Decided to try some 24-man content. Looking for tips.

Some of the minions are fairly common and untradeable, which means at this point not many people can roll on them. Some of the other ones drop less often and are harder to get, but none of them are that bad now that you can run them relatively easily.

I know it's been said but it bears repeating - don't automatically blame yourself for a death/wipe. They're rather commonplace in Dun Scaith specifically. 23 other people can mean a lot of different skill levels.

Maybe one time you get a bunch of accomplished raiders who handle mechs flawlessly and breeze right through. Maybe the next time you get the dumbest group of bads to ever bad. Generally it seems like an even mix but on the off chance you get a group that just can't get it together don't assume the problem is you or it can get quite discouraging.

I am super excited, and they seem like fun, but I'm a little (very) nervous, and looking for tips specific to 24-man.

General tips would be awesome. Things that you know now that you wish you knew your first time going in. I do play on controller, and definitely interested in configurations you have found to be a ton of help. Especially when it comes to targeting, as one of things I am worried the most about is if/when I need to target someone from another group.

Ahhh to be green again!

Believe in yourself, Gemina. You will do fine!

I'll be cheering you on from the stands.:D

As others have said, minions, triple triad cards and orchestrion scrolls are all rolled on by all 24 people (if all 24 decide to roll). So you have to battle it out with the whole alliance XD However gear is party specific so that should be a little easier to obtain (hopefully what you want drops ^^).

Also, something which does make sense but I didn't actually realise at first is that there are a bunch of healing abilities which will only affect your party. So obviously things like Medica/II and Medica II's HoT only affect your party. However things like Eye for an Eye, Sacred Soil, Asylum, etc. also only affect your party (I have on occasion tried to use Eye for an Eye and Excogitation on the MT when they're not in my party XD ).

I did it! \o/

I can't appreciate your guy's support enough, and all these tips were so helpful and made the experience a little less scary. A few FC mates also came along, which helped a ton. One of them MT'd and he marked me with an 'O' and himself with an 'X' so I knew where he was at all times. The only really bad part was when King Behemoth pretty much wiped everyone with Meteor except me (I guess an Iron Giant cleaved the comet everyone else was standing behind). I also got caught outside the protective barrier during the last boss and died, so quickly went from being the only to survive a mechanic to the only one who failed it. Should make for a good story later :p

Next up: Syrcus Tower
