Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

How many prawn crackers can the human body devour in one sitting? Tonight we find out. . .

Depends on where you got them from, chinese takeaway or supermarket.

Yeah, DR is just kind of dead unfortunately. Only way to queue for it is through the NPC, and unlike Castrum there’s no Echo (to my knowledge, don’t quote me on that, just assuming it works like Baldesion). Your best bet is genuinely to look up the discord for your data centre that does BA/DR runs and try to get the clear that way.

It’s made completing the SHB relic a bit more annoying too since the only way to get an item you need now is to (somehow) get a group for DR or (more realistically) grind Palace of the Dead. Either way, it’s unfortunately unlikely they’ll change it since they haven’t touched Baldesion and it’s similarly needed for the Eureka storyline and Stormblood relic.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that if you don’t want to go through the Discord hassle, you could also try putting up a party in PF. Just gonna have to make sure the people that join actually go in with Essences & Actions since you’ll prob be a smaller group.

Is there that annoying bit in Delubrum that’s in the Eureka one? Where if another group doesn’t do that one particular FATE, you get wiped?

P3S lives rent free in my head, but we saw a new mechanic tonight which is nice considering the mess that is tethers

Before I sleep: Fancy dress or Croft mog? I’ll take suggestions for alternatives.

fancy dress!

Neither difficulty of Delubrum does the FATE thing, thankfully. There’s a special Solo Duty (think duels in regular Bozja) in Savage that you can do for a stat buff, but it’s not a thing on normal. Normal DR isn’t really challenging anyway, it’s just a pain now because nobody does it and you’ll probably fail to meet some of the DPS checks if people don’t run any Essences.

Even when it was current there was a 15-20 minute difference in runtime between groups that used Essences and groups that didn’t. They add a lot, and get increasingly more important with smaller groups.

I love sassing people on Mjoln.

Can you get the mount on normal?

i wish :pensive:

Cerberus is Savage-only.

It’s not a democracy if only two people get to vote. Step up, hypothetical tie-breaker.

You CAN get the super rare golden mech though! I’m not sure if they buffed the droprate at all, but since they probably didn’t it’s basically a 1 in a million chance to get it. Had people grinding all the relic weapons in SHB (for context, that’s 15 DR runs per weapon because you used to only get 1 artifact per run) without seeing the mount once.

That just means its probably due up for moogle tomes at some point (here’s looking at you Zenos’ mount from Ala Mhigo)

Kind of hoping they do just so the market crashes. Apparently it’s not that expensive anymore (just 5mill, so maybe they buffed the rate?), but it was really funny to see the /shiver emote plummet when it was available from a moogle event.

same with the ala ghiri plait.

down from 1-2 mil to 200k

True! I grabbed those just to hoard them lmao, sold them for a few hundred thousand earlier in EW after the market seemed to have recovered a little. Probably could’ve waited even longer, but gil is gil.

Was more than that even, think I managed to sell the plaits off for 500k since Balmung is dumb.

by the time I’d grinded 7 (for the rest of my characters), I was grinded out.

I have still got a reserve of the calca/brina dolls (whichever one can be sold on the MB) though!

god the minions are so not worth grinding for

I went all in on the Salt & Pepper Seals when they came around and still have 12 sitting in my bags. I finally sold 5 a couple months ago for a measly 2k each. Lesson learned I guess, minion market doesn’t stabilize.
