This thread was based on this GUIDE.
Miko is a great class. And like me, many people end up giving up on her because of her delay and work to get.
Why this, you ask me. OK, let’s go:
The quest involves visiting 7 different locations and using the Gohei on the magic circles.
1° Manahas - “The spirit will appear as a collectable. Orb respawns every 5-30 minutes on ONE channel.”
-Okay, no one’s going to die for 30 minutes. But how can I know which channel will appear? 1 or 2? I and three other players look for the spirit for forty minutes and find nothing. This was done by searching the two channels at the same time.
2° Klaipeda - “The spirit can be collected by more than one player. Expected to respawn every 2-4 HOURS on ONE channel.”
- I was lucky because I got it first. But two to FOUR hours?
3° Orsha - “Pray to Miko altar about 800-1000 TIMES. Each prayer takes about 10 seconds so expect to invest at least 2.5 HOURS.”
- Really? 800-1000 times? I ask myself: for what !? Why!?. If it were 100-300x Ok, but 800-1000 times? With a cooldown of 10s what makes you stand in front of the computer pressing the same button for more than 2 hours?
4° Crystal mine - “You have 7 glowing orbs to choose from. Picking the wrong one means waiting 1 hour before you can select another one. The wrongly picked orbs will not respawn, so it will narrow down eventually to the correct one. The 1 hour cooldown counts down even if you are offline. […]”
-That already depends on luck. It is said that the penultimate orb is more likely to be correct. But 1 hour is not very long time, right?
5° Pelke Shrine Ruins - “Camp at one channel and wait for it to spawn. Expect to wait around 10 to 30 minutes.”
- There is nothing to complain about here. Apart from not knowing when the last orb / spirit was caught. Just wait, no problem.
6° Uskis’ Arable Land - “Every once in a while (ABOUT 25-60 MINUTES), the plant will glow for a short amount of time (ABOUT 5 SECONDS). Interact with it while it is glowing. The glow is fairly subtle so attention will need to be paid to it.”
- Nothing against being only 5 seconds. But 25 minutes to 1 hour staring so you do not lose the orb / spirit?
7° Demon Prison 1 - “The orb and pillars are on the first floor. You can reach them by using the Seal of Space item.
Step 1: Kill about 100 monsters on second floor then return to the first floor. The orb will display a message if the threshold is not yet met. Once the requirement is met, you will receive an item from the orb that can be used on the pillar.
Step 2: Talk to the correct pillar. Pillar will respawn 1 hour after it collapses.”
- Nothing wrong here. Because already said in the guide hich is right, depending on the day. The premise here is even interesting, very reminiscent of the game: pokemon black / white (In which a pokemon appeared on a particular day or schedule).
The rest is not new and is not a problem either.
The problem is not the premise. The main problem is the cooldown time for the respawn of the orbs / spirits and the competition. Please, praying 800-1000x is an exaggeration. There is no need in that.
My suggestion: Decrease respawn time; Take away competitiveness; Decrease the amount of prayer times in Orsha; Show how many orbs / spirits have already been obtained (If there is. I still did not get it).
Apologies for the horrible English.

Please I hope you consider my opinion.
