saying Shadowbringer areas are completely dead yet however.
    Either way the fates need a revamp, i think adding the currency for doing fates that you can purchase items in each area was a good start.

    Two of those require a handful of people, and are not something you can just zone out and spend time grinding.

    This is another thing I am aiming for: keeping the zones alive. Also yes, when the shared FATE system came out I was of the same mind that it was a step in the right direction. Still needed work, but a solid start.

    90 FATEs? Eesh, I didn't even do the math. Average that out to what, 5 minutes per FATE?

    That's definitely way more time spent doing FATEs than any other content to get tomestones if you just went strictly that route.

    it's more like 2 minutes per level 80 fate and it' much faster if there is a fate train going on, they just melt instantly.

    i think its a good idea as a replacement for EXP
    like all my DoW/M are capped out and if they add more ranks to shared fates feel like a waste of exp
