Patch 5.4: Futures Rewritten

[Lucavi]

Man, I could see if its BiS, but if people worked that hard on raiding as they did grinding 24-mans for relic glamors, they'd have the actual BiS.

[Athas]

BiS is fleeting, glam is eternal.

[Lucavi]

So are the eternally-diminishing requirements to obtain them. I wait until they're a patch old, then get em done with a fraction of the effort.

[Anoat]

Also, grinding for relic glam is pretty mindless, don’t have to focus or actually be good like if you were raiding Savage for bis

[Shenrien]

should have gone with feet rather hat.

[Gokulo]

Haha, the feet looked better without the helm and my previous armor glam, but these are cryptlurker so I removed the glam and they fit better now

[Gokulo]

Hotfix maint on 15th, wonder if it will include the Bozja fix

[Anoat]

The new Masked Carnivale fight in phase 2 is infuriating lol

[Lucavi]

Gogo Flare! Gogo Holy! GOGO METEOR!

"I WILL SWEEP YOU FROM MY STAGE!"

[Anoat]

I just wanna be able to buy a level 70 weapon

[Anoat]

Well I completed it after banging my head against a wall for a couple hours. I had to use healer mimicry and spam Exuviation and whittle him down. When I tried with dps mimicry I just ran out of mp too much from spamming white wind.

Jesus I hope so.

All day in Castrum, never got past the first stage.

[Shenrien]

Not worth attempting castrum with less than 32, entirely possible to do it with 24 but I don't trust people to actually use their fucking brain and bring proper lost actions let alone use an essence.

Here we go:
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...5e13da48e590e3

The following adjustments have been made to Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr.
・ The drop rate for loathsome memories of the dying has been increased for critical engagements in the Bozjan southern front.
・ The drop rates for haunting memories of the dying and vexatious memories of the dying have been increased for FATEs in applicable areas.
・ The number of loathsome memories of the dying obtained upon completion of the critical engagement “The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore” in the Bozjan southern front has been increased from 1 to 5.
・ The number of Bozjan coins that can be obtained from personal spoils in the critical engagement “The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore” in the Bozjan southern front has been increased from a total of 26 to a maximum of 100.
・ Completion of the critical engagement “The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore” in the Bozjan southern front will now reward mettle and Allagan tomestones of revelation or experience points.
* Characters whose levels are 80 outside of the instance will receive Allagan tomestones of revelation, while characters below level 80 will receive experience points.

Wish they hadded exp/mettle to DR too, but at least Litore shouldn't be such a cock block now for people.

[Anoat]

Those are all good fixes. Had a feeling it was coming but I already grinded out my 36 alliance raids over the last week, oh well lol

[Vaspinne]

People are reporting drop rates for Haunting and Vexatious memories from fates around 20-33%, so I'm gonna guess it's a 25% chance to drop which could be really good or really bad depending on your luck

But yeah, a lot of people saying they're able to get their needed 18 memories in about 2-3 hours compared to how God awful long it'd take to spam raids over and over again

[Corrderio]

Oh crap I didn't know Castrum dropped loathsome memories. Is it 100%?

[Vaspinne]

100% and you get 5 of em too now

[Corrderio]

Well I feel stupid grinding CT over the weekend and tonight.

[Kaisha]

Do wish they did something about Castrum's hour-long wait on spawning. Even something like an NPC you could use to force-spawn the thing (30min cooldown instead of an hour, and tells you when it's ready?) would be appreciated.
