I appear to have already missed the boat on bozja

I sure hope 6.0 does not do this again. I'm not that good at Savage unless unsync'd with my FC and I dislike all the memory game involved.

I'm not keen on this open zone content either, especially if it's a choice between it and extra dungeons.

Dungeons go in the expert roulette. Bozja does not. Therefore dungeons add more ongoing interest to the game in a way that open zones don't.

(It has occurred to me that 50/60/70 roulette is double-skewed towards level 50 dungeons because even if everyone is eligible to do all content, there are simply more dungeons at that level than there are at 60 or 70.)

I guess the whole Diadem/Eureka/Bozja/Hunts/Blu/Shared Fates has been a neverending saga to get people out of df and into the world. I can't say I disagree with the intent, but the convenience of DF is really difficult to overturn.

also the jank (managing lost actions, eureka's finnicky elements, pre-shb diadem) and ironic isolation for their field content (tends to "dry up" fairly quickly as people get their Thing and then abandon it wholesale) makes it hard to get into it after the initial 2 weeks or so :/

Oh god ...you’re still alive ?

I really liked castrum much more than a regular duty finder thing. I like that you can set up parties inside and it feels more like a ‘raid’ than Eden or something does to me.

It was just inherently flawed in several ways but I thought the content itself was really good.

Also the way to keep these places active is to constantly change the rewards and keep it a high reward. Think treasure maps. People still do them because it’s always profitable to do so.

Castrums main problem was it was too low reward for too much effort.

so the relic weapons have a bozja grind now to 10 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...a2070ed1b8e41b

I suggest everyone complain on the Exploratory Missions forum as well about SE breaking their promise that we wouldn't have to grind Bozja itself for the relics.
I have a vague feeling they read that one more than General, even though General has 10,000x the activity in NA.

Well for the most part Devs haven't lied, they stated several times that bozja was "Story" would be required for relic a long while back. As for grind really is not much to rank 10, only real hurtle is castrum if you miss the boat and from what I understand the amount of mettle for the new raid basically the amount needed to get to rank 10 anyway so yeah.

HUGE difference between Treasure Maps and Castrum.

You can almost sleep through a Treasure Map dungeon. Almost
Castrum? Gotta farm for Lost Actions if you get a bad comp (which would be nice if they were in lockboxes along with your fireworks). Gotta organize the random people you get put in with.

You'd have to make it an astronomical reward.
