I've not done the raids at all for any Tier going all the way back to ARR. I farmed all my Resistance relic weapons via Bozjan/Zadnor rather than doing the raids, and in hindsight I regret. Anyone out there in the same boat, or don't mind blasting through a bunch of old normal raids? I'm gonna just start queuing for them through Duty Finder.

Before EW release I wanna do Alexander raids, "Crystal Tower" raids, which I think is Deltascape? and all the Eden raids e1n-e12n. I need to Google all this.

Crone Pie on Gilgamesh is me! Hit me up!
I’ve run them all but I enjoyed that content the most so happy to run them with you

Nice! Thanks! I don't know when I'll have time but I'll look for people when I'm online. I'm West Coast, so later at night usually.

Chris Chris Yea, I figured I had done some of them to get into Bozja, but had no idea what I was doing. I'm really bad about reading the story, but for Eden's raids 1-12, I'm up to just number 2 and I'm actually paying attention to all the cut scenes. I'm so afraid someone is going to yell at me for taking too long to watch the cut scenes, and then I remember this game has a community that's awesome and they won't mind at all.

Roulettes are so painful lately, sometimes i'd rather eat the 30 minutes penalty than go through some of these leveling roulettes...

Yesterday I got Don Mehg, single pulling tank, doesn't interject the Fuath buffing the other mob, healer manages to let the tank die on the third pack of mob. I left without a word. God are some people trash.

Not even talking about the Qitana Ravel I tanked the other day, managed to wipe 4 times (including two times on last boss) due to healer dying on stupid mechanics. Said healer was a mentor, and one of the DPS was a mentor playing MNK using his single target rotation on trash packs. I gave up and left after the 4th wipe.

Have to admit, I err on the side of caution when pulling some dungeons until I know the healer is half decent. Some days I get so disconsolate at the thought of using DF I use Trusts with their amazing inability to AoE anything but at least the heals are generally more reliable than Squadrons on single packs.

for 71+ you'll save a lot of sanity by levelling in Bozja. Way faster too. Took me 2 nights to get my MCH from 71 to 80 and I wasn't playing hardcore. Save your levelling roulette for lower level classes.

For non-levelling roulettes, you're screwed!

Yeah i'm just running leveling roulettes because I also need some bitter memories again for a 5th relic and taking a break from Bozja for a bit.

Haven’t touched the game much since last tier (I pretty much just login to collect Gil from submarines) but getting more excited for endwalker - figured I’d plug here if anyone knows of euros playing on Primal - lfg for endwalker:

[Primal][LFG] Hello. We're looking for a euro timezone group (or other EU raiders who are interested in playing together / potentially making a group) for endwalker savage/ultimate raids - Fluffy Fleece - Leviathan - FF Logs & Something Wicked - Leviathan - FF Logs - historically we've played tank and healer but are open to playing most classes as required. We usually clear savage tiers [our first was deltascape / stormblood 4.0] around the 4th~ week playing 9-12~ hours a week, but could be flexible on that (e.g., more hardcore on release) if it was a group goal. We have also cleared all ultimates (TEA and UWU on release patch, UCOB in 4.3), I have done solo potd/hoh, and we have taken care of first/second day of tier crafting before too. Drop me a dm.

Got the Paladin anima done today. And thats the last one for sure. I mean it this time, the poetic farm is awful. But to me the Paladin and Dark Knight Lux weapons are some of the nicest weapons in the game.

Will continue to get my Black Mage the resistance weapon, 5 alliance raids to go for that part.

Is spamming the 70 dungeons the best for Raw Emotions for the last step on the resistance weapon? Can't be bothered to farm the Delubrum anymore. The 5 runs today for Timesworn Artifacts was epic slow every time.

DR is worth it if you have a second relic on the artifacts step. Otherwise, spam Hell's Lid or do a Dalriada here and there.

I havent found the Dalradia up as of yet, granted I don't spend much time in Zadnor. It feels like everytime I see it is up its in progress. How hard is it compared to the Delubrum?

Easier than Delubrum (no doom mechanic), and less annoying than Castrum Lacus Litore in Bozja. Gives 3 Raw Emotions. If I want to run it I pop in/out of Zadnor multiple time to test multiple instance and ask if Dalriada is due soon in zone chat.

The low pop server exp bonus is silly. Just hit 50, and my main story quest is... Level 28.

Do I just bash it out on the same class, or catch a second class up to 28 and start progress again?

Level two or three jobs up as you do MSQ. Otherwise you’re “wasting” exp.

The music in this game is pretty damn good. I was enjoying the Rak'tika zone song so much I was getting super annoyed by my mount music turning it off. So much so I tried to research a mount that doesn't have music and couldn't find one.. then I thought maybe there is a way to disable mount music.. huzzah, there is! happy days!
