I've played many mmo's but I think guild wars 2 has the best concept of material farming...granted they have a crafting system so it's much more elaborate but there are many people who enjoy farming materials in many types of games...you wouldn't have FarmVille and clash of clans if that we're not true... Point being that in guild wars they give you exp...a decent decent amount of it for every material you farm and there are players who's sole gameplay experience may very well boil down to running around and farming... I've said it before in posts but if they just adopted an exp boost to each material node and chest you pick up they would have a lot less posts of people complaining about the time being spent...some would say wasted... I personally accept it and conform because I like gearing up my equipment and seeing the progression Actually if they just had a consumable item that you can get off of higher level enemies from strikes and raids as well as from crucible...ex : house banners and ether seeds that gave you a 30min buff to get exp from each material farmed

  • With this game it would probably work better if enemies had a chance to drop materials.

  • Yeah this would also work...and maybe a random chance to receive some from dismantling rare and legendary gear

  • Sorry to be rude but who cares about XP??! You mostly have to farm when you hit 20 and get legendary gear and who cares about motes of light? Give me a consumable that makes material nodes drop way more materials

  • Have to level up gear after 20, not just motes.

  • Oh.. Well I don't know I don't really have a problem leveling gear. It's actually activating the upgrade nodes with materials that takes a while

  • Actually, I had a gun 'level up', so to speak, by farming the chests only... So you do get XP from chests...

  • ??? No mats from chests for you??? Then how come when i farm mars, i only look for chest and in like an hour, I get over 100 relic iron??? Or are you talking about shards and energy??? In that case, I've gotten both on occasions... Usually only 1 per 2 or 3 hours straight... Though i have seen my friends get legendary engrams from chests before, but never got one myself... And the chest doesn't say "hey dude, heres some free exp, just because i can"... I don't know how it works, but my guns have leveled up just from chests before... So unless there's something else in those chests, How do my guns level up???

  • He means no xp from chests and no xp from materials, not no materials from chests.

  • Like I said... I had guns level up just from opening a chest... So the has to be something going on with cheats, more then just whats inside...

    Love farming and crafting in FFXIV, farming isn't too bad in Destiny, would be better if there was crafting or something.
