Then DON'T grind brayflox all day long.
Do the Morbid Motivation daily quest and you get a map as reward. There is absolutely no requirement to buy the maps at 800 myth each.

The invisible leash is the same as it was on the regular treasure maps, but those are of course faceroll easy so no complaints about leashing there.

I got the same mob today for one of my maps (happened to have 800 myth from doing regular roulettes) and was able to solo it without any major problems.
The peapuks hit for very little and have very little HP so they are easily killed fast.

You know, I wasn't originally going to post in here but oh well. Anyone who's seen some of my posts can easily see how much I loathe the current Atma/Animus implementation. So keep that in mind when I say this:

The only issue I have with what I see about the Novus design is the 1500 myth requirement to get started. Everything about the Alexandrite grind actually appears to be well thought out this time.

You currently have four real options with your Alex acquisition:

• Slow and Steady: Get your daily map, complete it. If you solo and die/time out, quit crying you took the risk.
• Supplemental Maps: Have nothing else to spend myth on, buy maps as you get enough
• Reliably Fast: Brayflox for myth, buy maps.
• RNG: Fates

And we're even getting ANOTHER method via Monster Hunts. There is NOTHING to whine about here. The relic quests are meant to take time, period. I don't mind a time-sink for Atma/Animus either, they're just poorly designed time-sinks.

Ask a Healer to acompaign you and support you while you go Sparta at the mobs?
My FC mate asks me every time if he can't clear the map alone.

Geeesh coming here to cry is easier than to ask for help in game? Like really?
Sometimes I don't get people.

Change the minimum suggested members to 4. Problem solved.

It just means you aren't good enough a soloist as you think you are. I solo'd that map and several others on PLD.
Leash area and time is fine, same as other maps.

I just do my maps with a couple of friends. Faceroll.

Haha I got the same Boss from my first map a few days ago.
I totally enjoyed soloing dat.
Holy---- BOOOOOM

Those adds are just there to annoy you, they dont even do any real dmg.

TBH these mobs are the only good thing about the new quest.
It´s actually fun.

4 Batraal, Bomb and this one are my favs.

YoshiP has told the public ARR was designed as a SOLOable game.
Content Finder was made to serve this purpose,
a player should not need to spend thier friend's time for his own progression.

You may disagree, but that was what YoshiP said previously. ^^;

I actually got this map twice today. It was fairly laughable with 2 people/2 chocobos. I also got the Golem/5 Bomb/5 Bomb map today, bombs appear to do nothing, not even move. I'm assuming those are the insta kill suicide bombs? Again with 2 DPS/2 chocobos, they presented no challenge as long as you paid attention to the "5 Reinforcements have appeared." message and dealt with them promptly.

If I wanted to play a single player game, I wouldn't be playing a massively multi-player online role playing game.

Some of it is soloable, yes, but not the ENTIRE game, lol. To believe that nonsense would be silly. This is an MMORPG after all.
