Limit Breaks Too Hard to gather party?

[Vivivivi]

Is it just me, or are the limit break quests way too difficult? I understand they are designed to be taken on by a full party, but it's pretty difficult to gather a group together to help with them since there's not a ton of people doing them regularly.

they |too weak| if you get a level 90 to escort you....killed the 3 NM's in glacier solo on SMN even well before level 90 cap.

Yah, All the Level caps can be solo'd by a 75, level 90 its sadly easy.

Try to ask just 1 of your high level friends (if you have any). I sadly don't know an easier way to do these.

All the level caps except 70-75 (Maat) anyway.

I found myself pretty much getting the assistance of a higher level friend. LB3/G3 can be solo'd if you've done up to Magicite on ranked missions, but I imagine it'd be a hell of a pain - I had a friend for the first 2 Crests and I was lucky on the 3rd, I found 2 level 90s outside the entrance I needed and they kindly opened it for me, the rest was getting to the crest without aggroing a true sight mob and linking his buddies, I did, but lived long enough to grab the crest.

This game kind of favours the social aspect of the MMORPG genre, so it's good to make friends with people or get friendly with your linkshells. It's unrealistic now to form a party for the purpose when a friend can solo them for you. Some folk out there can be pretty helpful.

When I was first doing them and the level cap was 75, I had to pay a guy to help me get my ancient papyrus. You're in the same boat everyone else was at the time, sadly. Finding a party for it was really hard before, and now it's about impossible, but the friends/merc options are still gonna be your best bet.

[Eeek]

With friends, all the Limit Breaks are now nothing but formalities.

I do not miss the days when it took hours upon hours just to farm up one of the three LB1 items...

I'm inclined to think they should either remove the limit break requirements pre-Maat, or they should simply make them easier to do. (Lower the strength of the NM's) There's no practical way that I can think of to tackle this content anymore for a new player without requesting the aid of a higher level player, at which point the content is laughably easy anyway and gets steamrolled in seconds.

Either the content needs to be accessible and reasonable to the player at the level it is acquired, or it needs to be removed altogether.

yeah limit breaks are nothing but a pain. I got my friend to help me with em, but they are just a pointless roadblock to new players. This game is hard enough on new players without the pointless road blocks.

I'll vote for removing all of them up to Maat @ 70. It's not a bad idea and would help new players.
