Capping in ONE Day... How do you Bare It?

Before 3.0 launched, I did it solely through pony farms. I was hitting about 450 a day off Shiva and Titan alone >_>. I remember telling friends and fc mates on Wednesday night that I was capped on poetics when the cap was 900.

Those were dark times...

I... I've actually stopped flying as a principle to get the most out of Kirin ;___;

Please Yoshi, make Kirin fly soon...

I got my 1st 60 just before midnight on Sunday.
went to bed.

got up went to work got home just after 10:30 PM. got my ilevel to 150 and in about 1 hour got my 90 esc. So that in 2 weeks time from now I can get my 200 weapon.

90 in 1 hour. 450 in a day. should be easy.

Also I didn't do any level 60 dungeons.

I ride mine around ARR areas and in PVP all the time. Most of the flying mounts look dumb on the ground.

I miss being able to have a pony out in town. Idle-shire can't have pony lines like Moar Donuts did. :c

I missed this place apparently. The years of nostalgia all came flooding back in one thread. You can sum up the FFXIV forums right here.


OP - "*extenuating circumstances* I have to cap in one day HOW CAN ANYONE STAND TO DO THAT?!?!?!?!?!

70% of community - Do 6 EXDR/Trial roulettes ya nub....


-.-

I just got back from vacation and had Monday to cap 450 tomes. It took like 2 hours tbh. I had a SMN with me though, so I had a guaranteed skilled AoE DPS, and being a tank gets me in instantly and allows me to set the pace of the dungeon.

You removed the "personal" part of OP, but I gathered some bits and pieces from some of the responses. Hope everything goes better for you. If you level a tank and keep it at the ready if you ever need to rush for your tomes again, I promise it will go faster. Granted, as long as you aren't the one causing the group to be slower :)

I gotta go with PvP being the most fun option to cap Eso

People do that??

I just do 1 trial and 1 expert roulette a day.

I wouldn't do it unless you enjoy getting destroyed by malestorm every time.

I capped in like 3-4 hours yesterday, just pre form a party with dps that are strong at AOE (we ran double SMN) do your Roulette than spam Neverreap pulling everything possible.

I capped a day by doing all related roulettes and just spam lvl60 dungeons. Capping red seals it makes me 2 minutes tops lol!

Best way is:

1) Don't do the Expert and Trial Roulette on Monday, leave it for Tuesday. The reason is that the Weekly caps and raids reset at 9:00 and Tomes and the rest like Gold Saucer at 16:00. That give you time to you get double the esotorics in a single day in roulettes alone. With this you got yourself already 180 esotorics.

2) After you did your roulette do the alexander normal, it will give you minimum of 80 esotorics if you got luck doing 2 runs each the 4 floors.

From this alone you should have gotten around 240 esotorics doing different things and not repeatable so you miss 210 only or less depending the luck on alexander. Then the rest is farm 5 or less dungeons or something else or leave for other 2 days of roulettes to cap if you don't want to rush.

If you do Savage that give 30 esotorics each floor you beat so even less dungeon to do as well.

Music, snacks get me going mostly. The runs arent that long. 20 mins. 30 at the most. The long ques as a DPS are a nice 5-10 min break/breather.
