Seriously..? WHY..?

[Lucifearus]

Which dev was it that decided to randomly remove the Aether Oil repeatable quest, "Gift of the archmagus". I just wanna talk (no i dont need help or advice, yes i think this is a dumb change)


Jan 10, 2023 — The Chronicles of a New Era quests "But I Hardly Noah" and "The Gift of the Archmagus" will no longer be available.
you really just randomly decided to literally remove a quest i had in my log to help myself, gee thanks xdd im sure other newer players will share this feeling

Isn't aether oil only 350 poetics? It's really not a big deal, 350 poetics doesn't take long to get; might even be faster than these quests.

its 350 poetics per, you say that but you require around 5+, that's an extra 1750 poetics i now need to grind for no reason

I mean, you can cap poetics really quick in Bozja or Eureka, it's really not that big of a grind my guy... maybe an hour tops? In Eureka you also get crystals for relics so it's a win win situation. Or you can do it while watching Netflix through hunt trains, you make also gil selling the materia you get from it. I don't see the issue.

After i already have spent 5250 poetics on the umbrite, 2000+ on the singing clusters, over 6k on the pre reqs to get to this point, your reasoning is literally "no big deal just gotta grind 1750 more". while i understand and accept this, i think its dumb

[Lucifearus]

Either damn way im gonna be doing alliance raids to get poetics required, my point still stands, why would you remove a questline which directly ties into such. 1750 poetics is DEFINITELY over a damn hour of grinding. They literally removed the quest as it was in my quest log with me actively doing it, genuinely dumb

That's gonna take you hours, I wouldn't suggest that method.

You still need to do the daily roulette one way or another is what i was referencing to. Why remove a quest that tied into that for no reason , either way youre going to be doing it

Why? If all you need is poetics just do the quickest methods for them which is Eureka and Bozja. Doing roulettes will take you forever.

Not to mention, every single damn guide in existence glides over that quest as a basic method to get your oil, now EVERY guide is outdated because they decided to remove a quest for 0 reason. Youre also assuming people are doing Eureka and Bozja which are way farther into the game than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mor Dhona ARR entry level quest zones my guy. This directly screws over newer players working on their relics for 0 reason but go off

I mean, if you still haven'T finished the MSQ I'd suggest to not worry about aether oil but rather finish the MSQ. MSQ should be top priority since everything in the game is locked behind it.

Oh pipe down, you arent the captain that gets to decide how people progress in a game. Removing quests people and new players are doing simply to make the barrier to entry harder for no reason is dumb period xd

If you want other methods that are still quick but not as quick though:

1- Look in the PF for people wanting to clear content, you'll get the bonus poetics and they usually want to do asap so unsynced content that takes at most a few minutes.

2- Queue for the level 50 hard trials, 95% of the time you'll get the bonus poetics for new players and these fights take about 5minutes to complete, for faster result queue as healer.

Ever consider most guides now simply tell you the required mats and people gather them up, then turn in, in bulk? Only to realize now an entire step or questline has been removed, effectively making them gather more for no reason after theyve already spent almost 26k poetics? its dumb my guy

also, did i ask how to get poetics or did i simply say them removing the repeatable to get the item is stupid ? Did i once ever ask how to get poetics my guy? no, i didnt. i simply said its a poorly thought out change to suddenly remove a questline that people have been making use of for 7+ years

[Stormy Dawn]

Yeah. I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind getting rid of it.

I suppose they could say hardly anyone was doing the quest, but I feel like that could be said of a lot of menial sidequests that are still present in the game, so why remove this one in particular when it still had tangible value?
