I too got 9 skill and 20 duration in about 30 crystals. I've been trying for 10/20 for a bit but no dice, but then again I only do it when I have some crystals that I mostly only ever get from an UNM farm session.

It sort of depends what you would consider as 'relevant' content, but for endgame content we have:

6:
Ambuscade
HTMB
Odyssey
Sortie
Sinister Reign (lol)

6+:
Divergence
Geas Fete
Limbus
Omen
UNM
Vagary
Delve
Besieged (lol)
Domain Invasion (LOL)

Again, depends what one considers relevant. I haven't done Domain Invasion or Besieged in months. Now whether players choose to actually engage in 6+ man content with that many characters is a whole different story. But you can, in fact, bring more than 6 people to them, even Limbus (though nobody does).

Correct.

yeah that's why I said it was a poor financial decision by SE, everyone's alts they activated for this past month for old cases are gonna be deactivated lol.

I mean, it's just like... playing the game

I think it helps that Dynamis, Omen, and Delve were relevant 18-man content at the time to compliment that 6 man content. There was variety. Now it's all 6 man only for relevant content. Dynamis and Omen are still relevant in that it's useful for people gearing up new jobs, or new / returnee players, but it's the last 18-man content we've received in almost a decade...That being said, it's really fun going in and steamrolling stuff while helping people. Nice change of pace compared to the min/maxing high-paced Sortie / v25 progression, while in a big group setting.

I would of liked it instanced the same way Omen was, you could do it with 6, or with 18, players choice. Each tower or area ends with a mini-boss and KI. Turn them all in for a Ultima / Omega super fight. That would of been awesome while still allowing our friends to tag along and not limiting us to a six man static.

Also Matters dont have the CanSendPOL flag, so you cant even get them on alt's and send to main.

This has been Fujito's vision for the game and he's said as much since he took over for Matsui. Limbus, Vana'bout, Besieged, this is the kind of content I think we should be expecting during his tenure. The playerbase was very vocal with their disdain for 6-man content in Odyssey and Sortie, and this is about as far from it as you can get. The issue is there is absolutely zero way to balance open world content in this game to be challenging, fun, and beatable for all levels of player interaction and gear level.

Very disappointed they are not instanced.

Should have been instanced: Each tower gives a KI, need all 4 to enter Omega/Ultima in their respective zone. Everyone that enters loses their 4 KIs like Ou.

Instead its just more trash mob Limbus for weeks on end. I am not even sure how they fix this event fumble.

Big financial mistake on their part but hey, you do you SE.

I can give counts or whatever might help if you're curious, but yeah the only quests I did were the repeatables for fame, avatar ones, pirates chart, things that gave valuable scrolls, etc. I didn't do nonsense for 250g and a fun cutscene.

I did do stuff that was useful then, but is useless now, like the subligar for lvl 50 bodies, walahra turban, lu Shang, etc. Not really sure what counts as a quest or what gives a title because again, I'm a pragmatic player. I've never chased titles or quest completions. Same goes for ROEs.

I'm reading that as "I've done basically no quests" considering the 10k gil from the avatar fights is probably in the upper 10% of quest rewards and well...that sucks.

Some quests have a unique reward (Scroll, armor, key item/map, ws etc..) the rest of them (ie most of them) have pretty lousy rewards.

There is an addon for that, switch_focus, it is in the windower launcher. Ashita has something similar I believe it is called focus

in one of the few instances where RNGesus blessed me on my third augment on ghostfyre I got +9 skill +20 duration and I've never looked back. It's such an amazing cape.

Mainly any quests that were optional pre-adoulin era and all the old HNM titles that were not part of ROE NM objectives... not sure what else gave titles but I'm sure there were many things people wouldn't bother with today.

Yesterday I received an invite for my online course conclusion celebration.

The entire course was pretty long, 4 years, but indeed, aside the exams, it was entirely online: I got some material, got some short videos, had to deliver a couple of works, exercises and eventually exams.

But I never got to meet any of my supposed teachers. Nor any of my supposed colleagues.

And in the invitation, it was written: call your family to celebrate this impressive achievement. The speaches will be deliver3d online, and here is the Youtube link for it.

I couldnt help but feel awkward. Just imagine "calling my family" to watch youtube. As an excuse of my new graduation.

It was actually my second university. My first one was a real and conventional one, with major party and hundreds of students gathered.

Maybe signs of the times. I dont think this university was "bad" just because it was online.

I just feel cheap the entire concept of being online for this.

Also there is this philosophicsl question: by learning everything from static media, maybe this is just an illusion of an university. I was always alone in this trip thus what means it has celebrating.like a real graduation?

Wonder if they're upping the level to 140 with this patch.
That would mean, potentially, more points per time spent doing limbus!
Emphasis on that "potentially" because at a certain point you need to balance points per kill vs killspeed, I guess.

That's annoying as someone who has done a lot of limbus and can say the points are much more of a limiting factor than the matter, especially if you've been rotating your chests.

It would have helped a little early on when the cap on points was still low at least so if you haven't done much limbus yet its decent I guess.

Alabaster Matter is the new 1500 point item, lol. Does this mean January login will be Murky Matter?

Is there any chance to add cycling back through the hotkeys method?

If so this would completely remove my reliance on ffxo switchmon :D

Honestly kind of expect both of the new gear sets to just be the new starter point gear given that limbus is a more casual/solo/entry level event.

An accessible set of gear that comes with a level of meva/dt that previous entry level gear was lacking.

I can probably no longer put off farming this -_-
I hate Temenos but Apollyon isn't so bad

So based on the notes Omega/ultima is just going to be NMs similar to the Job themed ones and killing them (or being on a server that kills them maybe) will allow you to get their item from your weekly 5 chests.

The gear will come from turning said chest items into the furnace and probably has ranks that work exactly like the current accessories.

I think I missed this part

FWIW, I'm rank 7 (bumped up by the patch) and I've never done any monstrosity, chocobo racing, or chocobo digging. No idea what pre-adoulin quests you may be referring to. I might have done them, might have not. I've basically only done quests with a good reward/reason to do them.
