Partner Gifts

    I'm aware of that, but that would require wasting a bunch of time gathering - they require 10 cobala and 10 xermetal ore each. Is there no non-broker way to buy gifts anymore?

    I've just been buying a bit of ore each day off broker before starting my dungeons for the day and crafting them since the puppy ones don't require any crafting level. It sucks but hey gotta do what you can

    That's disappointing because it significantly ups the prices. Crafting costs the same as buying them did - more if you have the 5% discount in Cutthroat Harbour - and based on the prices for ores when I looked on the broker yesterday (there were none at all the day before), it's cheaper to just buy the figurines at 5-10x the prices they were at the merchant.


    I really don't understand this decision. What purpose does removing the ability to buy gifts serve? I haven't looked, but I'm assuming you can buy gifts from the store?


    Oh well, guess I'm not using partners anymore.

    Did you try sending your partners to "Aurum Road [Ore]" adventure? Not sure if it's the same as in EU, but there I usually always have one going there, and I have way more minerals than necessary to craft those gifts, they even start to stack now:



    You can also send one to "Tempest Reach [Essence]" for the achromic essences:
