There is another thread going right now with a SMN who soloed his map and died. Lost his chance for Alexandrite for the day.

He did say he could have beat it, but got blind-sided by 4 bombs that all self-destructed on him and he died instantly.

First one I did was a golem and it had 2 sets of bomb adds too, 2 flares on each made short work of them, but the golem itself hit relaitively hard, had to do pause attacking to heal up a couple of times. But I jut did another and it was 2 'slipjaw ogres' and it was really not hard. lots of aoes to get out of.

Any news on whether you can get alexandrite from any fates? Or if just happens to be the same places as atma. Nothing indicates it would be, but I thought I'd check.

Just did mine solo, Think I was lucky cause the 4 mobs only did line/conal AoE moves no auto attacks.

Damn looks like I will be teaming up then.

I lost my 2 maps today..... 1st one went BLM and was a Morbol that Bind you for 30s then Breath II you where u can pretty much do nothing for 30s and he repeat that over and over and u have no chance has a BLM (So this fight would have been SMN to go)...

2nd Map i went SMN and it was a cyclone mob, which was ok till he pop 6-10 adds every 15s.. where smn cant keep up with enough AOE dps to kill adds fast enough for re-spawn and keep yourself and pet alive.

I feel like i wast a whole day for nothing :/

I am interested if you even can team up? Has it been confirmed, or is it set-up like boarskin maps?

IDK I was going to try and team up but I didn't want to wait. Also if you can't team up then maybe SE really wants us to go back to doing fates?

So I got one Alexandrite and haven't even bought a Materia lol 350k. Anyways I seen someone saying something about tier 1 materias, Do you need to buy 75 materias 31/44 tier 1's or do you need materia that equals out to 31/44? I assume you just need to buy materia to equal 31/44, Because 75+ Alexandrite would be crazy to get.

I can confirm that you can do it with 2 or more people. BUT only the one who opened get the alexandrite.
