I think we all know the deal by now. And as much fun as it was to ***on the first 3, I expect all the fun has been sucked out of it going forward.
Everything is pretty well explained.
(VBD) Are dailies
(VB) Are Totals for the whole event
It's all simple ***, Win an Ambuscade. Don't die in ambuscade. Do obscure minigame. Pet/poke/etc your rearing monster. Chocobo dig. Fish.
Don't forget to wake up early and do Day Zero Dailies.

'Bout; Slightly less worse each time
Except we get "Not Cornelia" for 6 months this time. yaay.
[+]
._ . I'm actually ok if we don't extend the currently campaigns.. I was hoping for cooler ones.
[+]
Unfortunately, as I've tried to get people to not do this event so they would see we want better rewards, there's simply no stopping the tard train.
[+]
Everyday we fall further from the Grace of Cornelia..
Is SE aware they still haven't put the vanabout ethereal weapons on any porter moogle storage slips? I could consider grabbing one for lockstyle if it wasn't perma inv-1.
Well I intend to try for capped plaudits again just to piss off the Fort Knox of Asura
Also ballista is apparently an objective, nice to see that happen
Ah, they axed all the "be a rdm in ambuscade" objectives.
FYI: BST can still solo the level capped 60 fights using Sultry Patrice. Just summon her outside the arena and enter (it doesn’t dismiss her) then you can fluid spread and digest to heal the slime.
[+]
Lovely. The fall-behind mechanic is still there. Do your dailies, kids, or you don't get more tomorrow. It's important that we have a way to put players out of sync with each other to make group activities harder to coordinate.
[+]
Jeez, they couldn't even bother to make the top tier Old Case option a +2?
[+]
Nope because then people would get gold tier on all of their mules and then get free +2 earrings to send back to their main.

For Lost Chocobos (VB), is it referring to this quest: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/A_Chocobo_Riding_Game_(San_d%27Oria)
[+]
That link doesn’t work but lost chocobo refers to delivering a bird from the chocobo stables in one of the starting cities to another. One of the 3 NPCs will offer it in the stables.

If you want to know when to pick up the Sandy > Jeuno run (shortest one)

(don't pick ride to/from windy unless you're cheating~) Windurst to Jeuno is the second fastest run. Eiryl giving bad advice as is tradition. Also has the longest runs if you go Windy <-> Bastok/San, but thats a skill issue if you pick one of those.
I also highly advise against cheating in this. The game is actively logging elapsed time and doing a 20-30 minute run in ~5 minutes will probably flag everything.

For the Comet Orb daily, I went in Treasure and Tribulations. Managed to get lucky and pop the chest, didn't have to fight anything. Are any of the BCNMs pretty mindless?
The Ballista RoE is extra stupid because if you join but there aren't enough people it doesn't count, meaning you either have to gather up at least 5 other people to fake a match or you just can't complete it. Small servers are ***.

The lost chocobo one you have to have raised a bird right?

Small servers are ***. You can do a private match. Exchange 1 Copper Voucher for 1,000 Ballista Points. Go to Ru'Lude Gardens, talk to Tillecoe and reserve a match for a desired time. Get the book, use the book and pass pages out to characters to join. Once you're done trading the pages to people who are going into the private Ballista match, each person trade the page to Tillecoe and warp out there. One person trades the page to the Herald once there and they are in control of the game rules and settings and can end the match at any point.

So, I just did that, played through an entire 20 minute match with two characters in there, mostly just beat up on my poor alt, scored 11 petras, saluted the herald at the start and end cutscenes... no credit for it on either character. I don't know if you need a whole six people, or if it expects you to go through the whole two hour reservation block or what.

Five of us got credit after I ended the first match, while one person did not, even after a restart and everything. Seems there is a bug in that objective. No current solution for them, but maybe a non-private match will work.

I don't think so. My two alts did nothing but die. They literally did nothing while there and got credit after the first match. Just seems to be buggy for some reason. This. I made the mistake of accepting the quest from the Bastok stables to windy woods not realizing just how long it was. I also didn't know I had a time limit (maybe she told me but I didn't read) and I got booted off the chocobo right when I got to tahrongi canyon. To be fair after I accepted it I went to the wiki to co firm how to get there and wasted some time there, plus it's been forever since I ran through all those maps so my routing probably sucked.
