Other than doing my 3 daily contracts, what are the best ways to accumulate chimes?
I'm visiting isles to harvest resources, but with a sale price of approximately 1 chime each, seems a bit tedious. If this is just a tedious task, okay, but if there are better methods I'm all ears!
It is rather grindy. Doing the Tales of the Arc miniquests helps, as well as buying all of the upgrades from the Waiko Reward Shop.
Also, if you process the raw materials, you can sell the products for more than just the raw resources. The wiki article has a chart of how many chimes you can sell things for:
I've been completing the miniquests as well, but keep getting hung up on high level requirements. I took a break from harvesting resources to get 90 Hunter for Jed Hunter. But my next hang up is now needing 90 Divination.
