A simple fix for Cosmic Exploration gatherer content

[PotatoePet]

The reason I reroll missions is because I don't wanna run around the map all the time. And I didn't know these were the easy missions or something(although the last one gave me 270 points which isn't a low), so if you look up my previous message I did some A-3 missions. Are these easy too? Well okay tell me what missions should I do and I'll do them.

You are telling me you can do multiple A-3 missions (involving collectables) back to back without waiting for GP to refill especially considering the ones with aetherial reduction RNG (2 mins and 50 secs for gold, get 35 and reduction is either giving 2 per 1000 collectable or 4 with bonus)? (EDIT: Have to check if it was 2/4 but currently concentrating on crafters)

Look up my previous message in this thread. There’s a video of me doing A-3 missions WITHOUT using any GP skills at all and without a relic.

You had a lot of these "integrity is not reduced" events. Much more than I usually have with the same base 23% chance.
I can only do more A-3 tests when I reached 150k with all crafters in preparation for the next zones. I will report back.

Well I dunno we play the same game with the same RNG. And look, even if my luck was worse I would still get a silver star easily, which is only 100 points less. But then if I had my relic equipped, I would get even more integrity bonuses.

Tried 3 times now, two times bronze when not using GP and once gold with 1 second left for gold rating. And I want to correct the values above. Its 2-4 or 4-8 (with bonus)

EDIT: Tried with the relic, will now test pentameld tool

With the pentameld 2 gold and 1 silver without using GP. So yea, A-3 missions are easier than I thought. To my defense: I only did them once before

EDIT2: Last attempt was bronze with pentameld.

Still I feel this isn't worth the effort. In 2 minutes I can easily do 1250 points as a crafter. Its nearly 3 minutes as a gatherer on A-3 and for gold you get 505 points. If I use my GP I can do it quicker and at least be nearly as efficient as a crafter which is likely the reason people feel like that about GP in cosmic.

EDIT3:
Let's assume for gatherers 80% gold, 10% silver, 10% bronze and just assume 3 minutes per mission

So that's 20 gatherer missions per hour
16 * 505
2 * 404
2 * 101

= 9090 points

Crafter is 100% silver with macros and even if we assume 2 minutes 24 seconds for a mission that's 25 crafter missions per hour
25 * 1250

= 31250 points

If you use GP you can make points faster and I think this discrepancy is the source of that feel of "We dont have enough GP". At least if we are talking about A-1, A-2 and A-3.
I guess its made that way because there are more crafter jobs. It still feels bad to get less and "contribute less".

They need to adjust the points then. I think I'm okay with GP recovery but only if they make the missions harder. Or they can just enable revisit in cosmic.
