Wonder how you're supposed to do trusts for Bardam's considering that canonically you did it solo (I think?). Same with the primals, no trusts there.

23/50 Tomestones, just a little under halfway to my Pegasus.

After that I might keep at it to see if I can get the Minions. I wouldn't mind the Lanners either, but I figure I can grind those out in a farm someday. The Pegasus/Colt plus Brachio and the Bucket come from the Diadem and Fishing, apparently, neither of which I will ever, ever do so it's a good chance. I refuse to grind them out though, I'm just getting 5/day from Main Scenario and Alliance Raid roulettes, that's my limit.

The lanners in question are trivial to get currently, and will become even moreso in 5.0. I wouldn't spend the irregular tomestone on them unless you have everything else you want; but if you do, prioritize the white lanner whistle - both Ravana and Bismark are easy at this point, but Bismark has a lot of forced downtime, making it more annoying to farm.

Could anyone who plays BLM on controller share their crossbar setup?

Me and my buddies got the Tam-Tara MogTome farm to under 4 minutes. Here's what we do:



I mean, yeah, this thing's obsolete in about 3 weeks, but hey, summer vacation. Besides, people out there are doing *ugh* MSQ Roulette for these tomestones, and I can't just let that happen.

That'd be awesome, except I am just coming back and have no levels in Blue Mage and am still re-learning the game :saddowns:

Yes. You get 3 mooglestones but you can't skip cutscenes. So do it while you have something else to do during the downtime.

The alliance raid roulette is basically guaranteed to give you one of the crystal tower raids right now(so long as you've unlocked them) which are potentially quicker and reward 2 mooglestones.

You mean by ADR? Gear yourself in level 50 gear I suppose. Or any gear that drops you below the minimum ilvl for the level 60 raids.

Or just don't do the quest to unlock WoD for new players. Do unlock Void Ark, though, that's as easy as Labyrinth and Syrcus if not more so.

Well should be trivial. I got the other birds fairly easily. Bismark appropriately is my white whale. 80 totems and counting. It's faster at this point for me to grind to 99 totems than go for moogle tomes probably.

Isn't it 99 totems with 1 totem per run? That doesn't sound trivial.

I've never done any raiding/trials that weren't random queue.

I'm at 35 totems currently and was thinking of blowing my moogle bucks on the rose lanner since it looks like the best looking mount.

I think with a small group, you'd get enough drops for the whole party before you got 99 totems. I see mounts drop a fair bit nowadays.

99 totems assuming you don't just get the mount as a direct drop within 99 runs. If you farm the trials at level 80 with a couple other people you all will probably get the mounts pretty fast.

Do you still get drops if you run them at higher level? I suppose that would make it a lot easier to farm. Well poo poo now it's harder to decide what to spend my moogle bucks on.

Also, anyone have trouble with their square enix store preorder? They keep sending me emails about OMG check your payment details since we're about to charge so I gamely went and checked and hit the charge now button and it comes back: rejected fraud. Every credit card I put in does this. It seems like they have no online chat so support is the contact form hell hole.

I got that email too but I just assumed it was like the warning they send a few days before the charge you for your sub so I didn't do anything. I just figured the money would come out when it comes out.

Small sample size, but we farmed Bismark 2 weeks ago and needed 26 runs for 5 mount drops, so it might be a 20% drop rate now

No it’s just a charge to make sure it’s already paid for so they can send it right away at their release.

They said the first wave of shipping will be done the 24th, I assume (hope greatly) that it will be the wave of shipping for international customers so that people outside US will get it before the early access code cuts off (this happened to me with Stormblood. Thanks for charging me 65$ US shipping and then have it take over a week to get to me)

The other wave gets sent out on the day early access starts.

Queue straight for Syrcus tower also because it has the lowest chance to gently caress anything up. And honestly in my experience has been slightly quicker than LOTA or WoD
