This is amazing.

No unsync (and good job at punishing people for helping a party who lost a group member :v:), not surprising. Let me run these awful lowbie dungeons the hard way a hundred times real quick. Sounds reasonable.

The Syrcus Tower queues will be nice though.

These exchange rates are loving ridiculous. Only 34 Praetorium runs to get the earring, lol. People are just gonna end up doing preformed party Tam-Tara or LOTA speedruns to grind out the earring and maybe the unMBable diadem stuff, they'll be miserable about it the whole time, and the queue time for the low level duties won't actually get any better.

there will definitely be people who do that, but there will also definitely be people who just solo (or duo) queue for stuff because they're not interested in getting people together or their friends aren't interested, or whatever.

It's really easy to max out ARR beast tribe rep, especially if you have a 70. I think it took me a month for those two, without doing it every day? What's nice about ARR is as you rank up there's multiple quest givers so it's not just the three a day.

Also, I started playing shortly after SB came out, so no HW glams, but here's a few current pics:


AST/WHM


RDM


MNK/SAM

Currently a dragongirl, although I've tried every race. I tend to default to dragon or cat though. Planning to at least try out the rabbits. I'd try out lions but idk how I feel about playing a dude and I have so much gender locked gear. Ugh.

Edit: Also lol at that event. I might grind out the pegasus, because I'm a sucker for collecting mounts and that's the only one I don't already have other than the Ixal and Amaal'ja which are in progress.

I'd maybe wait and see what they announce later today? I think they're planning to make whm even easier.

AST is fun but requires more planning. I tend to reach for WHM more if I want healer queues but don't want to think.

Spamming Syrcus is going to be the fastest way of farming. Your allowed to premade still too so if you could get a full 24 man going they'd be netting 8-10 tomestones an hour there.

This is Canada. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.

So with a new expansion and the Crystal Chronicles re-release coming soon, you think we'll ever get some Crystal Chronicles representation? I mean, Lalafels in lilty bucket helmets or anyone with Yuke helmets would be incredible.

Historically roulettes have I think always given all the normal rewards for a dungeon/raid in addition to the roulette rewards. I don't see why that would change now.

e: I mean yeah it looks like the rewards are being added to the dungeons/raids themselves, but you should still get them when you run MSDR, or when you get a CT raid in ADR or when you get one of those dungeons in LDR.

It doesn't require the roulette specifically, so you can just select Meridianum and chain run it. It's only about 25-30 minutes compared to Prae. Fastest will still likely be spamming Syrcus, just because it's got the least likelihood of wipes and is maybe 15-20 minutes at most.

They wont even bring back the Crystal Bearer title from 1.0, I wouldn't count on any kind of marketing push for the remaster.

Eh, I'd call "hitting daily queues" leveling casually, at least compared to grinding dungeons/PotD/HoH. Granted, it's still a decent time investment.

Probably not so bad if you've still got things to level. When I was finishing stuff off I'd usually do a MSQDR, ADR (which you can game to get the 50 dungeons) and LDR.) Although that's still only like 5 tomes a day. You're not getting much off the vendor doing just that.

If you're a crazy person like me, you've already got all the jobs maxed and would prefer to not step MSQDR ever again. (...I'll probably do it for XP on GUN & DNC)

I doubt I'll get much more than forty tomestones, usually the seasonal stuff is like "three runs to get most of what you want, another ten for the big item if you like it, a full 7 hrs if you want everything and are taking your time."

yea like 2 or so hours a day of videogame is casual. Most people i know who play games play a lot more than that per day on average. we're all already playing an mmo, seems late in the game to start worrying about time wastage.

The description makes them sound like regular Gazelleskin maps, but with a guarantee of getting a portal. The fact that they're 25 Tomestones each seems a bit ridiculous, but I guess it's intended for static groups that can quickly farm up tomestones and then mass do them.

I think you can actually farm it pretty well if you have friends and GC airships to do gatherer-Diadem with.

Only way this tomestone payout structure makes sense to me if the 1/2/3 tomestone payout is per objective in the duty. (Plus, that would track with them saying 'objectives that award x' instead of 'duties that award x').

Arguably you can farm the maps (or the money to buy them) way faster than the 25 mogstones for the guaranteed portal map (e: if it's really just 1/2/3 tomes per run instead of a more generous reward structure, that is).

What's the regular chance for a portal?

That or it's a representative value of the duties. Like 3x the amount of tomes for doing these, 2x for these and 1x for these.

I was hoping that was the case when reading it again this morning (and who knows, maybe there was a translation error and it will be?) but from the site it sounds like that's the raw number, not a multiplier

MSQ roulette and a Raid Roulette and hope you get a Library or Tower. Unless all healers go on strike that week then maybe some challenge log big ticket items like the two FATE completions.
