    I don't think it would even be possible to max everything in three days (but if that's the case, then OP has bigger issues than CE being boring content...).
    I see... well, I kind of like it, but I think I can't spend more than 1 - 2 hours on it without wanting to do anything else. This will be true of Crescent Island as well, it's cool content, but if you burn it out, in 1 - 3 days its gonna feel like it's just not entertaining enough.

    Not my thing

    I hate timed events and the gather spot tags are hard to see on the bright moon. Not sure who had that idea but they should of had a color on them

    White text on a white background is indeed an issue.

    The class A missions are hard, it's true, in the sense that you can't tune out and watch YouTube and mash macro buttons to do them. They force you to actually pay attention.

    But I've managed to clear most of them on my alchemist so far.

    I think a lot of the 100 penta melded crafters are opting to get gold on the A ranks, then swap back down to the less intense B ranks for grinding because you can just smack macros for those. (Even then, you better pay attention on what the durability and quality requirements are.)

    Faster to spam B rank missions for I, II, III research points even as a pentamelded crafter.

    A rank missions for IV research points, but I'll only touch one or two of the missions out of the bunch.

    I've got pretty cheap pentamelds and most of the A-1/A-2 ones are very macroable. About the only one that gives me trouble is the 9000/23000 collectable one and a macro still works for gold about ~90% of the time.

    Very few A rank missions are worth completing for research points. There's two that are the best, III-18 I-12 and IV-30 II-20.

    Resetting missions is annoying af, so I end up spamming the III-6 II-6 I-6 mission instead.

    They take 4-5 minutes for roughly double the points/rewards so it's more efficient, long as you aren't failing all the time for some reason.

    All the A-1 missions and all except one A-2 mission can be consistently macroed for Gold Rank if you have BiS pentamelds and HQ Steak+Tisane. The 9100/16300 A-2 mission can too if you add in Specialist actions. I'm unsure tho on the A-3 missions as I've not done them enough

    A ranks can be macroed if you can hit certain breakpoints (well at least most can). Of the 12 A ranks in the regular rotation for crafters I can macro gold 9 of them. Of the remaining 3 1 you can easily macro silver and it seems like it’s XP proportions are a bit out of whack because getting silver on this one gives more experience than gold on almost any other (for anyone who’s done it it’s the 9900/20300/70 expert craft you only have to make one of) and the other 2 are generally harder and if you macro them you’ll probably only get bronze but it’s easy to ignore those 2 and only do them as manual expert crafts

    As for the gatherers they basically just seem to need at least 920 GP, a potion and the gathering to clear the collectible breakpoints (which i believe is 5400), once you hit all of that there is 5-6 out of the 12 that can be consistently golded with near no RNG

    and I’m only mid tier pentamelded using island sanctuary materia rather than current tier, so it’s likely easier for people running around in 12/12/12/11/11 pentamelds

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
