I know a while back I said I was hopping off the lottery train, and I did for a few rounds… but alas I am back to doing the four-day wait. In other news… I lost yet another lottery in Final Fantasy XIV. I would assume more than likely it would be Ebonscale Reach. I think I am about to wrap up questing in Mourningdale, and not certain where the game will send me next. Whatever the case I have to hit 30 faction in that territory in order to unlock that max-tier home. Weirdly on my server… the guild that controls Brightwood seems to not care much about leveling up that territory so I am starting to lean heavily toward Mourningdale. The next is to gather up gold and territory standing so that I can purchase a Tier 4 house in either Brightwood or Mourningdale.
SECRETS OF GRINDEA MAX LEVEL FULL
Right now I have a few competing goals the first of which is to continue harvesting up all of my banks full of material so I can do another massive crafting session. Other than that I continue to quest my way through the game. All told it was a good event and I wish it was sticking around a bit longer, and that more level range variety could have easily participated. Doing the event drops bags of loot that contained the lower-end versions of the weapon patterns, and I believe I managed to get one of those for all the other slots. I ran enough of the event yesterday to pick up the cosmetics and greatsword, sword, and shield crafting patterns. The bigger reward is that after you had completed the event a few times you got enough faction with the vendor and could start buying item-level 600 weapon patterns. There was also an armor set featuring a chest piece and helm that are designed to make you look like Baalphazu, as well as a “pumpkinling” that you could get for your home. There were three helmets, the one shown above, a pumpkin head, and a witches hat. There were a number of rewards for the event that now makes me wish I had started this a bit earlier. When it did not go well, we struggled to burn down the boss until reinforcements arrived. When it worked it went well and 30-40 players showed up at the spawn point. The strategy seems to be to dogpile everyone on the boss and throw down enough healing circles to allow everyone to effectively shrug off the damage. The larger challenge with that however is when it is doing a burn phase, it is also dealing massive AOE damage. Essentially I think the plan is for those who are lower level to be picking up the pumpkin bombs and chucking them at the boss, which lowers its defenses and starts a burn phase. The most common are these little pumpkins, which you can destroy and get a pumpkin bomb that you can throw at the boss. When the fight begins properly you have a big boss called Baalphazu and a few types of smaller adds that spawn around it.
The problem is that “later” never really happened until last night. You technically can receive the quest at 35, but given how fast I got my ass handed to me by the roaming 60s I decided I would come back later. It is this way with seasonal events in video games, and last night I finally got around to checking out the Halloween event in New World. If you tell me something is due on a specific date, I interpret it as being done at the close of business on that date and will hand it in without fail at the last minute. I am the sort of employee that drives their managers insane when it comes to compliance items. I get things done, but almost always end up doing them right before the deadline. I am what I would prefer as a buzzer-beater.
