Endwalker Exploration Zones

No but if they add essences 2.0 I'm going to be expected to farm them, and playing two games i quite frankly do not have the time.

I'd rather not get shat upon for not having them, like the people on the forum like to.

You know you can buy Fragments on the Market Boards? I really hope that the next base zone has a retainer bell and market board in it as that would make it easier for both the farmers to supply the fragment equivalents and the people who do not want to farm to buy them. Needing to teleport to a town and then back to Doma and then using the Aethryte to get back to Gangos is to many steps to get Fragments off the market board compared to just running to the market board in Kugane.

I don't have the gil to do that atm. I'm rocking about 20k right now. I'm also terrible at making it since I don't craft or gather. Instead i run dungeons, which are bad for money. Bought a few housing items and fruit for my bird. Had to get some jewelry for my dancer because drops suck and i couldn't get into done dungeons due to item level(hard blocked on one right now because of it still). It all adds up, so I've taken to leveling other jobs praying i make gil while doing it.

Uhm... It shouldn't be to hard to get gil... the average daily roulette should be giving about 8k per run without daily bonuses and you should be able to gear up pretty well with uncapped tomestones. The i490 uncapped tomestone gear is sufficient to get into all dungeon content currently.

You can get over 22k by running three roulettes in a single day (more if those three are trial, alliance raid, and normal raid). Even if you ran one dungeon roulette each day for more than three days you would double your gil amount. If you ran just the roulettes that give you over 30 current gear tomestones (which you can use to buy gear for your other jobs instead of gil) just enough to hit the weekly tome cap, you would be pulling down over 77k a week without even needing to use gil to buy gear since that's what the tomes are going to.

I'm not saying its easy to be a gillionaire, but considering you can pull down 72,640 gil a day for doing all the roulettes or 508,480 a week if you do them all every day (this doesn't include the "in need" bonus that would nearly double this), its simplicity itself to get out of the hole of "22k" if you are just running dungeons, and this is before mentioning using the others tomes you get to buy items to sell for more gil or rolling greed in expert dungeons to get gear for other jobs (or just to sell as well).

It's also a warzone. When's the last time you saw a warzone that was anything but brown?

Ahh, right, tropical climates with camouflaged or less lengthily entrenched positions can't possibly be in the midst of war...

Are you desynthing everything that drops? You don't need a craft leveled for it, and while the mats are generally not worth a ton it's still free gil. Can sell the crystals and clusters too.

Buy ventures with grand company seals (you should have a ton from fates) and send them out on Quick Explorations. 99/100 you get just junk (usually some random dungeon gear you just desynth), but every once in a while you get a 200k+ item.

I don't do roulette on my 80 job.

I don't desynth anything. I usually vendor it or turn it in for seals. When I played last you DID need a craft leveled for it iirc. Just started ventures last night, didn't have them unlocked. Actually forgot you had to unlock them(been gone five years).

Don't have expert roulette unlocked. I'm hard locked on item level, and not getting tomestones because I wanted to finish the story before I did the gear grind, but I'm finding I need to do the gear grind first T.T so I'm leveling alt jobs because running max level dungeons I've only run as trusts is intimidating.

Which is exactly why I think Lost Actions should be a one and done thing. Once you have it you have it forever. No need to go and farm more of them that people are either unwilling, myself included, or unable, don't have the time for, to go out and do nothing but farm items that may or may not give the Lost Action they need. How many people farming DR for relics say they ran out of Essences long ago. They have no reason or desire to go back to Southern Front or Zadnor to try and get more of these essences that "may" drop from w/e drops them that then "may" contain the item they need. RNG is fine in some things but layers upon layers of it is just maddening.

And yes I get this is content meant to last for the next 6 months. But the devs should know by now people are not going to go farm hours to get Essences just to farm other content. They are just going to farm that content and have it take longer for everyone. (I include my self in this.) Essences are just one example btw.

A one and done action with a cool down would be lovely. I would find it much more useful, and way less cheesable than these fates are.
