    A keen T2 weapon/glove etching might boost your dps by around 3% while a grounded T2 chest/footwear etching might reduce damage taken by around 3%.

    Getting kicked out of LKNM does not constitute as hard content.

    Oh looks like someone wants to be a smartass eh?
    I'll have you note that my posts regarding getting kicked out of LKNM for ridiculous reasons were on my sorcerer (if you actually bothered to read up properly before trying to shitpost)

    Just get Etching II for your main dps or tank. Healers are so OP with healing. If you want +15 VM, then you'd better get etching. You don't want to do less dps than +12 sorc/ ninja.

    I wouldn't do nearly 10 days of 4x ace dungeon for +12 perm etching. It's just so boring.
    or
    you can use +9 crit on weap/ glove with keen foods.

    Anyone who says they play casually and don't use them probably just suck [filtered] and get carried through things.

    I play as brawler semi-casually and don't use etchings, yet still can do well enough in hard content, so idk where you got that notion from :^)

    you play "casual class" of course you dont need etching lel

    You can get T2 etchings doing Ace Dungeons daily. They take a couple minutes per run. There tends to be down times, so just run them when ever you're waiting for groups or something.
    On average, at least for me, I get around 220 Ace credits? per run.
    It takes 8000 credits to purchase one Tier 2 etching from the Ace Dungeon Mrechant.
    You can do a maximum of 4 runs (2 Baracos' Trial and 2 Akasha's Trial) per day. 
    8000 points * 1 run / 220 points * 1 day / 4 runs = 9.09 days

    For 9 days: 
    220 points / run * 4 runs / day * 9 days = 7920 points

    So technically, you can try random missions and get lucky for more points and get a Tier 2 etching in 9 days, or
    Grind 10 days for a free Tier 2 etching

    I usually do Timer and Hit from boss because having to do S+ rank for 150 combo on Archer is just pure cancer. doing that with Timer? kill me.

    use reset instances

    You do realise that at the time that post you quoted was made, it wasn't possible to reset the Ace Dungeons, right?

    Now that Ace Dungeons can be reset, I got my first Keen II Etching tonight for my weapon, 3 more etchings to go ;) Cheers
