The nostalgia topic had a lot of people complaining about having no time to do anything thy want because they are slaved to dailies.
I'm curious how many people actually do all the dailies.


Personally, I do not.

If bh is Ghost Wing, then I'll more often than not skip the bhs for the day (bh EU is easy, but I just don't like it) and run PV or run fsp or full warsong or something I want to do.
Or sometimes I just don't want to do all the primals and only do the ones that pay coins.

Yeah, some may say I miss out on some potential exp and rewards.....but IMO I gain much more as I'm doing what I want to do and the game doesn't feel like job slaved to cramming in dailies.

    Im like you dude, i stopped doing dailies ages ago.

    I'll do the occasional BH but usually because the squad i go with is ppl i know and the run tends to be fairly funny and enjoyable. I stopped doing Morai and Primal a long time ago. In fact i joined Luminance a while back and i haven't even got around to doing anything for them.

    In fact im not even sure what I do in this game anymore, stand around and chat is about it b:shutup

    I used to do every daily in 3 characters, then JJ in 2 more, now I don't even log in regularly. If I log in it is to do BH on my SB, maybe some quests, but I don't feel like playing for hours anymore.

    How boring must the game be if your gonna do
    morai
    primal
    faction
    bh
    cube
    PV
    aeu
    nuemas

    I pitty those who religiously do it all b:surrender

    I have done my primals somewhat religiously when the new ones became available. I have done PV religiously for a few months till i decided to F with 105105105. Nuemas has always been the big issue. They are so rewarding, but the most boring.

    Its pretty sad actually that they try to keep people active this way. 5 out of 8 on that list are simple the repetition of 2-3 minute runs\quests that offer zero challenge to anyone. Pure mindless waste of time. BH, cube and AEU the other ones. Wow, why dont we do more AEU ? Its clearly the most entertaining of all :)
    Oh ye, i forgot FSP, thats the winner then :p (and the only one that i kept doing daily till the end)

    I saw your ambitions in that other thread of yours.

    Stop wasting your time and start being productive :p
    • primal - most important to do until you have your sky level and passives up to date. no other way to get those.
    • PV - very worthy time investment if you can a good number runs a day. 50 hours worth of PV 7 runs per token or so gets you an emperor tome worth of stat points ! = 50m per hour)
    • nuemas - If you are in europa and asleep during resource wars. Else F them.
    • FSP - Quite good financially, one of the most important if you want A card sets as the cost is doubble when you have to buy them. (5m per hour)
    • bh - medium. (3m per hour)
    • cube - waste of time, just farm coins elsewhere and buy the **** (1-3m per hour)
    • aeu - waste of time from financial viewpoint (2m per hour)
    • morai - total utter waste of time
    • faction - ehm, what shall i say, do it every now and then to keep them happy ? b:surrender

    Based on how long I'm free that day to play pwi, I'll do what I can fit in, primal and pv nowadays.

    Thankfully done with nuemas a long time ago (Resource Wars is OP for those btw)

    If I have extra time I'll try squeeze in one or two FSP runs, and maybe a Sky Pirate Drake if the timing is right.

    None of my toons is not yet rebirth so I don't do Primal dailies. I'll start doing those when it is time for that.

    I do:
    - BH. Especially if BH2 can be done with active points. Otherwise I don't do BH2 unless it is TT2-3 Wurlord or have a good squad. I stopped doing AEU for BH after I got those essences back in quest. That bush version was awful and confusing. I guess I should stop whining and go to AEU when it is BH next time.

    - Morai. I need prestige and influence for skill books.

    - Faction Base quest

    - Nuema. Especially when Qingzi drops it. 29 is easy and fast enough to run just for nuema.

    And JJs on alts. Moneyyh \o/

    Oh and I don't do dailies religiously

    I should also do cube for cube necklace. But I don't have time for cube after dailies and 30 cogs for necklace don't really motivate me.

    I did primal, pv, morai religiosly before I lvled and maxed out skies. Now I just occasionally do BH (not every day), gbq and turn in some primal quests for active points if possible. It's physically impossible to do all dailies on all toons. Even on one it takes a lot. IMO, it's more productive if you focus on something, for example lvling, and do dailies connected to it - pv, cube, aeu/whatever, skipping all the rest which is less important at that moment.

    BS!!!!

    My current record for getting all dailies done(primal(first rb+second rb chars), GBQs(both), Morai(one char), and bh1(both chars) is 45mins 29seconds. Would be closer to 30mins if my cleric could kill bqs mobs faster. This was on 2 chars.

    I used to do all the dailies on everyone, but after the nightshades came out I spend a good chunk of time working on them, so it has cut down on my dailies activities on the 100+ characters. Maybe when they're fully reborn and ready for Primals I'll get back into a regular cycle of all my chars, since it only really takes a few hours to get everyone done if I double up.

    Basically I do Primals on 1 or 2 chars that I'm working up to complete, Morai on 2-3 chars, and BH on 1 or 2 depending on what the BH is that day, I mostly always skip bh EU and AEU because I just don't enjoy those dungeons much so on those days I get more other dailies done.

    It also depends on which quests have active points, the more quests I can auto-complete the more chars get stuff done. I'm not really worried about leveling quickly or making the most money possible per day, if I did I'd get wicked burned out. I don't really have the same amount of time or the energy to do as much as I used to so I do whatever I feel like XD

    Dude, im sure colum can take my post for what it is. Dont worry about him doing what i tell him to do against his will. He can take care of himself.

    Other than that, i always like numbers, so i post them because they might help other people to make their decisions. Some might not care about them and ignore them, others might rightfully conclude that they cant farm TT and thus it is great for them to do all these things that pay 2m per hour and a few might think `hmm maybe hes got a point, why am i doing that damn boring cube when i can just spend half as much time in TT and buy that amulet`. More likely theres going to be some noob players who dont know how to make money, see those numbers and are going to do the whole damn list every day.
    Im sure the majority will be able to make their own choises that way. Not only colum.

    Some people have a desperate need to lecture others, and wave their own peen in the air at the same time. No argument will convince them that they *aren't* performing some sort of Public Service by dropping their little rabbit-pellets of wisdom everywhere they go.

    Unfortunately, due to the OCD-attracting qualities of games like this, we get a lot of 'em around here.

    I for a long time did all my dailies every day on my main, as it was my only reborn character. Now with so many alts in the upper 90s from the 95 stone that I am really enjoying leveling, and laziness of the repetition, I rarely do dailies on my sin anymore. Usually I'll do bh, but never primals anymore (luckily with Sky Pirate Drake I am finished with bloods). It just got so boring doing the same stupid 5 minute quests every day

    My answer, some will learn from what they read, even if they dont like the way it is posted, even if they disagree with the posted information (as i said, some might conclude that all these daylies are very productive for them because they cant farm TT) Others will feel offended by the way it is posted and disregard the information.

    It was directed at colum. As i said, he will know how to interpret my posts. We have both been posting on this forum for a long time. Without a doubt he knows my style.

    He is an APS barb. I love APS barbs. He is trying to make it to end game gear by farming and merchanting. I love people with such ambitionn. He is walking the path that i walked. I like to see him succeed, i know he will. I like to advise him or at least show him with what principles i have done it myself. The advise i give him is meant in a friendly and encouraging way. Im sure he knows that.

    As for me seeming to you to be an arrogant ****. Well i know that i am so in this context. However, my attitude adjusts to my knowledge and experience on the subject. When i was new here, i was the noob who wanted to know everything and asked everyone for all the details they could provide me. Now i know that i have succeeded in the PvE and economical parts of this game to a high defree . I am still a noob in the PvP department and you wont see much arrogance on that aspect from me.

    Meanwhile i took up new endeavours in life, and in those i am again the noob who wants to learn everything and soak up all the information i can so that a few years from now, a can be the arrogant **** about this as well. And then ill start learning something new again :)

    I would think my post was very relevant to the thread. That was actually more important than advising Colum. Only the first lines were really targeted at him, hinting that if you want to farm and merchant end game gear, it is better to have a mindset of looking at profitability per hour than of religously doing your dailies just because they are there.

    Maybe some people do dailies religously cause they actualy are having fun in doing them. The game is not only about profit is also about having fun too. You may find it boring in doing them everyday, others dont. And some people can do all dailies everyday and still find time to farm their gear.
    On a side note i too consider cube being a waste of time but if no one is going to do it

    Not sure why there are posters making an issue out of this, but I can agree with this list since I don't have as much time for PeeDubya as of late.
    I could make some alterations to that, on certain days, however.

    >Morai
    Good on days with active points being there. Did this to save influence for something like Shards if I was in Shroud or Luminance to sell or stocking up on Atk. Charms/ XP Pills

    >AEU
    Mostly done during BH, but another way to get quick XP most of the time (and more influence for above reasons) after PV. Wont bother with it otherwise unless its a rare multi-AEU and everything else is done

    2 FSPs, 3 BHs (none if BH EU, 2 if BH AEU), 3 BH IIs if available through active points, morai and all primal dailies only in my main.
    It has been really hard to find time to do them every day, but I'm trying to. Sometimes I even get relieved that it's BH EU and I have more time available. xD

    I'm in the same boat! I prefer bh being something rubbish then I know I don't even have to try and fit into the schedule.

    I have 3 main characters that I play. 1 is 2x reawakened, so I do all primals to get both vitae (for those annoying sky levels that keep being raised everytime I come back from a break) as well as bloods for those even more annoying passives that also keep being raised. Occasionally I'll throw her in a bh or fsp, otherwise that's it. The other 2 are only 1x reawakened so I only bother with the 2 primals that give bloods so they have a load stacked up for when they reawaken again. On occasion a bh or morai if that gives active points that day.

    I then also have a hoard of alts that I never had time to do much with, levelling them up with sign-in or wined bh runs. That was before the dreaded pill though... Now, 5/6 alts are 95+ and have to do morai quests every single day in order to get the extra skills. Not needed for some of them, but mystic for example, NEEDS to have those group buffs so I have no choice. My two new class characters just sit at level 10-20 because I physically cant play them.

    And what I currently prioritise most at the moment are my JOJ characters. As boring as it is doing those quests everyday I need the money they bring in. I just hate how time consuming it is, especially if you get 7xMysterious Friend quests...

    All in all, doing the absolute bare minimum of a few primals and morais it takes me 2-3 hours every night to do that. That's not including any bhs or fsps. That's all the time I can spend on the game and it sucks, because I dont get to do anything I enjoy with the game anymore because there's just not enough time with these dumb dailies hanging around.
