How are you preparing for Dawntrail?
We only have a week left until early access starts, what are you guys doing to prepare for it? I’ve grinded out the carbuncle earring from the mogtome event and plan to do the wondrous tails for that extra exp. Also, both my inventory and glamour dresser are completely full, so I’ll need to make some room beforehand… But most importantly, I still need a fitting glam :D
@Drusenija Market Board as an extended inventory is what I highly recommend to others as well, as long as one is responsible with their Gil :)
A lot of the materials are super easy to obtain, especially in smaller quantities - a 40 min venture for a decent stack if you have a matching retainer leveled.
This is the mentality I’ve taken as well. It is rare that prices of goods fluctuate so significantly that I am taking a huge loss by rebuying. I only stock up on a few things like monster materials that are a pain to farm on demand and (for that reason) tend to be pricier on the market boards, but Botany and Mining, I either buy back from the markets or put on a good show on my other monitor and farm in bulk when I need a lot.
Also true! I was more thinking the actual gathering process itself but retainer ventures are just as effective, especially if it’s for something that is a timed node. You might not get the instantaneous gratification of crafting something right there and then, but it’s never far away for the vast majority of materials.
Then you just hold the ones that are relevant for current gear or stuff you actively work on (for example, my FC chest is completely dedicated to all the stuff needed to craft subs).
