Ishgard Restoration Diadem Is Stupid.

[Dan4077]

Now let me say I do not have an issue with the idea to bring mats into diadem or even making the old crafts useless for turn ins. What I do have a problem with is this system for the nodes are SO scarce it is taking forever to get them to respawn at all. Sometimes taking up to 2-3 mins when we use to be able to run to a node in regular areas in 10-15 secs. It is completely tedious on so many levels. You will have to gather mats you do not even want to spawn nodes in a decent amount of time without flying all over the place looking.

This seems like it was 1 just made poorly with no testing, or intentionally made to waste everyone's time.

I can't even figure out how to get into Diadem, so it's not an issue for me yet.

You're not supposed to stand in one island but moving through island as you gather.
I got tons of materials and no spawing problem.

That is not what I mean, I cannot gather one particular material like normal gathering, you can only run threw and gather w.e the hell pops up. That is annoying and time wasting. Not to mention any of the items that craft the 2 star items are COMPLETELY USELESS you cannot even craft them to a high collectability even with top notch fully melded gear and food.

Oh, so they made it like WoW Gathering.

Well...they DID say that the recipes would be harder. Pretty sure someone will come out with a catch all macro soon so people can go back to their brain dead one button crafting and start complaining that it's too easy again so you can wait until then.

Tell us how please.

I do understand it is complex.

There's a thread in the Disciple of the Hand forum that has some good tips. Definitely make use of the Practice recipes first to get a better feel for how the conditions work.
