I'm pretty happy that I can grind FATES to level BLU while grinding relics

While I really appreciated the cameo in the BLU quest, man screw that fight :D
Eureka is very much alive on my data center. Started doing it maybe 4 weeks ago, in that time I reached cap, am 100 hydatos crystals away from finishing rdm and mch weapons (was working on mch but then changed to rdm as that's what I was using in eureka) and have cleared enough BA's to +2 my rdm gear and physeos the rdm weapon once I get the last bit of crystals.
Enjoyed the heck out of it, too.
Delubrum Reginae is hilarious. If you get hit with two stacks of avoidable AOE in a minute or less you get a 3 second Doom inflicted on you. The boss mechanics are dumb and I hate how they all resurface in the final boss. But that seems to be SE’s latest trend. It’s pretty clear they designed this raid so you will die multiple times—losing mettle, and thus, needing to spend more time in Bozja—but designing the fights in such a way that you can die multiple times and still clear it. In that way it’s kinda cheap imo.
Yeah I'm a bit miffed at the mettle loss.
Also how many memories do you get doing the Crystal Tower raids? Please say more than one...
I did the previous update for like 4 jobs, but I don't think I'll manage more than 2 for this step
I didn't have much to do during my lunch breaks during this pandemic so I mostly just screwed around with leveling jobs/etc.
But yeah I think I'm going to limit myself to RDM/DNC/PLD for this one before I burn myself out.
Yeah I was on board with farming 20/20/20 for all 17 jobs as I thought that step wasn't too bad.
But this stage, yeah no I'll throw in my towel here hahaha and either make one weapon only or completely abandon it
I’m kinda in the same boat, I made the base version for all jobs already and upgraded 6 or 7 up to the glowing current variant. But I think I’m only going to upgrade a couple more at this rate.
For what it’s worth you can clear Syrcus Tower only half paying attention in about 12 minutes or so, definitely the quickest option.
Frustratingly I want to play this game more, but I am slowly becoming exhausted with getting to level cap and then being asked to do content not fit for my level.
So far at level cap we can only do, uninhibited:
Level 80 dungeons
Current expansion raids, trials and their hard mode equivalent
Whatever current expansion gimmick, which amounts to basically lol fates at 80
Yet the drop rates in Bozja is just shit and they force us outside to do old content.
Yet in Bozja and Eureka by extension, contains some of the systems that can make the game more fun (the actions)
Yet we can't do that in there because it's not efficient
edit: I think I wouldn't mind doing old content if they lifted the level cap restriction to my abilities. Let me use my moves! Gear is pointless in this game already; providing that I'm in the base ilvl for each patch I'll be able to do the content no prob (ignoring min maxing)
Gahhhhhh.
If yall are hung up on stage 1 just wait til you get to the next one. Those 36 crystals that you need aren't 100% from FATEs like last time.
Oh god >.>;
Overall, I had hopes they would learn more from Eureka, while it started horribly, the content got better with each update and I didn't find it that horrible to go grind there by the end. Bozja however... the fact that it's one dreary zone for the entire thing + some annoying instances is one thing, but in general it feels like everything they add to it is just more and more grindy - I guess they're hoping to give people something to do until the expansion, but... it just isn't fun and instead the content will probably be dead in a couple of weeks again.
Man, I forgot how quickly BLU burns though rested XP.
So reporting back again. Drop on crystals from FATEs is horrendous. Have to do the alliance raids.
I did probably 15+ critical engagements in Bozja last night and got one memory to drop. Welp. Looks like it’s Crystal Tower raids for me. I did clear Castrum Lacus Litore again with some folks and got a memory drop there so that’s something at least. Gonna be Syrcus Tower from here on out though looks like.
Not looking forward to doing 100 rabanastres
