Odin/behemoth fates

[Eanae]

Clearly you need to /kneel to avoid dying.

Tried it for the hell of it because I didn't know the FATE instant failed if it got off.

All I can think of there is Odin saying, "welcome to urth!"

Hi nice to meet you

Anyone know how does behemoth pop, i mean does something trigger his pop ? Because i've been waiting for ages here and he never poped even after 24h.
Also just to clear my mind, he pops first near snowcloak (coerthas) not far from the other fate (Sebek mob) ? How does he end up in behemoth dominion ?

Thx

Other than time/random, I don't have an answer to what triggers the FATE.

The first one is down near Snowcloak (6,22), called Behold Now Behemoth. If he is defeated there, he retreats into Behemoth's Dominion and the real FATE, called He Taketh It With His Eyes, begins there.

Have fun not being able to see him though.

Cool thank you for the tips ^^

Smething wierd that i don't understand is why no one have seend him for about more then 2 days now, wonder if the maint reset his timer

I heard a story about silver and gold, like if you get silver you get 1 horn if you get gold you get 5, what do they mean by that ? How do you get silver or gold ?

Participation levels for the FATE. More dmg/healing gives higher reward levels.

Are you level 50 and you haven't done FATEs?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but healing does not give you contribution. There were a couple complaints in this thread alone for getting next to nothing because they had to spend time curing and raising. This is a serious detriment to the FATE system if nobody wants to heal the people getting damaged.

Odin just popped again on Excalibur, South Shroud, near Tranquil Camp, close to the zoneline. He died. I actually managed a screenschot where you can see the mob (a little...)

Reward?

Well i didn't really lok into it, i did see a badge next to the xp reward but never really looked into it...

Are you sure about this ? This is crazy i mean how are you gona kill big fates like odin or behemoth without healers...
Do you know if this happens also if the healer is in a group ? Does the reward depends on each personnal dps/contribution or does it depends on the hole group contribution ?

[Gokulo]

I'm pretty sure it does. There has been a lot of complaints about that in beta, so they changed it. Then there were complaints that it didn't give enough so they boosted it.

[Scythiroth]

My friend that I level with just spams Regen on people in FATEs and usually ends up getting gold much more often than I do when we show up to a FATE that is almost over.

[Krandor]

Healing does count, and in regards to groups it counts the entire groups contribution as one unit. If your party has done enough as a whole to earn gold, as long as you accomplish one single action related to the FATE, you'll get gold as well.

What server are you on Eanae? I see an old friend in that SS

[Tokitoki]

I know there were a lot of complaints during Beta about it, but I hadn't heard they changed it.

This, to me, sounds like you'd have to be in a party healing in order to get credit, but healing outside a party won't get you very much credit? This would be the same as any other job in FATE though, you're contribution is also based around your party's.

[Gulkeeva]

Fate reward is based on "your threat"
The more threat you generate, the more chance you get at gold.

Aoe 10 mobs -> spam cure on anything -> a lot of threat -> gold medal
jump around like an idiot spamming flash on mobs -> tons of aggro -> gold medal without healing or damaging a thing.

Is this only true in larger parties? I've been in 2-3 person parties before where one person gets gold, one gets silver, or one gets bronze, one gets silver, etc. This hasn't been my experience at all.

Nope, I've gotten gold just healing. There's some variance in there that's probably based on overhealing and such, but if you're solo and just healing whoever's tanking, you should end up with Gold (as long as you've hit whatever tier is set up).

This happens because
1. You moved out of the "fate zone" while trying to tag mobs, and not noticing it, you get no increase in your ranking/reward outside of the zone, I see many people do this trying to go out and aoe spawn point of mobs.
You only still get a rank because someone INSIDE the fate zone, is probably doing something to generate threat which will slowly increase your fate ranking, but not so much as what you are doing for them as a team smacking mobs outside of the fate zone.

2. You came to the fate late, in range to increase your reward like others.

Reward?

Didn't get gold so don't know exactly what that gives, some shouts after it claimed to have gotten an Odin Cape. I only got 3.1k exp, couple of gil and seals.
