[brisk quail]

Hallowed ground needs a 5 second cooldown in Bozja

[earnest sedge]

No bis is great but how are the stats rounded down though?

[odd yoke]

Irs hard swr

[unreal wadi]

Indigo Star

Indigo Star

Indigo Star

[brisk quail]

Indigo star baybeeee

[earnest sedge]

Got my gab key earlier today ><

Could never be happier ;;

Got 50 indigo stars before i got the mount

[unreal wadi]

I got a parasol, at least...

[earnest sedge]

It sells for 700 gil..

[unreal wadi]

Don't care

If its not an indigo star

its good

[earnest sedge]

Even the mount devalued

So much

13 mil

To 2 mil

[shrewd grove]

i mean people are eager to make a quick buck

[brisk quail]

If its not an indigo star
its good

Tenacity Materia for you.

[shrewd grove]

so they undercut alot

[vagrant sinew]

ngl I should've sold the fucking mount when I first got it

[earnest sedge]

Ill just blame it to bc im on JP now

[vagrant sinew]

would've made a massive profit

[shrewd grove]

yeah sell early

[vagrant sinew]

like

[shrewd grove]

then buy-back later if you havent ogtten another one

[earnest sedge]

Idm i wanted the mount

[autumn heron]

question

[vagrant sinew]

fc leader mentioned someone buying the mount for 10mil

[earnest sedge]

If i get another then ill sell it

[vagrant sinew]

so I could've sold it, bought it for 2mil

bam

8mil profit

[earnest sedge]

Thats also true

[shrewd grove]

this assumes that it sold for 10m

[autumn heron]

when farming Bozjan clusters are there specific enemies I should be going for

[uncut tide]

someone just beat the 1v1 in my instance

[earnest sedge]

I got mine in day 2

[ashen wyvern]

anyone knows how much time you must wait between two castrum pops ?

inthe same instance

[earnest sedge]

So by the time i check mb

[uncut tide]

gave the whole server a bonus on mettle earned for 30 mins

[earnest sedge]

Its 2 mil already

[unreal wadi]

Oh.. firelight's coffin

[earnest sedge]

@ashen wyvern ive only seen it pop twice in the same instance

Sometimes once

[unreal wadi]

is where the dalamund incident happened

[earnest sedge]

Depends if new or old instance

[unreal wadi]

which destroyed bozja to bits

[earnest sedge]

And how many levelled people join the instsnce

[deep lily]

does anyone here know price for Magitek Helldiver F1 minion?

[autumn heron]

the issue with Castrum is that in only pops when everyone is in a critical encounter

[brisk quail]

Don't do CE 4head

[faint dagger]

So what actually causes castrum to pop?

[odd yoke]

@uncut tide can you ask the guy who beat it what he got, the full rewards

[earnest sedge]

Just the amount of level 10's i think

[uncut tide]

@odd yoke i believe its 99 lockboxes, 9k mettle and the title

maybe more

[odd yoke]

Anything else

[royal spruce]

I say the next patch these Relic tools will be better than Penta meld

[odd yoke]

Ask the guy if you can

[royal spruce]

They're dangerously close to outpacing

[odd yoke]

So i can add it to the guide

[uncut tide]

tbh i dont have names on lol

[odd yoke]

Ask in shout

They're probably still there

[faint dagger]

What's the title?

[wheat rapids]

for some reason I can't advance the Lost No Longer quest even though I have a forgottoen fragment

[next quarry]

You need a skill one

[odd yoke]

Gabriel downfall @faint dagger

[uncut tide]

just asked

[faint dagger]

huh

[uncut tide]

he said 99 lockboxes and a title

instance buff for 30 mins

[viscid monolith]

I made a party of people rank 5 and up

[uncut tide]

hes already max lvl and got 0 mettle

[next quarry]

What's the buff?

[viscid monolith]

But for some reason they keep going bottom

[uncut tide]

@odd yoke

[odd yoke]

Whats the buff

[uncut tide]

its called high morale

[next quarry]

Does it increase damage

[uncut tide]

no just bonus mettle on skirmish and CEs

[next quarry]

For everyone?

[uncut tide]

yeah

entire instance

[next quarry]

Whoa

[earnest sedge]

So if you are rank 15 and have 0 mettle

Lol

You buff your instance?

[autumn heron]

Are there specific enemies I should be killing to farm Bozjan clusters

[viscid monolith]

Ones that are easy to kill

So rank 1 and 2

[rain onyx]

[next quarry]

@earnest sedge no for doing the 1v1

[viscid monolith]

Although rank 3 might have a higher drop rate

Oh

[autumn heron]

So it is mainly the robot enemies

[unreal wadi]

15 man lacus latorie

let's go

[autumn heron]

thats a wipe

[earnest sedge]

O ic

[gaunt star]

anyone know how many coins you get per castrum clear?

[swift kraken]

almost cleared with 28 people

didnt manage the dps check on lyon though

[next quarry]

It's possible with 24+ iirc

[swift kraken]

mostly because people didnt know how to do it

we had to pretend we knew what we were doing as a party and it almost worked

[next quarry]

Yea

[swift kraken]

[next quarry]

First time and all

[unreal wadi]

Ah yes...

died on the first attack

definitely not enough people

[swift kraken]

we gotup to lyon though so progchamp?

its def duoable as 28

24 maybe

[vernal haven]

[swift kraken]

youre gonna take a lot of damage though

[unreal wadi]

15 people joined my one, didn't exactly work out

[earnest sedge]

Soon when wveryone is levelled

[vernal haven]

15 oof

[earnest sedge]

Full instance castrum

Ez

[vernal haven]

wveryone pgogo

[lament breach]

I wouldn't count on it

[swift kraken]

when people know how to do essences

pressing pot hard?

[vernal haven]

bozja is casual content tho

[lament breach]

My instance has plenty of 10+s and only 3-4 people join castrum lol

[earnest sedge]

Its just a matter of time

When people get to 15

No reason not to try

[lament breach]

Assuming they're not in Heavensward grinding FATEs for relics, sure

I'm sure the BA/Eureka Discords are organizing things though if you're in the market for Castrum

[next quarry]

I'm almost done with 2 of the memories

I think I'll just queue castrum normally

Sounds more fun

[swift kraken]

you have to do it anyway

at least once

[brisk quail]

Me: bro. Lets do castrum

Castrum: 17 players

[gaunt star]

got to lyon

lyon group kept wiping

my party was MHHTTTTT

[swift kraken]

you wont make the dps check

lyon dps check is actually

[gaunt star]

that was the one downstairs

[swift kraken]

fairly high

[gaunt star]

upstairs was standard THHDDDDD

[brisk quail]

Me: heh that boss was no problem

Top guys: ...

Mobs: continue spawning for 40 seconds

guys...

Top: ...

GUYS?!?

[swift kraken]

you need 1 and a half parties who know what theyre doing all essenced out at least

[maiden lodge]

So, HW fates might NOT be the fast way

[swift kraken]

they are

[gaunt star]

^

[swift kraken]

play blu

[gaunt star]

100% vs chance

[swift kraken]

life hack

[earnest sedge]

Just BLU

Ez

[gaunt star]

100% is always faster

[maiden lodge]

Just you hang on

[earnest sedge]

Lvl 5 death all u need

[swift kraken]

hanging

[earnest sedge]

And launcher

Missile

[maiden lodge]

I went as WHM down to the second bozja aetheryte

[next quarry]

Chaining enemies might be better if you can find the right pack and party, but the chance is still low

[maiden lodge]

Used Dia to grab a big clump of mobs

Holied them down SO fast

Rank Is

[next quarry]

Ah

[maiden lodge]

got 3 things super quick

That's alone--imagine a group of 8 doing it in 8 spots

THAT is optimal

[brisk quail]

Everyone: pfft. Rank 5 mob? I'm rank 8. I can take em

Bozja Rider: you're one funny mf, you know that?

[earnest sedge]

You got a point there, still i bet alot of people wouldnt be bothered right now and would just rather level at the moment

[maiden lodge]

People are comparing HW fates to Bosja fates. They're not harnessing the power of mad AoE grinding

[swift kraken]

its not rank 5

its rank V

[earnest sedge]

V for Vuck you

[brisk quail]

Rank V(ery Hard)

[swift kraken]

know the difference

[odd yoke]

me in shout: dont take thos duel if you dont have manaward

The guy who gets the duel: bruh there's no warning idk wut to do

Kms

[swift kraken]

tomorrow im gonna

idk

[odd yoke]

[swift kraken]

i have my earrings

[maiden lodge]

Earrings don't do anything right now

lawl

[swift kraken]

they give you haste

[brisk quail]

Rank (you're gonna get f)☆(cked)

[swift kraken]

it does work

[earnest sedge]

How much faster are u with haste

[swift kraken]

& they give you 30% exp under 80

not much actually

[next quarry]

#lodestone-news-na

[maiden lodge]

No, Indigo, they don't

[north fulcrum]

They gave 10%

[swift kraken]

1 point of haste is

[north fulcrum]

it's a typo

[maiden lodge]

They're bugged.

[earnest sedge]

10%

[swift kraken]

0.02%

err

0.02

gcd

[maiden lodge]

It's a typo. Also they don't give 10%

Because the 10% is bugged

[earnest sedge]

Eh 0.02

[swift kraken]

nice

[earnest sedge]

Not significant enough no

[next quarry]

Cursed earrings

[swift kraken]

so 3 points of haste is

0.06

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, it's a known issue

[swift kraken]

thats unfortunate

[north fulcrum]

Yeah 0.06 is pretty major, it's why haste was so huge in Eureka

[swift kraken]

im not gonna level anyway so

i have time

[earnest sedge]

I cant use that as SMN though wont i clip like hell

[swift kraken]

[odd yoke]

But then it fucks your rotation

[earnest sedge]

Ye

Wouldnt work for some jobs rhat rely on aligning shit

[north fulcrum]

You use different gear to hit your SkS cap

[swift kraken]

youd just do your rotation faster

[autumn heron]

just found out DPS cant solo mobs in Bozja

welp

[north fulcrum]

I mean you can but it depends what you're fighting

Rank 1-3 mobs are easily solo'd

[earnest sedge]

youd just do your rotation faster
@swift kraken not how it works i think

[north fulcrum]

Rank 4, yeah

don't

[earnest sedge]

Your shit is faster

But your dots are the same

[autumn heron]

rank 3 robo mobs have a 50% chance of dropping clusters

[viscid monolith]

Guys

[earnest sedge]

So stuff would be missaligned

[swift kraken]

ah yea it doesnt speed up dots

[autumn heron]

they are all weak to magic

[north fulcrum]

Your rotation will break if you do that. Instead you drop some of your SkS

[swift kraken]

speeds up everything else though

as a healer im pleased

[north fulcrum]

It lets you put a lot more crit/dh on

because it's more efficient than SkS

[viscid monolith]

There's an item in Bozja for tanks that increases dealt by 90% but increases damage taken by 200%

[north fulcrum]

Yeah I use it

almost always

[viscid monolith]

Effectively making you a dps with a really easy rotation

[next quarry]

Ye

[earnest sedge]

Right

[next quarry]

Try not to tank when using it though

[north fulcrum]

you can't stop me

[swift kraken]

its useful in castrum

because theres always someone who has voke in their rotation

[viscid monolith]

I got smacked for 60k using it

[earnest sedge]

What essence to use as dps

[swift kraken]

theres one that gives crit and dmg

[earnest sedge]

Caster

[odd yoke]

I use skirmsher for now

[swift kraken]

i assume that one

[earnest sedge]

Right

My thoughts too

[maiden lodge]

So, bitter memories in the front

[brisk quail]

Rank ☆ Mob: oh ho... you're approching me? Instead of running away like a little baby you're coming right toward me!?

Group of 8 healers: I can't repose the shit out of you if I don't get closer

[swift kraken]

15% crit 25% dmg

[viscid monolith]

Oh Gabriel Alpha only sells for 3 mil. That's not enough for me not to use it.

[swift kraken]

i got the 96% dmg on healer recently

[earnest sedge]

Just use death @brisk quail if alone

[swift kraken]

im saving it for the 1v1

[earnest sedge]

DO NOT

[odd yoke]

Yeah same

[earnest sedge]

Use it in groups

[odd yoke]

I got that

[earnest sedge]

Using death in groups makes it so only you get full credit

I.e dick move

[swift kraken]

we just partied up

lol

[odd yoke]

Now if only people who have no idea how to do the first mechanic stop accepting the duel

[swift kraken]

no one is going for star mobs

who cares

if they wanna try it

they should be able to

[north fulcrum]

Lot of people on primal farming star mobs

[earnest sedge]

Peeps go for em u know how maby frags they drop

They drop like 20

[swift kraken]

on chaos the star mob scene is dead

we have farmed thme bascially solo for 2 days

got the earrings that way

[maiden lodge]

time to test if bitter memories also drop from what in Bozja

[earnest sedge]

Peeps here are split between mettle, fragments

[next quarry]

Only people at Rank 15 are doing cluster and fragment farms sadly

[earnest sedge]

Nahhh

[next quarry]

So I just hand around 1-2 people 5 ranks above me

[earnest sedge]

Lvl 8 peeps do em

Alot of em doit

Oddly enough

[next quarry]

I mean

In aether

Everyone wants to level

[brisk quail]

I honestly need the mob fragments

Not the ☆ rank mob frags

I'm out of the healer/death spam essence

[earnest sedge]

Need more essence

If only essence didnt dissapear outside of instance

Thatd ve tok easy though

[maiden lodge]

So

in the time from when I said 'time to test' to now

I entered bozja, started AoEing mobs, and got a bitter

Rando rank Is

2

[vagrant sinew]

god I'm so close to being done with my rdm relic

[vivid notch]

PepeHands

[maiden lodge]

3

[gaunt star]

TRUE

[grand parcel]

question: what should a tank bring into lacus litore

[gaunt star]

my luck is so dogshit

[maiden lodge]

4

[odd yoke]

Tank probably just a defensive stance then whatever 2 actions you want

Nothing is really mandatory

Take damage increasing stuff for faster runs or bring cures/raises for safety

[merry knoll]

Hey guys, what to do after lvl 15?

[dim sigil]

clusters

[odd yoke]

Farm fragments and relic stuff

And clusters

[merry knoll]

maybe I should read the pin first but do you have any suggestion where to farm?

[odd yoke]

Pins for the type of mobs for fragments

Area 1 is sorrowful, area 2 is the yellow memory.

Area 3 is red

[gaunt star]

castrum popped but majority of 10+ in fate

pain

[maiden lodge]

1

5

[merry knoll]

TY guys, that's very helpful.

[trim seal]

Sooo

What would be a good place to talk about bozja and castrum, here?

[uncut tide]

LETS FUCKING GO

[trim seal]

Don't know if it is already said but it would seem that the castrum pop is consistent 60 minutes from the start of the instance (new fresh instance)

aka around 120 minute mark

[gaunt star]

fuckin nice

[timber lichen]

has anyone ever actually seen someone beat a 1v1

[trim seal]

That being if you have enough +10 rank people in, would recommend doing the fates on the top area

[odd yoke]

Yes

[uncut tide]

@timber lichen yeah i just died earlier

[timber lichen]

how

and did it take 5 years

[odd yoke]

I have a guide on it

In pins

[timber lichen]

how long does it take

[odd yoke]

The fight is 9mins until enrage

[timber lichen]

9 minutes worth of health

[uncut tide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbHcUqVrZZk&feature=emb_title

[timber lichen]

[unreal wadi]

wow

so it has been cleared

[uncut tide]

thats the clear video

[unreal wadi]

i havent seen a single person

clear this

until now

[timber lichen]

that ui is a mess

[odd yoke]

Its JP

Its starting to be clearws

Since the fight is entirely known now

And mechanic solutions are found

With a guide on reddit (mine)

[uncut tide]

got this from castrum lol

[odd yoke]

Castrum actions are strong as hell

[uncut tide]

yeah i need more ranks to unlock the ones i got

[odd yoke]

Healer one is damage up by 96%

[uncut tide]

yeah i saw that one as well

[warped parrot]

What's an efficient way to farm clusters

[maiden lodge]

aoe grind

[warped parrot]

?

FATEs then

[lilac crest]

The fight doesnt look bad honestly

[odd yoke]

Its not

Just very very punishing

For mistakes

[maiden lodge]

No, I just said 'AoE grind'

that's not fates

[plain saffron]

Literally hit everything

[merry knoll]

so you get cluster for first hit?

[pearl basin]

Anyone know if someone has done a showcase of all the new Relic weapons?

[maiden lodge]

The quest literally tells you

[next quarry]

@warped parrot clusters is from various machina

Rank 3 has the highest drop rate

[severe brook]

so on the subject of Lady of Blades
||i have a theory that the form we've seen so far won't be her final form||
||she'll probably transform into something that resembles Asura's usual appearance by the time we fight her.||
||maybe by Misija merging with her physically idk.||

[next quarry]

@pearl basin bad Wolfy on YT

[pearl basin]

@next quarry Thank you!

[next quarry]

https://youtu.be/BjoMwM359Dw he also did one on the armor

[unreal wadi]

and there you go

all the armor set

[warped parrot]

Oh k, just farm T3 machines

[pearl basin]

Oh ok I’ve seen that video already I should of checked his channel 😝

[maiden lodge]

6 and im done

[faint dagger]

gaaaaaameeeers

[maiden lodge]

Okay so just did a hard test of aoe grinding mobs

[wanton steppe]

anyone got a pic of the mount Construct 14

[odd yoke]

I dont think anyone owns it yet

Too many clusters

[wanton steppe]

i am at 81 atm

slow progress

[maiden lodge]

4:39->5:18, in that time I entered the instance, went to my chosen aoe grinding spot, put on my preferred loadout, started aoe grinding, and got 5 red memories, and 6 bitter memories + 30 fragments of compassion and however many clusters.

Can you do 6 Antitower runs in 39 minutes?

Also, this is solo. Imagine a party of 8 all sharing drops but at 8 different aoe grinds

[next quarry]

If you grind in different zones prob

[maiden lodge]

Yeah, not aoeing in the same spot

[next quarry]

I wanna organize a party for that

[maiden lodge]

But, even for bitters, this is just plain fast

[next quarry]

Rank 2/3 mobs are worth pulling, rank 1 is only worth if they come with

Rate is too low tbh

[maiden lodge]

No, no, rank 1s

I did that with rank 1s

[next quarry]

Clusters or memories

[maiden lodge]

memories

[next quarry]

Ah then yea

[maiden lodge]

BITTER memories

[brisk quail]

Do i need to start another relic to start earning memories again?

[next quarry]

I have memories in my head

If you've completed the step

[brisk quail]

Fuck

[maiden lodge]

But starting another one is easy

Just, always keep one on the go, profit

[unreal wadi]

man there's just

not enough people for castrum

[maiden lodge]

So, I'll say once you get your first relic down, HW fates and antitower spam is obsolete

[unreal wadi]

not enough players at lvl 10 or higher

25 players

is... possible?

[maiden lodge]

By definition it only pops if you have enough I think

[brisk quail]

25 is barely possible I'd say.

That's with a comptent team though

And people split up properly

And with essences

And being not garbage

[odd yoke]

28 is possible so 25 should be fine if the splits are balanced

[brisk quail]

If they're garbage though...

Don't count on it.

[odd yoke]

12/13 split on first boss should be fine

[brisk quail]

I still say 48 or bust

[odd yoke]

Then last boss only needs 1 full party split

[brisk quail]

48 is a nice safety net.

[odd yoke]

With full 48 everything would fall over hard

[uncut tide]

so for the bozja gear do i need to buy the gear first or the secret only

oh wait im dumb

the augmented one is there too

[wary pond]

got 200 clusters

but idk what to use it for

[uncut tide]

buy the mount lol

and sell

maybe stock up on actions too

[grand parcel]

people tell me there's a discord that's trying to help people get into runs of castrum Lacus Litore, anyone know where it is

[wintry hazel]

Sounds like Eureka server

But there's a couple of them specifically for DCs

[wary pond]

thought about buying priority thingy

since i need alot of criticals

[odd yoke]

Eureka Explorer discord has links to them

[wary pond]

i didnt know mobs drop 2nd stage relic mats

finished step 2 without trying

[odd yoke]

Area 2 mobs should iirc

I think they're just split into their respective area

[wary pond]

stage 2

bitter memories

the dungeons one

[odd yoke]

Oh those

Idk im not on that step

Been lazy and just holding on step 1 to stock up

[wary pond]

i got 130 clusters in 2 hours

[wintry hazel]

Yup Eureka server has them

[next quarry]

Where did you farm

[wintry hazel]

Currently about 2 DCs?

I'm still looking for Elemental / Tonberry

[next quarry]

I need Clusters

[wary pond]

the pond on very north of map

[next quarry]

Oki

Pulled everything?

[wary pond]

there are alot of mechas

rank 2 and 3 have higher chance to drop clusters

rank 1 very rare

we kept killing em for 2 hour

got from 73 to 200

[next quarry]

Nice

Alrighty

[wary pond]

hmm

mount is 6 mil

meh no point

[next quarry]

60 mil on Midgardsormr for construct 14

[wary pond]

whoa?

whats the name again

of the whistle

[next quarry]

Construct 14 Identification Key

Im looking on the app

[maiden lodge]

i didnt know mobs drop 2nd stage relic mats
@wary pond

Yeah the quest said it does, and I just tested it.

[maiden lodge]

You know those birds just down the ramp from the third aetheryte gate?

Grabbed all of them, holy/misery/assized them down, killed the scorpion to keep lilies going, rinse repeat

[wary pond]

the site isnt updated

or act still down

[grand parcel]

i think im jsut gonna wait unti lmore people on crystal reach rank 10...

[wary pond]

i never got any past 6

does it no longer drop?

after 6?

[maiden lodge]

I dinno I never tested

[wary pond]

i need to test levelling roulette

later

[maiden lodge]

But at 39 minutes for 6

[wary pond]

be4 i finish the quest

[uncut tide]

CEs don't give guaranteed bitter memory?

[wary pond]

no

not even normal

is guaranteed

[uncut tide]

So rng like regular memory

[wary pond]

at least im done with 1 relic

2 left

yes

[grand parcel]

so how long til' yall think castrum runs will be common? i'm betting at least a week from now

[wary pond]

it started today

but i missed all of em

[lilac crest]

I had 3 castrum instances

6 people joined

👍

[wary pond]

i mean runs

that passed 1st bosses

at least

[open verge]

Ye castrum is rough rn

[wary pond]

we had instance that had 40 10+

but run already started

[lilac crest]

Lucky bastard

[wary pond]

so rip

[lilac crest]

Primal is trash

24 people

But they all leave

26 actually

That shit is good enough

[wary pond]

actually nvm

[open verge]

I just tried it

[wary pond]

non in MB

no mounts

[open verge]

My group didn’t have enough healers

[lilac crest]

Lmao

[wary pond]

gotta check rest of chaos

free 60 mil gil

[brisk quail]

My groups in a nutshell

Me: bottom helldiver at 12%

How's it looking up there?

bad

what do you mean bad?

It's a 72%

How the fuck

[open verge]

Lmao

[wary pond]

50 mil in cerb

[open verge]

I might sell the mount

I need money

[warped parrot]

Why wouldnt you sell, you'll get it back day 2

Then it's a free fall

[wary pond]

30 mil in louisoix

[faint dagger]

How is bottom group for boss 1 compared to top group?

Top group was comfy

[brisk quail]

Bottom is fairly easy

They just gotta body block some attacks as dps

I MT and its easy

[faint dagger]

right

[brisk quail]

So i dont have to do shit tbh

[faint dagger]

I got in my first group today and we full cleared but I saw top group so

[brisk quail]

I just tank and dont die

[polar star]

I've yet to get into castrum

:/

[faint dagger]

i'd offer you hot boss tips but it won't help the other 41 people or whatever

[brisk quail]

Like.

Little dudes will pop down.

Do stack up lines toward the battering ram

And dps need to body block

[wary pond]

25 mil in ragna

[faint dagger]

all ik is when your shotcaller opens up a boss explanation with 'so for you who've done SoS ex'

[brisk quail]

Then he spawns like...

titania-esq tethers which dps also need to swap.

But there's like 5 robots doing that any time

So you just need people to be smart

[wary pond]

guess i will sell 24 mil

[polar star]

I'm gonna start grinding memories from fates

I want to get GNB recollected

[faint dagger]

I had cure 4 and i didn't really need it much

[brisk quail]

Like.

Magic/physical imbue is needed

[faint dagger]

i probably should've grinded for Arise

Yes for sure

[brisk quail]

[In the parties in general]

[faint dagger]

Second boss takes physical damage

[brisk quail]

And then maybe stoneskin

[faint dagger]

Steelsting is needed for casters

esp cause we apparently scathed the enrage even with

[brisk quail]

Tanks probably want a manaward or two idk really. Just guessing

[faint dagger]

Last boss was a clusterfuck tbh

I died to the exaflares more than id really like to admit

[brisk quail]

Maybe a heal banner

Just incase for some emergency rez

[faint dagger]

yeah i think it's definitely clearable without leaning on lost actions

but for it to be comfy

you for sure need them

[uncut tide]

Yeah I had 5 lost arise with me

[brisk quail]

Like steelsling/magic equivalent is needed at LEASTA

[uncut tide]

Used 2 stacks

[faint dagger]

but then again ppl have headless chicken syndrome

[heavy crane]

What're all the ways to get bitter memories?

[faint dagger]

Oh yes steelsting and spellforge are MANDATORY for at least one per party

[uncut tide]

Really helpful to Rez healers since they have full mp

[faint dagger]

level 60 dungeons. daily leveling roulette. that is it

[wispy brook]

and bozja fates

but those are more rare

[faint dagger]

bitter

i don't believe those drop from bozja

[wispy brook]

you can get bitter from those too

[faint dagger]

oh?

hm

[wispy brook]

I got 2/6 from there

[brisk quail]

Stoneskin is nice comfy for tank.

15% hp is ALOT

[heavy crane]

Will the leveling roulette give it even if I've already done it for the bonus today (But before I had the quest)?

[faint dagger]

yeah cause uh

[brisk quail]

That and popping it on a low healer means the diffrence between dead and not dead

[faint dagger]

this place got tankbusters

they hit

I think what'll save groups the most is getting the switches search really efficient

[brisk quail]

Oh.

And dps and tank/heal essences

[heavy crane]

What 60 dungeon are people spamming for the memories?

[brisk quail]

You CAN NOT run without them

[open verge]

What are the rewards for casteum?

[brisk quail]

You are mega dumb

[faint dagger]

Coins. You buy gear with them

[brisk quail]

What are the rewards for casteum?

New coins
New fragments for new actions

[faint dagger]

And augmentations to make the gear have bonus properties in bozja

[open verge]

How many runs for a set tho?

[faint dagger]

Many

I did my run, wasn't perfect, I got 20

Gear pieces cost 18-28

[brisk quail]

I heard.

1 run is like 20-ish coins

And aug gear is like 400-900

[open verge]

Aug gear is what ilvl 😩

[faint dagger]

Well

[wary pond]

seems aug is to ease duels

[brisk quail]

Aug gear is what ilvl 😩

Its like eureka gear. Only for eureka grind

[wary pond]

to those without actions

[faint dagger]

Ilvl irrelevant tbh, the aug is to give it eureka gear properties

[wary pond]

or bad at dodging

[open verge]

Ohh

[faint dagger]

The base form is dyeable

[open verge]

So every gear is dyable tho right

[faint dagger]

ye

[lunar hound]

so for the Third Time's the CHarm quest, should I come back with a full party or can I just avoid the mobs?

[open verge]

Good good

That’s all I want

You can sell the gear too right?

[maiden lodge]

What 60 dungeon are people spamming for the memories?
@heavy crane

Antitower seems to be popular but mass aoegrinding rank is in bozja is faster

[open verge]

I’ll probably sell the gear then

[faint dagger]

Didn't check

Could be, could be not

[maiden lodge]

unless you can do an antitower in 6.5 minutes

[brisk quail]

If you want the gear for glam.

It's gonna take like 5-8 runs per armor type.

[faint dagger]

There's one phase in Castrum where efficiency and speedclear is rewarded with bonus coins

That will logically get cleaner

[brisk quail]

If you want the augment for bozja farm.

Good luck lmao

[open verge]

What zone for the red memories??

[uncut tide]

Yeah the prisoner

[brisk quail]

Just get the earrings and call it off

[faint dagger]

third

[open verge]

Eh I just want the glam

[maiden lodge]

earrings are from an achievement

[open verge]

Not interested in bozja gear

[maiden lodge]

not from castrum

[brisk quail]

earrings are from an achievement

Mmhm

[open verge]

Because if you can beat the casteum why would you need the gear

[wary pond]

need 1000 fragments

[brisk quail]

Hence my point..

Get the earrings and call 'the bozja grind' off

[wary pond]

for earring

[north fulcrum]

Makes clearing it faster and it will be good for the next areas

[uncut tide]

Gear is for the BA thing next patch probably

[maiden lodge]

Also the sellable things are the 'Bozjan Runner's Secrets' which are not what you trade for coins apparently

[brisk quail]

Gear is for the BA thing next patch probably

Castrum is the Ba thing tho

[uncut tide]

And the actions and pots that you get are really powerful

[sterile galleon]

OI

[maiden lodge]

Castrum is not BA2

[sterile galleon]

OI

[uncut tide]

I mean for the 5.45 one

[wary pond]

castrum is too easy

[maiden lodge]

It's the BA-lite

[sterile galleon]

OI, new stuff on Femhroth?

[wary pond]

to be ba

[sterile galleon]

I hear there's a teaser

[uncut tide]

Yup

Cutscenes after you leave the instance

[sterile galleon]

Our gal Gunnhildr, surrounded by handmaidens

[open verge]

Is she hot

[sterile galleon]

I hear she's got hips

Fuck, I need to see this shit

[maiden lodge]

But Castrum isn't supposed to be BA-hard, it's supposed to be 'grab randos and yolo' hard

[sterile galleon]

^ Male Viera leaked right there

[brisk quail]

This is what peak male performance looks like

[frigid sage]

are we getting more bozja maps btw?

[brisk quail]

You may not like it...

[frigid sage]

or just southern front

[brisk quail]

Southern-er front.

[open verge]

But Fr can someone send the female Hrothgar

Dm me for science

[brisk quail]

I still think the cost of the aug gear is ridiculous

[maiden lodge]

i mean it's for its own sake

[faint dagger]

they really do expect us to be doing castrum lacus for a while

it is anything but one and done

[odd yoke]

I mean it has stupidly strong actions

[faint dagger]

i didn't actually get any actions from castrum when i cleared

what are we talking?

[odd yoke]

Deep essenses

[faint dagger]

I mean I was impressed when we were waiting at a star mob and someone walked up and godrolled a Death oneshot

[gaunt star]

Anyone have pictures of the castrum armor? Or is that a rumor

[odd yoke]

Like the healer one is increase damage by 96%

[open verge]

They showed it

[odd yoke]

Also stuff like

[faint dagger]

It's what the resistance dudes wear

You can see it

[odd yoke]

Ew that’s it? 😢

[open verge]

How do you farm the clusters?

[odd yoke]

Farm normal mobs

[gaunt star]

Idk but I have 60 of them from doing random shit

[open verge]

Does it matter which

Only have 20 lol

[odd yoke]

No

[autumn heron]

Bozjan Clusters are farmed from robotic mobs

[unreal wadi]

ok um

lyon aint doable

[gaunt star]

Star mobs

[unreal wadi]

with 21 people

[odd yoke]

You just need 1 full party up

[unreal wadi]

We got quite far

[autumn heron]

barely doable with 25

[gaunt star]

you expect me to farm star mobs

[unreal wadi]

but 21 people

isn't enough

[gaunt star]

Smok one shot me and 20 others

[north fulcrum]

Don't get one shot

[odd yoke]

Tanks need to tank it

[north fulcrum]

[odd yoke]

And use defensives

And healers actually heal

[gaunt star]

I’m tank and I used lost abilities

And my own abilities

[north fulcrum]

Tanks cycle defensives and use lost abilities as you swap between tanks

That's what we did

[gaunt star]

Unless I did something wrong

[autumn heron]

this is the FFXI zone remember

[odd yoke]

Defensive cooldowns are needed

Like

All the time

[north fulcrum]

It's like FFXI

[open verge]

What’s the mount called

[autumn heron]

healers cant DPS here

[north fulcrum]

You aren't supposed to tank it

[gaunt star]

Well kinda hard to coordinate swaps with randoms

[north fulcrum]

unless your CDs are up

[gaunt star]

I told them to tank swap and they all left stance off

[faint dagger]

We had 26 people in our group and we full cleared

[north fulcrum]

If your CDs aren't up you're just buying time until you die

[open verge]

What’s the mount name

[gaunt star]

Well my rng in pugs are shit

[north fulcrum]

The true FFXI tanking experience

[gaunt star]

Construct 14

[faint dagger]

Which mount?

[gaunt star]

I believe

[open verge]

Other

[autumn heron]

theres 2 bozja mounts

[gaunt star]

Oh idk

It’s gorilla thing

[autumn heron]

Construct 7 and 14

[gaunt star]

Robot gorilla

[open verge]

No

[faint dagger]

Gabriel (alpha)

[open verge]

Thx

[north fulcrum]

By the way does rank 13-15 get me anything? Rank 12 and noticed nothing since 10 obviously

[faint dagger]

it's an alpha symbol

[north fulcrum]

Unless it's stuff after the memories

[autumn heron]

Oh right

[open verge]

Prices tank

[autumn heron]

Im thinking of something else

[open verge]

It’s more lost slots?

[gaunt star]

No clue Fred lol

[north fulcrum]

Ah ok

Makes sense

[open verge]

Kinda useless lol

[north fulcrum]

Eh, lets me bring more stuff for more jobs

without having to swap

[open verge]

True

[north fulcrum]

Although 99% I just tank with the +90% damage lol

[open verge]

The price of the mount is dropping 😩

[north fulcrum]

me dps

[open verge]

2mil now

[gaunt star]

Anyone on crystal have mount prices?

[uncut tide]

Yeah tank is baby mode

[north fulcrum]

To be fair

DPS with the +defense buff

are pretty chunky

[uncut tide]

96% lol

[open verge]

Tank is def ez mode but I need to level my tanks so

😩

I used the dps essence and got one shot has tank

[north fulcrum]

But yeah it's nice and comfy

[open verge]

So that’s cool

[faint dagger]

mount price on crystal was 12mil yesterday

[open verge]

I’ve just been selling my lost actions

[faint dagger]

Idk today

[open verge]

It’s good money

The mount is prettt easy to get so the prices r fucked

I’d wait before I sell mine if I even get it

[warped parrot]

Anyone know what you can do with extra "Field notes" that you get from Bozja? Or just discard

[maiden lodge]

trade for lockboxes

[odd yoke]

Trade to the historian

[warped parrot]

Oh nice

[north fulcrum]

He's to the left of the exit of camp

iirc

[open verge]

She’s right in front of the entrance

[merry knoll]

is it possible you'll get re-rank from 15?

[open verge]

Next to the pink Hrothgar

[topaz dune]

so to enter the castrum the weather has to be rainy?

[odd yoke]

No

Weather doesn't affect it

[north fulcrum]

Re-rank? Do you mean lose rank? Cause you can't de-rank

Only lose unspent Meddle

[merry knoll]

those meddle is only use for ranking right?

[north fulcrum]

Yeah. The higher your ranking, the more Meddle you get from all content, but the more Meddle you lose upon death and return

[faint dagger]

... it's mettle

[open verge]

Ye metal isn’t that important

[north fulcrum]

Hey guess what fuck you

Semi-related but

I loved on GW1

Sliver Armor

cause people would call it Silver Armor

and people would get triggered

[frigid sage]

so

[uncut tide]

I wish they upped the coins from castrum

[gaunt star]

If you get the mount sell it cus the shits gonna drop in the future lol

[uncut tide]

28 per clear kinda bad

[gaunt star]

Sell it for a shit ton now, buy it cheap later

@ above people

[frigid sage]

what's the point of mettle after rank 10

[faint dagger]

Do we know how many coins you get for theoretical perfect rescue phase?

[gaunt star]

I’m assuming they’ll release another zone unknown

[odd yoke]

You need higher ranks to appraise the castrum fragments

[gaunt star]

Like eureka

Or that too

Lol

[odd yoke]

Plus extra holding space

[frigid sage]

hmm

makes sense

[uncut tide]

28 is max coins per clear right

[brisk quail]

Mobs in zone 2 is the only way to farm the base essences?

[north fulcrum]

Require Bozja to unlock Beastmaster

[sterile galleon]

Ah, there we go

[north fulcrum]

[sterile galleon]

Femhroth

[faint dagger]

don't get excited

[sterile galleon]

I'M GETTING EXCITED

[faint dagger]

don't

it's bad for your health

[north fulcrum]

I can't wait for them to be NPC only

[sterile galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/exited-excited-charlie-always-sunny-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-gif-6196158

[unreal wadi]

Even though we had like 21 people in the castrum run

We still got up to lyon & got some loot

[faint dagger]

||they're shown ingame as femroe with zero custom alterations whatsoever||
there are your femhroth

[north fulcrum]

Hahahahaha

[open verge]

yep

game sucks lmfoa

[north fulcrum]

to be fair, ninja waifu was also just a miqote model originally

[sterile galleon]

^

[north fulcrum]

before she became an au ra

[faint dagger]

I mean I always said they could just subtly alter femroe model and get away with it

[open verge]

ok but they had the decency to give yugiri a mask

[north fulcrum]

Hroth shares Roe but it's unique enough

with how it poses and such

I like it

[unreal wadi]

yeah

[open verge]

ok but thats not what a fem hroth would look like 🧃

so now im angry!!!

[north fulcrum]

Yeah who knows

I'm sure it'll use Femroe model

but like

[open verge]

its literally just a roe

[topaz dune]

||i have a feeling that silver haired twatt will turn into a primal||

[north fulcrum]

furry

[open verge]

i seen it

[topaz dune]

[open verge]

its just roe

[north fulcrum]

nah I mean the final model

[open verge]

LMAO

[north fulcrum]

when they're actually around

[open verge]

if we ever get them

which i dont think we will

but i hope we do :/

i need to be a fem furry

[north fulcrum]

I think they'll finish Viera/Hrothgar due to player outcry but not make new ones

[open verge]

dont finish hroth and viera

helmets r ugly

[north fulcrum]

Maybe they'll even

finish helmets

[open verge]

but my ears dont wiggle REEEEEEE

i cant believe people actually complain about that

[ripe flint]

Yoshi-P in his Yoshi-P way implied that "well we said we weren't planning any new races, but genders for the two that lack others?" It's likely we'll get 'em eventually.

It is kinda dumb.

[open verge]

eh

[ripe flint]

Hrothgar feel very static compared to Miqo'te.

As do Viera.

[open verge]

adding 2 other genders is still like adding a new race

[north fulcrum]

It is but I think they'll finish them due to the player response

While they may do a lot wrong

[ripe flint]

Oh people were pissed, it'll probably happen.

[north fulcrum]

they do try to listen to shit

[ripe flint]

The FF team does tend to listen.

Now here's the question, which happens first?

[open verge]

true

i just hope blue mage is never a normal job

[ripe flint]

Hats? Or genders?

[north fulcrum]

Helmets or

haha yep

[sterile galleon]

Genderlocking is and always will be a liability to marketing in the west

[north fulcrum]

BLU I do not believe will ever become a normal job

[open verge]

helmets

[north fulcrum]

I think they're just going to keep adding limited jobs

[open verge]

beastmaster is nex

t

[north fulcrum]

so that limited jobs are a fun side content thing to do

[ripe flint]

I'm fine with Blue Mage being a limited job.

[north fulcrum]

For sure

[open verge]

it has to be

[ripe flint]

But Beastmaster doesn't have to be.

At ALL.

[north fulcrum]

If BST isn't next it's the biggest fucking meme

[open verge]

well

[north fulcrum]

of Koji and the devs

[open verge]

yoshi p name dropped beastmaster

for limited jobs

[ripe flint]

It can very easily be a standard job.

[sterile galleon]

And not ratifying the issue would leave a sour taste among current players and push away potential new ones

[open verge]

so ye its probably going to be limited

[wary pond]

man lyon sure annoyed me
saying "oh i heard you are the one who beaten zenos, which i feel is just fat joke"
i fought zenos with 3 ppl
i didnt solo him wtf

[sterile galleon]

But yeah we'll probably see Beastmaster in some form.

[north fulcrum]

Yoshi name dropped BST and PUP for limited jobs in the past, and it would make sense if they want to keep adding limit jobs

[sterile galleon]

Aside from that, there's Chemist, Necro and Geo.

[open verge]

beastmaster mini game will be taming world mods

mobs*

makes sense

[ripe flint]

That doesn't mean it has to be limited.

[open verge]

i mean

[north fulcrum]

They're not going to add anything complicated to normal jobs

[ripe flint]

Just make them cosmetic, and it can be a standard job, just with a fancy extra glamour piece.

[open verge]

the gimmick is perfect for limited

[north fulcrum]

Like full stop

[open verge]

you can say that for blue mage

but look what happened

[ripe flint]

Blue Mage is different entirely.

[open verge]

is it really

[north fulcrum]

Yeah I'm 99% sure we'll just see PUP and BST for limited jobs

[ripe flint]

Blue Mage is entirely based around something that clashes with FFXIV's balancing.

[north fulcrum]

I mean so is BST

[ripe flint]

Beastmaster is just a class that tames beasts.

[north fulcrum]

if you remove the pets uniqueness

[open verge]

going out getting hit by monsters for their skills
going out and taming monsters to use them

[north fulcrum]

then wtf is BST

[sterile galleon]

Beastmaster actually wields a weapon, they don't rely solely on stolen OP spells

[north fulcrum]

it's just a melee with a DoT

[open verge]

and they already dont like pet jobs

[ripe flint]

Just don't lock special skills to specific pets and it'd work fine.

[open verge]

so making the next one limited

[ripe flint]

There's plenty of ways they could do it, and make it feel more like a traditional pet job.

[open verge]

you could say blue mage would learn their skills through job quest

they can make any job traditional if they wanted too

[ripe flint]

I know it's blasphemy, but just make it Hunter from WoW. 🐈‍⬛

People are gonna throw a fit if it's limited.

[open verge]

if they want to go hard into the gimmick it will be limited

[north fulcrum]

Like even hunter pets are being un-homogenized

[ripe flint]

They did with Blue Mage.

[north fulcrum]

Again

[open verge]

who cares if they throw a fit

[north fulcrum]

Because people hate homogenized pets

[open verge]

the game will lose nothing by not having another job

[north fulcrum]

Even weapon speed is coming back

[sterile galleon]

Just have different pet roles

[open verge]

just wait for the next expansion for new jobs and stop complaoning

[ripe flint]

I've seen the majority opinion be that more limited jobs wouldn't be ideal.
