Treasure hunters

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.

Kill!

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!

The Copied Factory

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!

So he’s quite big…

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.

Things are happening!

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

Zurvan farming and the Firebird

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!

Huzzah!

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

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

Look at all those mounts!

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!

We’ve used up all our luck today!

We tried moving our weekly treasure maps to a later timeslot to better suit our members. I’ve no idea if that contributed, but we had a lot of good luck so like the title says, we’ve probably used it all up now!

We absolutely decimated everything!

Nearly every map popped a portal and we finished the dungeon not once, but twice!! Wow! We also found out something interesting, if you stand outside the arena when someone opens the door, it doesn’t lock you in place so you can run around while they’re in the cutscene! 😀

The bigger they are… 😀
From left to right: Primatus, Mana, Lain, Roamy, Scott, Aluette, Mel, Ice

In just two hours we each managed to make 665k Gil and that’s not including the few pieces of Fireglass Leather that also dropped!

Well done everyone!

No Portals? No Problem!

Quite a few of our members are on holidays at the moment, but 7 of us still got together to do some treasure maps.

We had a lot of bad luck and hardly saw any portals, but when we did we got quite lucky, including getting right to the end one time!

Two frogs, two cats, a bunny and a chocobo!

We thought that it wasn’t going to be very successful, but in the end we still made 519,000 Gil each. That’s also not including any drops that we got, not bad for a few hours!

The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah

Two groups of FC members set off with treasure maps and we had a really productive afternoon! Not only did both groups manage to complete Lyhe Ghiah, but one group made approximately 484,000 Gil each and the other a really nice 620,000 Gil each. That doesn’t include the value of any drops either – not bad for just a few hours work!

About to fight the final boss!
Group 1 clear!
Group 2 clear!

And there’s more… we had one of the higher/lower games of chance… and we completed that as well!

Thanks to everyone that came and let’s see if we can do even better next week!

Titania Extreme cleared!

Since our last post we’ve all been very busy playing the new expansion, Shadowbringers! However, today 8 members of the FC got together and we managed to get a clear on Titania Extreme for 6 of our members!

Caim Lucii, Panda Horo, Aluette Laurent, Mel Arky, Qordog Pensildic, Scott Pilgrim, G’lion Mewrilah and Blithesome Carl

Well done everyone and now let’s do it again to get the mount!
