Shinryu Extreme

Scott/ 17th December 201921st December 2019/ Events

Another week, another mount farm! As you can see from our past posts we didn’t really do them in order, but this week it was Shinryu!

I do appreciate that it’s now old content, but as we had new people I thought it’d take us longer to get a clear. However, I’m glad to say we cleared it on the second try. Subsequent farming runs weren’t perfect, but we were still consistently clearing it. Sadly no mounts dropped, but I think we all had fun anyway!

Thanks to all those that came, especially those that didn’t even need it and were just helping us out!

Eden’s Gate: Resurrection (Savage)

Scott/ 30th November 201921st December 2019/ Events

A group of FC members got together and helped some others learn the fight and ultimately get a clear on E1S:

It was a bit rocky at first, mainly due to some confusion over how some mechanics worked, but once that was sorted out it went rather well and it was just a matter of time before we got the win!

Thanks everyone!

Byakko Extreme

Scott/ 18th November 201916th December 2019/ Events

We’ve been at it again for “Mount Farm Monday” and this week it was Byakko. I hadn’t personally done this one before, but it turned out to be pretty smooth sailing and we were consistently killing him without any issues.

Sadly this is actually the best picture I took!

Thanks to everyone who came along and joined in!

Treasure hunters

Scott/ 17th November 201916th December 2019/ Treasure Maps

There’s been quite a few posts on this before, but we’re still continuing to farm treasure maps each week. We now alternate the time (from afternoon to evening) and I was initially concerned it might get confusing, but everyone seems to have adjusted well.

Generally speaking we seem to walk away with 300k-500k each, not including any items that drop. Although they are rare we do still see things like Shell Leather, so that’s a nice bonus when it drops.

Thanks to all who join in each week, and let’s keep getting more free money!

Tsukuyomi Extreme

Scott/ 11th November 201912th November 2019/ Events

This week for “Mount farm Monday” we took on Tsukuyumi! As most of us had never tried it before it took us a few tries to get the mechanics right, but after that it was smooth sailing and we even had a few mounts drop!

Thanks to everyone who came and we’re planning to go for Byakko next week!

The Copied Factory

Scott/ 29th October 201930th October 2019/ Raids

As many of you playing the game will likely know, patch 5.1 has now been released. This patch added quite a lot of new content, but it also added a new 24-person raid, “The Copied Factory”.

We alway try and do these as an FC each week, but this time we tried to do it as ONLY an FC run! We didn’t quite manage to get all 24 people to be members of our FC (it was a bit late in the day for a few people), but thanks to our FC members, some friendly ex-FC members and friends of the FC… we not only went in as a full alliance, but we finished it as well!

Most of us were going in blind which was both chaotic, but also a lot of fun. We did wipe once on the 3rd boss, but that was more because on the first try we didn’t have any markers and there was some confusion when the adds spawned.

Thanks to everyone who came today and made it an amazing evening!

New times for treasure maps

Scott/ 27th October 201930th October 2019/ Treasure Maps

We’re still doing our treasure map runs every Sunday, but we’re now alternating the time from afternoon to evening to try and make it more flexible for our FC members.

This week we did an afternoon run and although we didn’t make a massive amount of money (330k Gil each), we did make it to the end once so that’s better than nothing!

Zurvan farming and the Firebird

Scott/ 14th October 2019/ Raids

Monday is now now being known as “Mount Farm Monday” and today 7 of us tackled Zurvan Extreme. We were prepared to do it 99 times, but thankfully it only took about half of that for everyone to get the Demonic Lannder bird mount!

But even better, that Demonic Lanner was the last “bird” mount that 4 of us needed, so we were able to do the sidequest to get the Firebird!

We haven’t picked what we’re farming next week yet, but it’ll probably be one of the Stormblood “Dog” mounts!

A12S mount farming

Scott/ 7th October 2019/ Raids

This evening the FC got together to farm the Arrhidaeus mount from Alexander: The Soul of the Creator Savage!

It took us a few tries to get the hang of the mechanics (the ones we couldn’t skip), but after that it went quite smoothly and everyone who came got a mount.

Thanks to you all, especially those that didn’t even need it and were just helping out!

Crystal Crusaders Eden’s Gate: Decent (Savage) clear

Aluette Laurent/ 5th October 20195th October 2019/ Raids

A few FC members have been getting together to tackle all Eden’s Gate (Savage) tiers and have made new progress today in clearing Eden’s Gate: Decent (Savage). Also known as the horrible one of this tier. When we first started it was a lot to take in at first and there were so many deaths before reaching the first Hand of Erebos. We stuck through it, had a few personel changes and stuck to it. We eventually got it down to 1% and the dreaded enrage mechanic (A healers worst nightmare). Came back with a new group, 2 Samurai, 2 Dancers, 1 Gunbreaker, 1 Warrior, 1 White Mage, 1 Scholar and got it down to 0.7%. Which is when I came up with the idea both Dancers should buff each other and it paid off, we got it down to 0.1% with just one death due to ping. Another run but this time no deaths and we cleared it, everyone felt relieved knowing we had finally killed Voidwalker (I don’t reccomend it to anyone). Now onwards to Leviathan… Leviathan Leviathan Send us!

FC Members: Blithesome Carl, Primatus Soprey, Aluette Laurent, Qordog Pensildic and Caim Lucii.

Friends of the static and new members: Miko Fennex, Farsuya Flair and Badga Badgarok.
