Omen Tips and Tricks.

[dmuller30]

I haven't done it yet but would love to shed some light on some of the mechanics here so people know what to do going in there. Going to do a run tonight and see how it goes. Anyone know of any special mechanics or have done it and have an idea of drops rate and loot etc.

If you don't fulfill the mini-objectives that rapidly disappear in the combat spam, you don't get cards. Gear only drops from bosses. Trash mobs can be AOE'd down pretty easily. Timed out on the mid-boss starting w/ 15min because it took like 10% damage from nukes and seemed to have wayyyyyyyy too much HP >_<;; Got zero rewards period since we were playing it safe at first and doing single pulls and clearing all the rooms, so we didn't fulfill the mini-objs. -_-;; The chat spam saying how many Omens are remaining is mystifying and annoying, since we have no idea what any of it means and get spammed enough to miss party communication macros.

I'm thinking there should be at least a guaranteed 1x card per run added somehow, perhaps based on amount of time spent inside to prevent speedrun farming.

If a group of 6x players spend 30+ minutes actually doing content, it feels really really REALLY lousy to get absolutely nothing for your time spent.

We need a full explanation on exactly what we are supposed to be doing, what all the chat spam means, AND tell us how to properly filter it in our chat logs so that they don't get lost in the combat spam.

Yeah I just did mine and it was pretty much fulfill and I got 1 card. For 30 min that is absolute garbage considering it is on a 20 hour lock atm. I wonder if they are gonna take the lock off? We did a lower difficulty it was pretty easy even on bosses I really wish SE would explain more exactly what is going on here because just like you there were several issues with chat log. The implementation seems to be that of FFXIV dungeon grind must do once a day feel. Like it but we should be able to go in as many times as we want I hope the 20hr is a way of just making sure not everyone does it all at once.

So seems like
*Do the objectives which give you a certain % of drop once you clear for a card the more you complete the more chance
*The boss which was a Craver will say follow the light not sure how far his aoe range is but it is pretty far you want to run away from that he will do one that pulls you in and binds you than does another one that does a knock back

Greetings, everyone.

Based on the feedback that we have been receiving, we are planning to make adjustments so that there is more time to complete the objectives given during Omen. We are hoping to implement this as quickly as possible, so please hang in there while the team finalizes the adjustment.

Can you also make it so that pet and Trusts can help, or that it's more accurate if they're suppose to. I've missed quite a few SC objectives and X HP DMG while doing my runs, even though I know that I should have gotten them.

Greetings, everyone, and also Happy New Year!

The development team has been holding discussions about all of the feedback we’ve been receiving since the implementation of Omen, and they are in the process of tackling various adjustments one by one. Amongst them, they are looking at adjusting certain special abilities as well as supplementing and widening the content so that it’s more than just boss battles.

While it may take a bit of time for these adjustments to be implemented, we’ll keep an eye on all the feedback and update you when there is more information to share!

[Urmom]

I hope those adjustments include the very buggy optional objectives (or in case of pets just flat out not working for many) and Thinkers might as well just warp out for some setups ability.

tbh i would like it to be bit more solo friendly as you can enter solo but if one of the tasks is to eliminate all its very hard to do on like mnk even with trusts in like 10 mins, eventually got to 3rd level and just got owned 1 shotted august tank and no prayer after that, done about 5 runs and only got 2 cards so far, which tbh they need to fix it

What do you mean by "did a lower difficulty" ? As far as I'm aware, there is no way to select difficulty with Omen. :[ Unless I'm being dumb.

Well, one way is to base the objectives off the people present, instead of give: Do 25 SCs to a BLM going solo.

The number of actions required is intended to scale with group size. If you are actually getting the "25 SC" objective while solo, please PLEASE submit a bug report. ^^;; Since that would be a bug that needs to get fixed...

If you meant the issues involved w/ melee jobs getting mage objs and/or mage jobs getting melee objs, then it would be a welcome adjustment to ensure that they are at least POSSIBLE with the player jobs in the party. It would also be greatly appreciated if there was something that could be done for pet jobs since pets currently don't seem to count towards ANY objs. :(

Hello, everyone!

I have some additional information about adjustments to Omen.

When your aim for your Omen run is only to acquire job cards, the mid-boss can be a wall that certain parties cannot overcome, and we are aware of the hurdle that this has become. In order to alleviate this, we will be adding a new route option where there will be no mid-boss or final boss. This route can be selected when you go to warp to the third area.

This new route will yield the same amount of job cards as if you cleared all the way through the final boss. With this new route, you’ll now be able to customize to your objective more easily by selecting either a job card farming route or one where you can encounter the mid-boss and final boss.

We'll keep you updated on progress and when this will be implemented.

[Ruujin]

Anyone know about how much accuracy you need to be able to fight effectively in this zone??

[OmnysValefor]

Trash, I can hit fine in my dd-tank setup on Rune Fencer with about 1225 acc (including sublime sushi for acc food, and vorseals don't work in omen). I can't say if that's capped (I can pay more attention next time). I can even hit well on the floor 3 boss in the same set.

Floor 5 Bosses are a different story altogether, you need 14 to 1500 accuracy it seems (with help of buffers).

Hello, everyone.

As promised, I wanted to follow up about obtaining job cards from Omen!

By completing main and additional objectives in Omen, players earn points which aren't shown in any menu or logs.
Once players accumulate a certain amount of points, players will receive a card based on the job they were playing at that time.

The new Omen route we introduced in the February version update will grant bonus points and players can also earn points by defeating enemies as well.
With this system, players are able to earn more job cards by taking other routes, so we leave it up to you, my fellow adventurers, to decide which route will take you to reach your desired goals~!!

This is nice and all, but as a SMN I struggle hardcore when I go alone often times without clearing the first room. The first area needs to be 15m instead of 10. If the objective is clear all monster or kill a certain monster (Which it might as well be the same as the first) I am at a major disadvantage on time because I spend almost 2 of the 10 minutes summoning my trusts. I was hoping that this change would help, but I've only managed to get to the alternate path once because of the first area's objectives.

That's really cool for farming just cards. While we're still talking about Omen, after defeating the floor 3 mini-bosses we can freely choose which boss we encounter for the 5th floor. Will there be an option to allow us to freely choose any of the floor 3 mini-bosses instead of just random encounters
