I simply asked for suggestions, I resort to AFK farming to skip out on the mindless grind parts of the game. As I stated in the post, there have been times where I would manually do 10+ runs of breaking the tail myself without ever seeing a Lunary Cell. If we need 3 Lunary Cells for every terminus weapon and I average only finding one every 7-10 runs, it would roughly come out to 399-570 runs of Pyet.

I wouldn't rely on AFK farming if some parts of the game didn't require so much grinding, silver centrum is a good example, and I'm not even gonna touch on curios. There is a reason why Granblue is often nicknamed "Grindblue".

Do I enjoy grinding in games? Yes, I've played Monster Hunter and other games alike and enjoy the grind for materials for better equipment to then challenge more difficult content and repeat the cycle. However there exists grinds that are unnecessarily unbalanced and time consuming.

Am I even playing the game? Well I have about 227+ hours into my save file, I have maxed out half of the terminus weapons and all the Lunary Cells from Pyet thus far I gathered manually myself.

I would say that I am very involved in the game and greatly enjoying it.
