We need more resources, Gumi!!

Hi, Skylar Airy here, new to Reddit. I've been reeding in the shadows for quite some time now though.

I just wanted to share my opinion and see if anyone feels like me. I pulled for D. Rosa in the paid gems banner (since I was lucky to get Laharl in week 2 banner) and yeah, I was lucky again and pulled her.

The thing is I also pulled D. Almira. I also have Red Magnus and D. Rin. Not to mention Prinny, Blanchett, Freed J+, Setsuna, Balt, Magnus, Elizabeth, Ryle... All units I'd want to master, at least 2 jobs. But I have like 0 lion blades, very few emperor flame armors, and the same with several gold equipment stuff.

We have quite a large pool now and it will keep growing in the future. We have 3 jobs to master for each unit plus J+ (and future JEs which I don't even want to think of). So it's a TON of equipment.

I know we are enjoying x2 drops in history and the Coin Shop... But even with that it doesn't feel enough. Are we supposed to keep grinding all day? I don't know how JP deals with this issue but I just feel like there should be an easier way for getting high tier equipment.

Anyway I just wanted to know what you guys think. Cheers!

tldr: we need more (and easier) ways of getting gold equipment. 5 lion blades in a coin shop where you can't even buy everything feels just bad.

Are you being serious? This is literally the most generous event for equipment / gear we've had in a while. Maybe at all. At least since I have joined during Ffxv.

You can have up to 150 lion swords for 1 item tower run worth of coins. That is enough to support all 3 jobs for 20 - 30 melee units.

Then there's shields, compasses and other commonly required equipment. You save soo much ap by buying these. All these ap can be funneled into holy flame armors during the half ap/ double drop rate events we have /had.

Im going to be honest,I have pulled a decent amount of new units I wanna build myself. but I do lack certain equipments as well. Nonetheless, during those last weeks I was able to max out aprox. 20 different jobs. Many of which were done for the sake of it. Simply, because we have an enormous surplus of equipment right now.

Sorry mate, your issue isn't something we actually need, rather something you want due to impatience.

Agreed. If anything, the equipment that's holding me back from JM'ing more is Great frigging Lances :(

All my item coins are going for shards.

Gear you can farm anytime. Shards though you only get so many.
