Which are the money maps? The 8 man ones I'm assuming or is the roulette wheel just as good on the regular ones? It's the portal room that is the big payout yeah?

gazelleskin maps will send you to either the lost canals or altars

in the lost canals or altars, you have the chance of finding a thief map which leads you to a hidden canal

I always have such bad luck in maps. Seems like everyone else comes away with 10 million and I barely cover map costs.

So much for me getting the other two GARO mounts, especially the Feast one because that queue never pops whenever I try it.

The achievement doesn't say that it requires ranked or anything. Has anyone tested whether we could get together and do matched parties to grind it out?

Yeah, I gave up bothering with them after a while since the time and effort involved didn't seem worth the profit? Maybe we just had lovely luck, but I dunno. :shrug:

Unironically. If you have Eureka Pyros unlocked just do Bunnies there. You make 10-100k a box and have a chance at stuff that sells for millions without any overhead and it can be done solo if you want

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
Maps are best when you're doing it as a chill activity and not as "I am a serious money maker here to make money."

Get drunk. Get high. Get in voice chat.

Maps are the best as a chill time with friends that hoot and holler at the doors/roulette. It is a chill funtime where you make money.

This isn't my first class on this character. I already got to 70 with my MCH, and I don't want to run MSQ Roulette just to get leveling gear for my BLM. It's why I'm undergeared. I don't have the gil or the tomes to be at max gear every level. I've largely been relying on dungeon drops since 50.

Poetics should be dropping like nuts from lldr ADR 50/60 and Trials queues on your levelling jobs, which you should do everyday if you want more exp. MSQ also dumps an insane amount of exp for the actual amount of time spent, so I would recommend hitting it up at least a few times per job you are levelling.

Alliance Roulette is supposedly higher EXP per hour than MSQ according to something some dude on Reddit did.

How much does it take for the set of Garo armor/weapon? I think I have wolf marks capped, and could probably get at least one or two of the mounts.

I think you can have it done before the expansion launches if you do two frontlines a day. You gotta remember, it's slated to end 5.1. That's at least 3, 4 months after expansion launch, so October at the earliest. And, on top of Frontlines roulette is genuinely one of the better sources of XP/min, so you're probably gonna want to do that levelling through the expansion as well.

It originally didn't ship with that. That was actually added at a later date to help sell the fakeout.

I know the training matches count towards the Feast one because that's how I got my one win towards it. I don't see how it would let you do two matched parties and let you grind it up that way though.

The fake outs are genius. Hooting and hollering about the doors is like half the fun of maps.

The other half is getting into the perfect position to emote during the cutscene zoom in.

the only bad thing about maps is that they stopped with the fakeouts really early. surely they can go even deeper. have it send you back to the main map and then suck you back in 2 minutes later

The feast queues are like 5-10minutes at most right now with the new season. I just started playing it this week and it’s been really fun and something different. Luckily decided to get the Garo stuff a coupe of weeks ago so I’ve already gotten started on them but if you want feast queues now is the time. Queues were popping instantly at peak time on primal the other day.

As far as toxic people only one match I’ve seen someone spam nice job! At someone and that’s because they were godawful and lost us the game by not picking up the winning medals then dying and we fell apart as a team. I’d say do the bare minimum and read a short feast guide before you join because getting matched with a bad player will usually cost you the game since it’s 4v4. It can be pretty frustrating when a dps ignores the target countdowns/focus and will be off on the other side of the map plinking away at the tank or healer. Like no one is going to harass you for being new but at the same time why wouldn’t you just read a quick guide about how it all works?

Has anyone else been having lag skips ever since the patch dropped? It's making dungeons and other things difficult.

Also, I went into Eureka for the first time in months today and lag made it pure torture instead of the more diluted torture it normally is. Why do I want a dyeable Seventh Hell coat? What is wrong with me?

Well, depends on what class you play. Tanks and DRGs got a good one in HW: here, which got mirrored for mDPS in SB: here.

If you want a more generalized thing there's a lvl 1 skirt that anyone can wear with funny tights, but if you have long boots it covers them up and has better coloring than the MSQ skirt: here. Note that these are a skirt/tights on females about the same length as the ones from MSQ, and shorts on males. As far as short skirts go, this is pretty great, since it has shorts underneath.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, the tank/mdps one is the one I was talking about earlier, and it's roughly knee length. The other two you posted are very miniskirts. I just want a non-mogstation option, and right now that's only the demon skirt. :rip:

There's a custom match option that lets you directly queue as two 4-player parties. I have no idea if that counts, though.

I mean we cleared it on the first try but that's not what I'm asking. Are the fights a confusing mess for everyone or just me?
