![]() ![]() You can harvest a map each day and then if you add that with the one you get from Khloe Aliapoh, that gives you a threshold of 8 that you can get in a single week’s time. ![]() The most reliable way to get them is through gathering. How fun these maps are and how shockingly lucrative they are for all players… is now leading me down a very specific rabbit hole. I need to sure up a start time, but I am guessing sometime around 7 pm CDT/CST is going to be the start of festivities. The only challenge that got in our way there with one invite, is that the World Visit system was taking 3 hours or more to transfer players to Cactuar because he-who-must-not-be-named was streaming. Right now the game plan is to start doing these every Sunday night and draw as much as we can from guild, friends, and the Super Dungeon Friends discord. You also gain a shocking amount of gold in doing these maps along with a handful of the highest tier of tomestones, or as I will inadvertently call them “Bookrocks”. The loot rewards are super varied and range from high-end crafting materials to things like housing items or minions. We went in with only one tank and one healer and for most of the night only six players but ultimately made it work. The party had to kill these adds in numerical order in order to gain a bonus sack of loot before finally collapsing on the boss and normal adds to burn them all down. The others would run around the room and had no aggro table and each of them had a number over their head. The first clump the tank aka me would take care of and hold with the boss. Essentially there were two batches of tiny mandragora adds that spawned in. We kept getting this one that was a giant mandragora that was honestly almost a minor raid boss in difficulty, and had a gimmick that the party had to deal with. The fights themselves are sheer nonsense. Essentially you are wanting to avoid landing on the purple portal with the monster face because that means a sweeper comes through and kicks your group out of the dungeon. Each symbol around the room represents a potential outcome. In the roulette scenario, once the loot is dealt with an automated spin of the wheel takes place. If you choose correctly a new room opens up in front of you and you can proceed to the next encounter. In the doorway scenario, you are given your choice of two paths. These seem to come in two varieties, the roulette-style shown above and one where you are presented with actual doorways. Effectively you are guaranteed a single encounter, with a chance of additional encounters after the first one. Starting in Heavensward there is a chance when you open the chest to instead spawn a portal to a special dungeon. Upon opening it a series of encounters spawn and if you manage to defeat them all you get to open the treasure chest. Once you feel like you have found the correct spot you execute another ability called Dig, which surveys the area looking for the chest. You “Decipher” the map which reveals the location in the world you need to head to. Additionally, there is a system called Wondrous Tails located in Idylshire, and for doing 9 events from the list of 16 possible events each week you get a guaranteed level 80 map designed for a full party aka 8 players. For the most part, these come from gathering nodes and you can get one per day on a high-level Fisher, Miner, or Botanist. Something that has happened a few times recently is a treasure hunt map night, and we had a phenomenal time Sunday doing just this.įirst off for the uninitiated, there is a thing collectively known as a treasure map in Final Fantasy XIV. Thalen, Rae, Waren, and I have been spending an awful lot of time online and with it has come more impromptu grouping opportunities. Greysky Armada once again feels populated with lots of folks on any given night logging in and hanging out. ![]() So much so that I am probably going to ignore most of the New World Closed Beta that I was looking forward to. Firstly as you are all aware I am back and playing an awful lot of Final Fantasy XIV. Good Morning Friends! The weird thing about the whole Mixtape Monday thing is if I did have something I really wanted to talk about, the impact is somewhat blunted given that I can’t do so until Tuesday. ![]()
