I wasnt that worried about maxing him instantly. I hope youre not suggesting that putting bugs in odd corners of buildings is easy.

Look, you were specifically comparing Wriosthely's materials to other characters, and compared to them it's definitely easier. Not even close to being as bad as having to comb huge swaths of desert and (at the time) unmapped underground caverns, to collect a bunch of bugs that blend in with the background and will disappear if you're too slow. Also easier than having to climb cliffs and mountains for flowers and mushrooms, or having to run all over the place to zap purple clouds with electro, or those lumps of wenut poo that were also in unmapped caverns. Oh, and then there were the onikabuto beetles, spread out in a lot of hard to reach locations, and annoyingly most of them were right next to other local specialties so you couldn't even use character passives to find them faster.

The process of ascending characters with gathered materials so that you can level them is in and of itself dumb, lets not go down the path of it isnt so bad.

That's not a discussion I was having, either. Again you specifically compared this to other materials, and I disagree about it being as bad as them.

In fact in general Fontaine has been making local specialties less of a pain to collect, which is good because the trend seemed to be that it was getting worse as we went through Inazuma and Sumeru.
