Also the item1/item2 tags are inefficient too for crystal farming. Crystals don't always appear on nodes compared to the guaranteed shards. I'd want a way to just farm crystals, and skip nodes that don't have the item I have.
I imagine this wouldn't be too hard to implement coding wise? Maybe have a profile option for this.
The main problem here is that I don't think I have any way of "quitting" the node. In reality as well it would require some sort of blacklist system which can quit the node and keep away from it for the rest of the task which is a little more added complexity. For the rares I would have to add some additional tags to support that kind of setup as well, and all of this again leans on the fact that I can just "quit" the node in the first place.
I'll have to do some research to give a more definite answer, but it's probably a "one-sitting" project if it's possible. That being said, I'm working on some much-needed crafting improvements at the moment, so that will probably come first.

21 or 22
Or try 21.5 tho that may not qork either
ok will give it a shot
The eorzea time only supports whole hours right now.
Maybe in a future update I'll add 4-digit support, but messing with time is annoying.. sooo.. meh.
