Wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe allow players to earn a Moglophone II just by touching the Goal at the end of any of the 3 Sheols per week. One for each zone, so you can go "Free" once per week just by traversing the zones, in addition to whatever Segments you earn as a result. This would heavily incentive doing Seg farms in lower zones too, and you'd make money, segments, and get credit towards a free entry to Gaol. Or something like it.

"We just found our new gold tier reward for next Vana'bout! A consumable item that grants one(1) Moglophone II. We'll give them 3 of them as a reward. Like how everyone enjoyed their 3 Ebers Earring +1s when opening their cases."

They already did give out 10,000 segments reward from Vana'Bout not long ago, if I'm not mistaken.

They did, and its been an available reward in VanaBounts round 3 to 8.

(10k segs is a shitty top-tier reward)

Free daily Moglophone II sounds like another decent campaign for Odyssey.

A weekly RoE for this like the free Seal would be pretty spiffy. I don't think we really need more than one. Maybe rotate the Sheols.

I said one for each zone per week, because if it was 1 Moglophone II once per week, it'd take a person 3 weeks to gain access to one Gaol. Even One entry to Gaol per week is a small thing, but it would be a lot better and encourage someone to actual do the lower Sheols for a free Gaol entry chance. Its basically 9k free segments a week, at the cost of 10 minutes of climbing to the goal.

With how hesitant newer players are with the content and the ridiculous amount of FUD from wannnabe elitists, I think you might be right. It would encourage (or possibly even enable) more people to at least make one go at it a week, or more likely to help others.

I'll go further and say what'd be bad about getting a free Moglophone II every time you got to the end of A/B/C? What's the harm?

Knowing SE, you'd only be able to get one if you have less than 3 Moglophone IIs, forcing you to use at least one of them daily so you couldn't stack them indefinitely. Otherwise, it'd end up like Voidstones and people could just stockpile Moglophone IIs and skip Segment farming completely. In such a case, a free Moglophone II is only as helpful to a newer player if they are entering Gaol on a frequent basis to use them. The gifted phones are worthless if they're being handed out and not used. That's why I suggested weekly, because many groups don't gather for Gaol on a daily basis, but it's pretty easy to do at least one boss per week.

It would also mean that players can basically enter Gaol for free every single day and never need to farm segments, which would defeat the purpose of segment farming entirely.

Don't really see a problem with that. It also fits the *use it or lose it* model they like so much. You only benefit if you do gaol every day.

You're saying "elitists" are spreading FUD to gatekeep old content from new players? Do you have any evidence or examples of this?

That doesnt even make sense lol

Then again, that would be a very valid reason for the new people to do the climbs organically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It just doesn't make sense to me, I don't see what hypothetical elitists would gain from gatekeeping people from doing odyssey.

Unless by gatekeeping you mean not carrying people, then that's a different discussion.

Free entries don't convince people to help.

Better (any) rewards for repeats do.
