Moogle Treasure Trove - An irregular popup event

This is a great opportunity for me to catch my Alt up to the mounts I want without all the danged rep farming. And dat Zantetsuken! woo!

I have the majority of items, but I quite like it (even though it will be hard, because these dungeons are... ugh), because for me it means I can have items, that are from Diadem. Diadem is really dead (at least on my data centre) and I never got the chance to visit it - so I'm glad I can access the items in another way.

That is quite the grind. If you just spammed praetorium, you'd have to spend about 23 hours play time for the namazu earrings (averaging 40 minutes per run, not positive on the exact run time now). There's also the queue time on top of that for any of these. You have a month to gather up tomestones for whatever you want, but grind events like this just make me want to be able to unlock things account wide even more.

edit: About 15 1/2 hours playtime doing Castrum Meridianum if averaging around 28 minute runs for the earrings.

It's nice to get my alts a few of those items that are no longer available or would take considerable farming, the earrings are nice too and I'm getting the 50k MGP too. But the tomestone payout is way too low, you'll have to do stuff every day to buy 2-3 items. They should either double the tomestones you get from each activity or make this event without a time limit, (or allow undersized parties).

That is some desperation to drive older content and that grind looks pretty painful and very little fun :c

A lot of the rewards are questionable, considering the time(not to mention, the sanity cost, of running old content over and over and over...), one will have to spend grinding:

1. ARR Ex primal mounts: Better to do unsynced runs. Solo runs are less than 3 mins each and the whistle drop rates are good.

2.Beast Tribe Mounts : Better to just grind out Beast Tribe rep

3. Riding maps: From Reddit, u/TheDeadButler:

The Masked Carnival is a much quicker source for the riding maps, if you're willing to put a few hours into levelling BLU to 50 and grabbing some spells you have an incredibly fast way to get a few hundred seals per week. Otherwise, I'd put them pretty low on the priority list, even just casually working on marks and taking the odd A- and S-ranks will eventually get you the seals for the maps.

4. Hjalmr and Herklaedi can be obtained from doing the Odin trial unsynced and less than 1-2 mins per solo run

For me, the Pegasus whistle and Pegasus colt are the most worth it.

My FC is too small/not active enough for Diadem runs and I'm not usually on when the people from the Diadem Discord are doing their runs. So, I'm really looking forward to get the Pegasus mount.

Seems ok to me, it's content I'm grinding atm for relic weapons anyway. I guess I'll just see how much I manage to get by the end of the month and see what I can get for it, hopefully the pegasus.

Crystal Tower seems like the only thing worth actually grinding for me, as there are a few glamours I want from there so it'd be dual-purpose.

Everything else just seems like it's meant to be a 'consolation prize' when you get it in leveling roulette.

I definitely agree the payout is very low for what's expected, and people will probably form parties of 4/8 to do it (defeating any intent of it helping new players find an instance.


*remembers the 10+ runs of WoD she did the other week that could have earned tomes...* :(

only thing i don't have on this list besides the obvious namazu earring is the answers scroll
If you can sync 4 blues and get rewards this will probably be its time to shine

also you dont do Ixali for the wolf more for the Snow white and soot black dye

Wow they need to up the amount of tomestones you get given >_>

if you were to just do 1 of each type a day(1 MSQ,1CT raid, 1 dungeon) you be spending 16 days to try and get the namazu earrings, thats bad, if you want multiple things from the list oof the grind is real
