    please balance seals per hour

    Totorok is a really good way to make seals, that being said it makes everything else a waste of time. Leves being the biggest joke of coarse.

    increase seals for leves
    allow us to choose what leve we want
    increase seals for caravan
    increase drop rate in dark hold
    also allow solo entry into totorok

    as is now, i wouldn't mind doing GC leves solo if receiving 100 seals for 15 mins of my life wasn't such an insult to my humanity.

    Please SE, make the adjustments.

    i think 2k an hour should be what you aim for when considering balance, but thats my opinion.


    EDIT: wanted to add this about leves
    If i had to guess, id say leves are the easiest "content" to create in this game, or any game for that matter. Why we have 3 leves for a lvl 40+ camp is beyond me. It seemed like when SE added the no time limit leve they had plans to expand the system, now it just seems half done and abandoned. Please introduce more leves with a selectable leve UI and tiered reward for ranks.

    I concur that some adjustment would be a good idea. (o.0 ) I just discard the fifteen minute leves that I get, and cycle them until I get a hunt-the-snurble/eyeball leve at Halitali - the longer ones are simply not worth the time involved.

    Of course, once I began doing Toto-Rak spam, I never bothered with anything else. o_O Definitely agree with OP that some tweaking is in order.

    Don't bad mouth toto. You can get 10k seals in desmael really fast. But you know why we dont. Because its a pain in the ass all the bitching and whinning for loot. That's why ppl like me got sick and tired of doing parties there. Leave toto alone. We need some peace of mind!

    This is exactly why I do Toto-rak, just me and buddy and we get about 5k an hour with pretty much zero stress and total fairness. It's like "Oh, I got 4 drops from the 5 chests and you only got 1, here let me give one of my drops so you don't feel like you've wasted your time." Way less stress than with Dzemael.

    so the new GC item is 25000 seals, the only means to solo seals is leves and NM's, leves being the faster choice. So that would take 250 leves to get enough seals to buy this massive seal sink.

    I dont mind some leves being 100 seals, but allow us to choose from a list, and give more seals to higher ranked leves please.

    I think company leves just need to be re-done entirely... The ones that force you into 15 minutes of absolute bore-fest for a handful of seals are a complete joke.

    2k per hour is too much IMO. It would make all the company gear WAAAAAAAY too cheap to obtain. Half that would be awesome though.

    I can get about 3k seal from toto rak in a hr =/ can do 3 or 4 speed runs in that time. That's exactly why the op is asking for balance. Choco escorts take far to long for an 120-225 seal reward, but its better than leves cause you can do it in 8 mins.

    I see. I haven't done totorak to exploit it for seals. I heard you get a lot but didn't think it was 3k/hr. (Yes I think that separating from the party so you can get all the drops is an exploit, because it's clearly not an intended mechanic.)

    That being said, I think they should increase the amount you can get via leves and choco escort and fix the totorak exploit.

    I am not aware of any exploit in Toto-Rak. (>.>) I go in with a friend, we speedrun the place, and in two runs, we walk away with 1500-2000 seals in items apiece. We do not split off into separate parties.

    Two runs take about half an hour, a bit more if we're yakking it up while doing the run. We can indeed do four runs in just over an hour if we set HP in Ul'dah and tele back to Tranquil.

    I do not think there is any exploit at work here. o.O We are simply grabbing the chests, and turning the items in.
