It's mildly obnoxious, but you can already hold something like 300 imps by starting coalitions and simply not doing them

Then you go back and cancel them to get your fresh imps

It's 200. Each accepted coalition goes in your Current Quests tab, and you can have a maximum of 200 current quests. (I don't know what happens if you try to accept more than that. I haven't done this in a million years).

3 imps per assignment, ~100 assignments give or take. 300

As a single/two boxer it's only like 5 minutes a day, it's not that bad.

(*) Obviously you don't have access to all 100 assignments at rank zero, so you can "only" store maybe 60 immediately. And 100+ within a week.

Any other Pro Tips ? I srsly never bothered with these two weapons but now... I will.

Make a healer, other support job and tank as well as the ninja/other dd you have.

We need Chemist job for FFXI. Monbeareux can’t be the only one. That’s not fair!!

Every day I refill multiple stacks of meds, and I'm constantly popping them instead of waiting on whm. I'm already a damn Chemist.

Not really.

It takes 20 imps to level, so if you do 3*7 you're being slightly suboptimal.

That's kind of it. Setting multiple in a single area at once makes it a tiny bit faster. Like set kill mobs, and do harvesting, and do reives and do lairs and find the article and do the survey all in one zone. when possible.

Was this changed at some point? I did the adoulin grind on my main a while back, and you could only hold one coalition assignment. Or, at least, I thought you could only hold just one assignment.

Accept an Op for 3 pages
never do it
cancel op when you have time to burn to get pages back, just dont go over your cap via cancels.

You can't do the same one, you can do one of each

You can bank imps into any assignement that is available to you at your specific rank for that coalition. So if you are rank contributor in pioneers, you can bank up to 24 imps (8 total assignments available). Partner can bank up to 30, and so on.

This is good to know, thanks. I was putting off doing the adoulin grind on my geo alt, as I didn't want another daily task. But with these changes and banking the assignments/imps, should be pretty easy.

Having done both the ergons on main prior to the change and now having a mule only held up by imprimatur distribution time on an Idris... I've been trying to figure out how I feel about it.

I would've liked to see imprimaturs regenerate as quickly as assault tags. I'd spam them and reclaim the inv space for all these upgrade items. Still, I'm happy they cut the time in half and lol shovels or whatever.

I think another thing they probably could've done is give a first time completion bonus for each coalition assignment. Whether that's "add five to completion count" or "double the count on imps spent for that completion"... it'd just speed things along without being spammable.

Being magnate on second to last coalition and then having to start the final coalition, right now during this change, is bittersweet to say the least.

So you're upset that it takes so long, but you're also doing it inefficiently by focusing on one coalition at a time instead of getting every coalition to Advisor for the Bronze Shovel, which will allow you to shave ~two weeks off the 6 months?

I get two weeks over 6 months isnt that much, but you'd think that people who complain about how long the time gating is would do whatever possible to shorten it?

There's some combination of you reading too much into things and me not being precise enough in my wording happening here. Whatever, it's early.

The *** you mean "I'm reading too much into things"? Your own words were
which implies you're getting one coalition from Petitioner to Legend, then another coalition from Petitioner to Legend, etc.

There's a combination of ways the time-gating can cause frustration. It's not solely about something taking 6+ months to do.

I believe if there was no cap on imprimaturs, you would see fewer complaints about it taking 6+ months to complete an ergon. They would stack up after you get access to the content, and you could complete the assignments whenever you have some free time.

I think the complaint about the time-gating isn't just the absolute length of time, but the inconvenience of necessitating another task to keep track of for that length of time.

So, I can agree with someone complaining about the length of time something takes, while they also try and reduce the amount of effort they have to put into completing the task, even if it takes slightly longer.

I'm sure a lot were hoping for the amount of effort to remain the same (which is has), but reduce the friction that comes with needing to baby-sit the content (which kind of increased as it requires you to check in daily to capitalize on the shortened length of time).

Start on doing it in earnest. Begin the final push. Chill out guy, geez.

To change the subject from our failures back to SE's - It's 10 Oct, do we know which subset of "Winds of Change" campaign is active for phase one? Do we just go discover it? Is that now part of the fun?

Everything active, both times, just a break in the middle

And Vana'Bout most likely immediately after, november 10th or so. If not, then in the middle of the next campaigns, around the end of nov.

The patch wasn't even for sortie, how do they manage to *** these things up?

They attempted to fix some black screen issues in sortie it's in the notes

Yeah but still shouldn't be linked to chests popping.

Anyway... one way they could fix how painfully stupid the imp quests are is by changing it from limit points to EP... this would make it all a bit less painful.

Should have made it take 12 months instead

Oh right. I forgot AMAN live was today.

Useless things.

Odin bout to get the lockdown, sooner, than later.

Why add the sword and shield last patch lol


I think it was supposed to be added to the htmb last patch and they forgot to change the flag.

prepping ahead of time, probably. the event rolls out mid-month, so it's not like they're doing a patch for that specifically.
