Cosmic Exploration is CASUAL content with a pinch of midcore

For clarification, Red Alerts happen 3-5 hours after the last. The exact difference in respawn time seems to be random. So it's similar to the hunt (A rank) respawn times.

Mech Ops seem to respawn about as often as FATEs, which is within 20 minutes.

I agree that I have been getting I and II research from Red Alerts. And there is no skill needed for Red Alerts so far, at least for gatherers. They aren't nearly as challenging as the steller missions. So if you just want to tab out and only do Red Alerts when they come up, it seems to be workable so far.

Don't quote me but I don't think you can get III research from Red Alerts, it's I, II, and IV. But you CAN get III from B missions, so if the A missions are too difficult, you never actually have to do any of them to finish the tools.

Actually in order to get IV which is what is required for max 0.8 and max tool you need A-Class.

No, Red Alerts give absolute gobs of IV. That's how I finished my fishing pole. Managed to fit seven or eight fishing missions in and got a ton of IV XP. I don't believe they give any III though, at least the fisher and miner critical missions don't.

I was referring to them saying just do B-class to level to max which is impossible I have leveled 4 relics already there is no IV on B-Class. and telling people to do Red Alerts which some servers will be lucky to see them at most 2-3 times a day is not acceptable for 'it's casual' cause casual people might not be able to make a single red alert

"Them" was me, and I said, "You don't have to do any of the harder A missions", which is true. There's nothing more casual than the critical missions, just have to be online at the right time. Which I assume a casual player will, at some point, manage to be. Unless we're defining "casual player" as someone who logs in 30 minutes once a week...in which case, no, they'll *still* manage to catch a red alert at some point.

*at some point* is not casual friendly. and unless you gold star those less harder A-class missions you will get piddly squat for points to your relic, in fact in order for me to actually even start getting points on a-class on ALC I had to 4x meld my tools even though my entire gear was penta my tools only had 1 materia on them for ALC and I would fail basically every single time, macros would fail everything would fail and I wouldn't even get enough points for bronze or silver, Gold is a if the RNG gods wish you luck on quality statuses.
