Adventure mode-the solution

[Shironeko_Narunyan]

So honestly with the news of hq removal, it seems gil will overall become more and more worthless. Most people will never obtain a house, apartments are running out of other limitations. Almost all items can be bought from npc so why would we buy from people on the marketboard when there is no High grade version with better stats/use more often. There is none that I can think of so I was thinking while playing Final fantasy 7 remastered we could use a new mode in the open world that could benefit all aspects of Final Fantasy ffxiv. The solution “adventure mode”


What is adventure mode?
Glad you asked, this mode would allow the open world all across the game to be made useful and into a mini game. Think of the bike chase in Final fantasy 7, the snowboard game in the original and so on.

How would this make gil worth something?
This solution would add a npc to all the starting zones so that when you buy a ticket (599k+) you will obtain a clear crystal. These clear crystals will have a charge amount based on the size you buy from the npc.

What would you charge it with?

You would charge these crystals with Aether based on the zone. Many zones could be wind, fire, earth, light, dark, ice etc.

How would you obtain the charge?
You would start a solo/or tag-team adventure mode at the start of the zone after both of you buy a clear crystal. Upon completion of “waves” you will obtain a charge based on how many kills you got.

What would the result be?
The result would be an Aspect Crystal; these crystals could be used as an addition when crafting in order to add glows/properties to the items usable on anything in the game that is craft able.

What about cooking/alchemy?
This would be where the fun starts upgrading potions/cooking to have a use across the board outside of selected content. I call this benefit of what you eat/drink.

For these lets say you charge or buy a fully charge crystal with Wind
Your food or potion will give you more healing, stats sure but it would also increase the timer of how long it lasts by 10 minutes. While decreasing the cd hugely.

Just to add to this as the third in line, to be obnoxious, and to really drive the point home in the hopes that you'll do some advanced Google-Fu and read it up:

HQ gathering will be gone
HQ crafting will remain

Still regardless my point remains juat half true.
The point of hq gathering is to increase odds of making a hq item. Which gave readon to buy them over normal.

Still my point is overall gill is worth hardly anything. The need for a gil sink everyone can do without limits is still there.

How long have you been playing the game for? I've been playing the game for 8 years or so and I'm constantly broke, always needing more money.
If your gil is not worth anything to you I'll gladly take it.

Sorry but if this is really true you are doing something terribly wrong. If you know what you are doing and playing that long its basicly impossible to be broke and by this time you also should allready have bought everything you want from the market board. There are more than enough really good guides on youtube and here in the forum how to make money. Just stick to one method or two if you really need some for a few days or weeks and you will have more than enough (if you dont wanna buy a big plot or some glamour thats worth like 20m or more).

Just for comparsion the last weeks i only log in for about an hour each day to manage my retainers and some stuff because i play other games until the new addon comes out. I made thx to selling stuff through my retainers a bit less than 40m during the last 4 weeks and the only thing i did was restocking stuff when they sold something and cleaning my inventory. Makeing money is easy in this game you just need to focus on it.

You don't need HQ gathering materials to ensure a 100% HQ rate, they are more a nuisance than anything else. Maybe you need them for crafting the newest crafting gear with the older one, but that's a trivial obstacle and obsolete after day 1.

I agree completely, but one thing remains, gathering will feel more dull again.
I don't enjoy crafting, but I love gathering and I miss having no chance at getting something rare when gathering. I admit HQ mats were nothing too great, but at least something. Now we have nothing
I wish they replaced the HQ mats by a small chance to get something rare and cool from gathering, something one could sell for decent profit and it would be useful in endgame content.
