Can you farm tournament wins or will I have to like, pay people or something?

You only need 10 wins per tournament, so unless you're completely awful it shouldn't be that hard.

You get 30 games per tourney and the match making is through the DF so unless you and a friend are the only people queueing there's no real way to farm them besides playing. You only need... 4? tourneys with 10+ wins to get the Penguin.


...but you should be playing anyways because Lord of Verminion owns bones.

(Also, other grades of crystals use exactly the same mats, but return better profits. And selling them in stacks of 99 is most assuredly either stupid, or trying to make money off someone's stupidity.)
On the other hand a shitload of things people would be using for glamour is level 1, so grade 1s would likely sell faster.

Lord of Verminion is the only part of this game I have to play with kbd+mouse to retain my sanity.

Putting the opening tutorial on a 10 minute timer (which can cause you to fail out while fighting the lovely gamepad controls and have to start it over again from the beginning) was kind of a dick move too.

It's an i135 weapon when i210 is the current top end. Whatever benefit they are going to give on the new relic line will almost assuredly be inconsequential or trivial. So either you really want that glamour, or you don't.

Hmmmmmm, nope. As rad as Last Resort Zeta looks, it's nowhere close to worth that many hours of my life if it just ends that far short of the current content.

Might revisit it later if I really want that Z title, though....

You can skip the first step of Anima if you have a Zeta. Which looks like is atma again

When talking about the first step in an interview he also said something to the effect of "If I had a zeta, I would skip it!"

And then he laughed.

if you can get past atma books the rest of it is pretty quick now if you're willing to just sit down and pound it out. since you're not going to be using the weapon for real content, you can just meld whatever is cheap and alexandrite maps give a guaranteed 5 now, you can just muscle it out of the way with poetics if that's your bag. the alexandrite from fate drop rate is still relatively miserable tho.

light farming is a joke now. sastasha unsynced gives 48 light outside a bonus window, 96 in.

zodiac dungeon drops are now guaranteed, and with heavensward crafting gear hqing the 50*** for turnins is far easier. you still need desynthesis for raw materials, and there's no getting around 1600 poetics and 80,000 company seals. if you rush alexandrite right here and mahatmas is where it bites you in the rear end and you'll need to do some hldr/main story roulette grinding.

mahatma farming got the same nerf light farming did, two sastashas will finish a single mahatma. one in a bonus window.

me and a friend started up with nothing a little more than a month ago and really only working on it weekends finished the zeta sunday

oh yeah the easiest way to do it is get a loving buddy because you'll want to kill yourself after doing sastasha unsynced for the 30th time alone

Thanks for the info. I have everything I need but the crafted items. I just wasn't sure if I should continue seeing if L50 roulette RNG throws me into a dungeon I need or just take my l51 jobs and queue up for the specific dungeons. Finished up light last week and soloed DD/AV/Haukke HM on my Scholar to kick that process off but I might as well get some class leveling done with this process.

there is something thst is really really bothering in this game wich is gil , money in this game for DOW/DOM has no use except for teleport/gear repair and some quests here and there , other than this there is nothing usefull .. the only thing left is the house wich cost tromundos amount of money ! that you naver can make except from DOH/DOL wich is actually as will has no benifet at all , the only tow things those classes make good is dyes and galymour , the gear they make is weak .. they are 11 classes that has no use at all , all gears i can get them fron raids and alex and solederty .. so in short there is no point in leveling them up , they are not even fun to level up . if someone would say you can make stuff like airship parts .. then why 11 classes ? 2 or 3 max ar good .. and the pain when you need to level all of the holy 11 so u can use each one effectvly ! for peple who did level tham up .> what do you do with these classes ? even galymours and dyes can be sold via NPC . and the worset part .. those classes look exactly the same .. exept they change the names and the picuers of the ingrediants .. so .. baiscly its the same class over and over .. and you do the same thing over and over for days and months .. just to make gil ?

here is a simple suggestion that can make gil more easy , gear level up < yes gear level up .. we can level up gear and then sell them on the market .. no materia , no pain .. no 11 to level up , the endgame gear is so powerfull even if you attach tones of materia you will naver get there and its aveilable for everyone , so yes i suggest gear level up from 1 to 10 and we sell them in the market later on , this can make a lot of change in the game > out .

I never played XI or any other MMO really. For me it's because not using legacy means I've got one potential escape direction where I only move half speed.

I've played tons of MMOs before, but same. Moving at half speed in a direction is dumb. I'll take missing an AA or two per fight over losing a bunch of speed when I want to get out of/into a circle. Then again, I play SCH, maybe it's different for melees.
