Midway into rank 9 and stopping from now. The rank 9 quest got me ivnested in the story though
With the whole ||Mikoto getting kidnapped||
but what's more is that I've noticed through dialogue through skirmishes and boss mechanics in critical engagements is that this really is a direct continuation off of the Ivalice raid series
particularly where it ended/teased the Empire going through the ruins after the players clear it
find it quite nice
unreal wadi
seemed like the legatus knew that
the garlean empire was crumbling
so they took their entire legion to create a new base
the lore about each character is neat
you learn a lot about gunnhildr's blades
as well as the Garlean Beastmasters
Interestingly, most come from Dalmasca
eager prairie
yeah I haven't taken time to read through the collection bios I've collected; need to do that haha
unreal wadi
should take a look
its not so heavy in terms of detail
but it provides information as to why they're here fighting
for what side they are on

I'm feeling stupid. I unlocked BSF and did that until rank 5, until I learned that you can upgrade your relic weapon just by doing HW FATES, with 100% drop rate for gold. I've done a few now and haven't gotten anything that remotely resembles an upgrade for my relic. Am I missing something? The last Resistance weapon quest I completed was "A Sober Proposal".
low aurora
Ah there we go. I was currently sitting at a sub 80 job so the icon above his head was locked. Thank you.
lunar sinew
Can anyone show me what Woeborn Recollection and Crownsblade Recollection look like?
iron dove
It's faster to get the quest items for relic upgrades by doing HW fates rather than the bozjan front right
lucid geode
Much faster, yes
since getting a gold rating gives you a 100% chance to get the drop
iron dove
Is the drop rate higher?
Oh sweet
Seriously, got 10 of the first one in no time at all then went like 30 skirmishes dry
lucid geode
used up all your luck
vagrant sinew
I prob used up all my luck yesterday getting that fucking mount

I envy the guy to managed to sell his on ragnarok for 25 mill about an hour before it dropped to 3 mill ha

Yeah
lucid geode
3 mil almost sounds too cheap tbh
iron dove
37 minutes after servers went up

The mount is pretty easy to get tbh
What Imm doing
Is finna stock up on the mounts
And sell them when no one is doing bozja anymore
Big brain strats

I mean... it's easy in the sense that it is completely random 😅
lucid geode
my stack of damn indigo stars is at 67

I mean, it's neither easy nor hard to get all those lockboxes and fragments tbh
It's just grindy
Put in the time, get rewards

What i am just wondering is that, is the droprate bugged and about to get fixed, or is it really supposed to be so common
lucid geode
If you do I'm gonna steal your magical lucky charm because at this point that is confirmation of you having one

3.9mil here in twintania
on one hand I could've made mad dosh bc I got the mount in the first 2 hours of the patch
but on the other hand
it looks badass

it'll drop down hard and then slowly go up when people stop doin bozja

kinda sad about the low drops of the tomestones but I guess it was the same in eureka when it first came out?

vagrant sinew
oof
autumn heron
Almost rank 10
Also do you need the clusters in your inventory for the mount?
Cause I cashed all of thwm for holster equipment
Or are Bozja clusters something different from the others
gaunt star
i think the clusters are for like, the hairstyle and a construct mount
180 for the mount
and a music roll, hairstyle, etc
other than that unsure
wispy vector
i completed "a sober proposal", where do i go now to upgrade the relic weapons?
lucid geode
There are two mounts, one you can buy with clusters, the other is pure luck from lockboxes
shrewd grove
both are tradable atleast
lucid geode
@wispy vector Talk to Zlatan
He has a new quest now, which I missed too for some time
wispy vector
he doesn't have a quest for me
lucid geode
Then maybe go unlock Bozja first, I'm not sure
Either way, quest from Zlatan is the next step

Hey Guys anyone have Screenshots of Lost Cure I to III?

Just talk to zlatan
Also damn that twitter account
They are mocking us 😦

I'm hoping Lost Cure IV is just Square Enix Teasing us WHMs about WHMs maybe getting Cure IV in the Next Expansion

They were right and I hate them

Oh red chocobos in FFXII are level 99
meaning they are stronger than the literal gods in the game

@wispy vector you need to have the weapon in your inventory somewhere

not equipped?
vagrant sinew
I think it can be equipped but as long as you have it on you
wind tendon
hey so, for the tornado in cerberus, I remember not getting hit but I'm unsure how I didn't get hit, does anyone what's going on during that mechanic or is it just a healcheck?

Its the same for all the relics, just have an extra weapon handy

But then I just did one weapon in like an hour
So... do HW fates

anyone know what to do with bozjan coins?
tropic frigate
i dont
lucid geode
You trade them in for Bozjan gear
gaunt star
is there an efficient way to farm the clusters yet?
tough fern
Clusters are for.....the relic?
gaunt star
no no, for the purchasable items such as the mount, emote, hair etc
vagrant sinew
tbh I might as well go and farm hw fates instead
I hope they fix the drop rates in bozja
tough fern
Then what are we collecting in Bozja for the relic if not the clusters¿
gaunt star
the memories of the dying crystals
but there's a cluster currency in bozja you can spend with an npc
thorny sleet
need to take on the quest outside in gangos or they don't drop.... learned it after I was rank 10 lol
vagrant sinew
I got metallic silver
marsh osprey
vagrant sinew
it is but goddamn I fucking hate the memory drop rate in it
I mean I still need to do HW fates for another yokai weapon but after that
it's gonna get quite boring
glacial turret
@tough fern probably just the resistance gear which, iirc, is gotten from the rank 10 dungeon. Relic can be gotten much faster with.... heavensward content
And the clusters for hair, mount, etc

🐦 hi

🐦 hi
wet crown
I feel like the atma drop rate inside bozja is off
even if farming for fragments is the way to get them, too
glacial turret
I think regular mobs have higher drop rate and you nerd a murder party for drops, but ppl are focusing on fates and CE’s for bozja rank
vagrant sinew
interesting
glacial turret
Which is counterintuitive imo
next quarry
You said it strangely
vagrant sinew
so basically best way to get the memories in bozja is go murder hobo on everything you can find
except rank 4s and 5s you can't solo them fucks
glacial turret
Yes, but a party would be ideal i think
Also works for clusters
Clusters have much higher drop rate from normal mobs
next quarry
Clusters are from machines
vagrant sinew
fucking weird
next quarry
Can get them at a high rate from rank 3+
glacial turret
What I do is pull random mobs around skirmishes and since everyone is aoeing shit they just die and I get drops
soft gyro
ok, soo, red chocobo isnt that hard honestly once you get it
but, everyone is moving too early on the meteors

they are shifting to the next position one spot early

healing the meteors going around the stage hurts a LOT
to where i almost cant keep up
soft gyro
cause they arent doing it correctly
ive literally taken almost no damage if its done correctly
tropic frigate
made it so intense the run i cleared it
faint dagger
correct. the only unavoidable damage on red chocobo is the rotating proximity markers phase and the meteor towers
the + and hawkblaster is fully avoidable damage

the rotating proximity markers don't do much damage to me tho

No lost actions are super needed really
Just bring damage boosting stuff
Though you can bring stuff like arise, phoenixs and extra healing if you're concerned
Mechanic wise its not super hard and mostly straightforward if you're paying attention to see what the boss is telling you
You can survive 1 hit of most stuff

Does Normal Roullete count as the lvl 60 dungeon for quest?
gentle lynx
question, how does one qualify to join a solo engagement?
I take part in the crit engagement but i'm not qualified for the 'vetting'
lucid geode
I assume it's based on your performance in the critical engagement and a good portion of luck
gentle lynx
i got gold :/ so it's probably not 'performance'
lucid geode
Well then it's luck only 🤷
I've got selected a few times but only got in one time
It's really rare
needless to say I did not win
gentle lynx
i've only seen the bare start for a lot of them
tropic frigate
it seems to be not getting hit by anything with vuln stack
i got it twice in a row not getting hit
however the pick is random afterwards
gentle lynx
For example, Dispel looks like it's mandatory on Beast King to get rid of that wind buff
lucid geode
Nah, getting hit with vuln stacks has nothing to do with it
gentle lynx
And Manawall we now know is mandatory on Gabriel
lucid geode
Because when I first went into Bozja the Cerberus CE hit me with the tornado thingy
And I still got into the pool for solo afterwards
gentle lynx
I'm betting Reflect will be needed for the pyromancer
lucid geode
Was it Scorpion then? 🤔
I don't remember, it was literally 5 minutes after first joining 😅
gentle lynx
there's a rare FATE in the last zone where you kill that healer girl, and then have to fight both a mech and the pyromancer at the same time
lucid geode
Point is I got hit
gentle lynx
After that it's the Kyubi CE
mechanical Kyubi
and THEN, you get the pyromancer
for solo engagement

@gentle lynx Based on performance during a CE. Do damage, and don't get hit by anything

Just re raise 5head
maiden lodge
We were told it'd require some preparation.
Critical Engagements feature an element where one player is selected for a one-on-one battle against an enemy.
The player who did exceptionally well in the Critical Engagement immediately prior will be requested to deploy for the one-on-one battle (you can also choose to not participate). If multiple players are requested to deploy, one of them will be selected at random. These one-on-one battles require skillfully using Lost Actions in reaction to enemy movements and can be quite tough.

Unless it's literally JUST "Raid wide damage get fucked"
next quarry
I think you can evade void tornado
gaunt star
It better not be
odd yoke
It doesn't cover the whole area
odd yoke
The upgrade items can drop in castrum
next quarry

odd yoke
gaunt star
I guess nobody knows lol rip
odd yoke
From saving prisoners
gaunt star
Isn’t it 1000 coins for a single piece of armor?
drowsy belfry
What's Castrum Lacis like btw?
gaunt star
What is it for one piece?
gaunt star
Oh thank god lol
drowsy belfry
Not been lucky enough to get into an instance with enough rank 10+ yet
So I've only seen the entrance
drowsy belfry
Yeah I figured
odd yoke
So you can split the groups
drowsy belfry
Oh well, just a waiting game on my end
gaunt star
I’ve heard as long as the people aren’t brain dead it’s sweaty but not really that bad
Just like an alliance raid with some extra steps
Is the base gear dyeable?
odd yoke

odd yoke

gaunt star

dim sigil
The prices are going to sink I'm sure
swift kraken

odd yoke
@gaunt star yes the base bojza gear is dyeable
odd yoke
If you only want it for glamour its not expensive
gaunt star
Yeah pretty much lol
odd yoke
The resistance supplier after clearing castrum
wet crown
Okay. This is suuuuuuper gimmicky and RNGeezus but the Ether Kit restores 20% mana when your MP drops too low. But with Spirit of the Breathtaker, the chance for the Ether Kit to stop is reduced to 10%. Now, who can make use of this? I'd say BLM with Despair spam. But that ofc means you'd have to farm the kit a lot.
gaunt star
@odd yoke what's that compassion pin stuff?
@wet crown can you explain for us idiots what that pin you put up means?
the compassion pin stuff is different types of forgotten memories
which you appraise and get lost actions from
floral aurora
Guardian Angel for 500 rezes? Makes me want to go in there as a RDM
gaunt star
ooooh it's the types of duty action things then?
also yeah Castrum needs bodies....like it popped for my instance and only like 10 people signed up despite there easily being 50 odd people over Res Rank 10 in the zone
next quarry
@floral aurora stand near the red chocobo CE and you'll get it fast
gentle temple
This is replacing PotD style content, and PotD and HoH both dropped 'rare' stuff from the previous expansion.
floral aurora
Thank you! I really want that title, fits my character xD
gaunt star
@odd yoke what do you mean by the Bozja Gear is upgradable? What does it upgrade into? Isn't it just glamour?
gentle temple
So no surprise there.
odd yoke
It gives the armour haste
floral aurora
Honestly this is better than Deep Dungeon in the long run
gaunt star
and haste in FFXIV does what?
next quarry
Increases speed
gaunt star
what kind of speed
gaunt star
oh so it just lets you cast stuff faster then
gaunt star
it's not?
odd yoke
It throws off your rotation
next quarry
Yeah
gaunt star
ooooh
odd yoke
If you have too much
next quarry
But since Bozja is at 430, it can help
floral aurora
Damn nice
gaunt star
do we have pictures of the full bozja gear yet?
next quarry
We have NPCs with it
odd yoke
Tanks can use some to get to 2.4s gcd
viscid monolith
Haste is fine since you're GCD is so high in Bozja.
odd yoke
For stuff
viscid monolith
Especially Warrior
floral aurora
Tanking is so much fun in there
odd yoke
Or need a specific gcd tier
If you dont have a speed tier to hit then its not that great
odd yoke
Not really. Bard doesn't need speed
gaunt star
.......sure we do.....Speed...Mettle
floral aurora
Play the job you have the most enjoyment. I been doing it solo and with party
Soloing is fun
viscid monolith
As far as I know ranged dps don't want any speed
gaunt star
yeah but...Speed Mettle, I just want to shred
floral aurora
This is what Eureka was "supposed" to be like
shrewd grove
even lower gcd mech 
gaunt star
the completionist in me wants to finish Eureka
the realist knows I have no real reason to do it
floral aurora
I cant do it lol
gaunt star
Bozja is infinitely more fun
shrewd grove
i wanna do eureka for the armor but god it looks like a grind and a half
floral aurora
Eureka could be a blu thing later on
plain sierra
okay! I've gotten some sleep and may be able to understand things now.
IF I do only HW Fates and get 60 Sorrowful Memories, will that satisfy the requirement, or do I need the other types as well?
vagrant sinew
tbh eureka having blu means they'd have to make new relics for them
and they'd have to be only glam
then again all blu weapons are glam
polar star
What's the best way to farm memes in Bozja?
odd yoke
Farm higher rank mobs and do fates. What mob types drop memes are pinned
scenic vigil
exactly how are the BSF armors obtained anyway? is it known?
polar star
@odd yoke the pin shows frags, not memories
odd yoke
The memories for relic drop from basically everything
odd yoke
The sorrowful is area one, tortured for second area and harrow for 3rd area
I do believe
Just farm mobs and stuff
snow zodiac
Do we have a way to know when Castrum will be up? Everytime its come up for me either I'm in a CE and can't join, or everyone else is
odd yoke
Like everything gives thrm
At a chance but you can farm mobs fast
The going theory is 1 hour when there's enough 10d
polar star
second key
gaunt star
when u have the level 10s but they dont join castrum
and nice
i just kept getting indigo star and classy parasols 
scenic vigil
when u have the level 10s but they dont join castrum

scenic vigil

scenic vigil

timid solstice

scenic vigil
k coming
timid solstice
oh yeah I just got rezzed
maiden lodge
Eureka won't be a blue thing later on unless they change the fundamental philosophy of how blue is made. Right now it's explicitly banned, meaning it's banned in the same way it is from duty roulettes and potd--it's nothing to do with level requirements
scenic vigil
i dont even really want that
unreal wadi
scenic vigil
to me the idea of blu doing ultimates is way more hilarious
unreal wadi

idk what square enix is thinking
scenic vigil
i like blu as it is
odd yoke
You get more time
next quarry
Square Enix is thinking that eventually there will be enough rank 10s
marsh osprey
they playtested it with 48 players and thought this is good
odd yoke
When you beat bosses
scenic vigil
it serves to be a remix on old content, essentially
scenic vigil
also im loving the CLL salt
marsh osprey
not enough vinyl
scenic vigil
you can tell who didnt do eureka
next quarry
How hard is it to get organized runs of CLL
marsh osprey
hard
scenic vigil
the BA discords do them
next quarry
If people are picked randomly
