Cosmic Exploration is Bad

[Ekymus]

Yeah, my mistake. I should've figured it out the second time he called it occult crescent.

I mean I even tested it out myself. I took off 2 pieces of main gear and was still able to complete a C-rank with a gold rating despite failing to hook 4 fish. It's absurdly easy.

I'm glad you're already max level and have iLvl 900 or whatever b*llsh*t you're wearing. I'm trying to level up. I don't have the max level gear for level 100 yet because I'm not at level 100.

Maybe try reading AND comprehending. Or are the words I'm using too big with too many syllables?

Full level 97 fisher gear is 2870 gathering and 2339 perception, me with top/gloves off is 2404 gathering and 2906 perception. I'm able to easily complete rank C missions with a gold rating despite having a much lower gathering rate than you at level 97, AND I am doing level 100 missions. Even if the sync is completely messed up, you should be able to easily attain golds every time.
You are definitely doing something wrong.

"Blah blah blah, I'm full of myself and just want to put others down for not being hardcore players and have no life outside this game". That's what you sound like to me.

Your opinions are invalid at this point and there's nothing you can say that will convince me that Cosmic Explorations aren't the worst content in the game and the worst content created in years.

But I suspect you know this and that's why you're here. You'd rather do anything else than play Cosmic Explorations up to, and including, arguing with someone in a forum trying desperately to convince them that this sh*tty piece of content was actually good.

If it was even half as good as you and others have claimed it was, none of you would be here on these forums whining about people saying mean things about how sh*tty Cosmic Exploration is. You'd all be actually playing it.

Obvious troll thread. Waste of time.
Get your next account ready, RMT sir.

You don't like my opinion, fine. Don't post a response to my thread.

But I stand by every word I typed. You don't like it, too bad, move on and go play more Cosmic Exploration, you don't have to ever reply to me again.

[Gwenkatsu]

I played fisher to relax and enjoy the scenery. If you think it's great, good for you, go play it and don't reply to mine or any other post that doesn't like it. Replying would just take you away from the thing you seem to love and enjoy.

The irony is strong in this one. Maybe some enjoyable, good old fashioned round of fishing *outside* Cosmic Exploration Occult Crescent might be a thing to consider?

For the record: I still don't know what to make of CE. Went there once, did a bit of gathering (it sucked) and crafting (was ok), then lost interest, and left. I might return, or I might not, haven't set my mind up yet. But I do not run around, waving my little arms in the air, throwing temper tantrums at every person who does not agree.

Now my insult please, if you don't mind, my good sir

And people wonder why devs never listen and read forums.. yikes

There are plenty of guides on how to gear up, how to level crafters and which stuff to craft for minimum effort and maximum efficiency. Many of them also give you a crafting rotation macro if you don't want to discover your own. What more do you want?

Doing your weeklies alone will not only provide you with levels but also with enough purple script to consistently gear up. If you add the class quests (class quests, crystarium, studium, wachu) you get TONS of purple scripts. enough to buy tome gear of your level. It might not be BiS but it's more than enough to get you started.
While the Class quests are a bit annoying to do because they are time consuming having to farm all the mats, however, you can find every single item and that you need for each, with all of the mats required listed. You can do a massive collect and do everything in 1 go if you wish.

Who cares about crafters? I'm complaining about the gatherers, specifically fishing, and how terrible it is.

I shouldn't need a guide on how to fish in "casual" content. I couldn't care less about a relic tool and since my server seems to get the server-wide events done with in the first few hours of release when I'm at work, I don't care about building the base up because I'll never be able to participate in that.

And if Cosmic Exploration wasn't meant to be a leveling experience, then they shouldn't have allowed people in at level 10 and just made it level 100 only.

If you can't see that, then that's on you. Please feel free to enjoy this hardcore only content with all the other hardcore players. But don't try to tell me that this is "easy" or "casual" when it's clearly Savage for crafters/gatherers.

At least we agree on one thing FSH sucks..LOL. I have maxed gathers + crafters but didn't open FSH.

Why should they not allow people to level up? It might not be the best way, but it's surely a way to do it. Having more options, even if they are not optimal, is better than not having them.

I cannot say I am a dedicated crafter, but it does not feel savage. It feels more like playing a gacha game than anything. Will it proc? Will I "pull" HQ? Hocus Pocus...

Level 100 custom deliveries crafting level range ranges from 90-95. None of them are even level 100 recipes anyway

The easiest entry check for crafting is to see if you can craft the current crafting gear

Was lazy due work and stuff... but finally finished the first tool today... dunno if im doing one more. by the time i could need it i can make better ones and the upgrade comes too late to be of any use for that patch lol

Towards the end it got less bad and progress felt nice, but it still was kinda... boring? Like would it hurt to get a few more fates? Some of the stuff sucked, i needed the finished tool to get gold and despite having done one fully, i still miss some missions.. idk how i never saw em lol
