Not really a suggestion, just an idea

I'm curious to see how my fellow knights would feel about conserving Mist Energy for later use.

As an example let's take the most profitable run on SK, FSC + Pre Terminal , and compare how long it takes to complete said run. Roughly, for an average set of players it's an hour and thirty minutes. Now some days, you may not have enough time to do such a run due to things you must accomplish in real life. Rendering you to waste a days worth of mist energy and a chance of character progression. (Because every day you play is a guarantee to more crowns and heats).

Now what if this could be compensated by being able to use something to store mist energy for later use, perhaps an empty mist tank. Said tanks cannot be traded to players or be used to exchange for crowns, Basically functions as an extension of your Mist Energy in which you can use it for crafting or dungeoning. (Or bribing Krogmo if pvp is your main thing to play). With said tank one could conserve a weeks worth of energy and by time the weekend roles by they could play their weeks worth as a weekends worth.

Lastly, also consider that perhaps OOO doesn't need to conserve all of your mist energy when storing it. Perhaps 75-25% of your ME could be conserve since it is mist which is hard to properly transfer in a sense.

Anyways all I want is to see how the community feels about this idea. Feel free to bash it if it's too stupid.

It's not stupid, but I think

It's not stupid, but I think it might be too counterproductive for OOO. Having only up to 100 ME is the whole gimmick; they want (someone) to buy CE.

you are fourth

This is, as far as I can tell, the fourth thread about this. I was third. If you search "mist condenser" in the forums you'll see the previous ones. OOO is probably never going to give players a way to manufacture CE. That'd be like a country allowing it's citizens to make their own money.

As much as I love this idea, it's taking already taking a big chance with power surge weekends.

Yeah, being able to conserve

Yeah, being able to conserve your Mist Energy would defeat the whole point of Crystal Energy.
It's not that I couldn't see this idea happening though, but not in the way you do. I certainly don't see players being able to save up to a week's worth of Mist Energy. But if OOO were ever to release small upgrades to your Mist Tank (think 10 Mist per stack, with a limit of 5 stacks or so) similar to trinket slots or Krogmo Boosters that only last a certain amount of time.

I could understand putting it

I could understand putting it into mist tanks. I sense OOO making mist tanks cost CE though.

A general heads up

This topic was touched upon earlier.

If anyone else has any ideas to add to this fellows post and my breakdown of cost effectiveness it'd be appreciated. I like the idea of allowing players to play at a more casual pace but at the cost of ce/money.
