Bronze and Silver chests should drop Silver/Gold currencies in Occult Crescent

[DoubleJustice]

Currently there are 3 modes of gameplay you can engage in in OC.

1. Fates/CEs silver grinding.
2. Mob Chaining Gold grinding.
3. And treasure hunting.

Adding currencies to the treasure chests would help solidify it as content worth doing in its own right, as opposed to something that\\'s only done when it\\'s convenient. It also helps to deal with the issue that many people are feeling, which is burnout from either non-stop gold farming or non stop silver by allowing players to search at their own pace.

Diversifying the methods that players can attain currency is a tried and true metric to increase player retention and enjoyment by providing them agency in how they approach the content. XiV is generally pretty good at this(shared fates as an alternative demiatma farm, treasure maps/hunts/roulettes as methods of tomestone farming etc). Adding silver and gold coins of enlightenment to chests would achieve this.

There would still of course still be incentive to engage in gold and Silver currency grinds, by virtue of them granting knowledge and phantom exp, as well as demiatmas from fates/ces. In all likelihood this would be less effecient than 8 man farming good, or even solo farming gold, so it should have minimal negative effect on the current systems, while providing more meaningful methods of engagement within the zone as a whole.

Second and tangentially related, please increase the spawning frequency of the pot fates. This would further add to the "treasure hunting" play style I believe was intended by turning the loop into, chest hunt>pot fate>complete pot>chest hunt.

Treasure chests respawn by killing fates, CE's and overworld monsters. So in order to go treasure hunting you need to break it up with some other activity to respawn chests.

I assume what they were going for was treasure hunting as a break when you've done some gold or silver grinding. I think this works pretty well, as it encourages everyone to interract with the multiplayer aspects of the zone.

I support the idea of pots respawning more often though, they feel very slow if you mainly wanna do those.

That is true, but I think chests having no in zone progrssion tied to them make it so it's not meaningful content to do even if it's to take a break.

Which leads to the zone feeling devoid of content to do besides the non stop fate/CE grind, or gold grind. Even if you need to stop and do some fates/CEs after clearing out all the chests, having an actual incentive to do them would go a long way in making the zone feel less like a place that simply had 2 binary non-intersecting activities and a bit more to the complete experience package that Eureka and Bozja offered before.

Honestly love the idea especially because it keeps chests alive for more than the title or the chance at carrot/gold thread.
I find myself just discarding most of the rewards from the chests because they're worth sub 1k, replace the junk they shoved in with just gold/silver and I'll be hunting down every chest that's spawned before returning to fates/CE because I'm still progressing while doing stuff i find fun. (that would also bring those items back up to more than 1 gil in some cases so old content is still worth doing)
