All gear and housing items in these events seem to be based on player designs that won contests. You might think it's to give recognition to those people, but they make zero mention of that fact. If you are a player who pays attention to those things you are probably quite aware how these things are normally obtained and that 99% of time it is easier to obtain them from the usual content, craft them yourself or purchase them from the market board. It seems to me more people know how to get them than know they are player designs. They whole thing feels like a trap for very new players.

As for who the event is for - new players. They're "catch up on stuff that other people already have" events.

IMO it's a garbage-tier event for two reasons:

1) It massively devalues rewards for content by making it ridiculously easy to get without engaging with the content.

2) The game already struggles to give players enough to do, so adding a recurring event that makes content irrelevant is stupid.

TBH, most of the rewards are super ancient tho from approx StB or like earlier, even that I feel like 9/10 anyone who started later already owned. I see it attracting the trial players since they can now get items from ShB and later just by doing GS for tomes over several weeks.

Someone may not have done all the societies and gotten the mounts. There are rewards from there. Someone might be missing a Triple Triad card here and there so they can get it this way instead. Endgame people can be in all those categories depending on when they started and whether they do things like just raidlog. And there are alts. Sometimes people have things on their main but get things this way on their alts.

It's a temporary way to get things we can already get in game minus the one earring glam item. They had a jacket glam item at one point but I believe that was a special anniversary or some other significant event so it was different.

Pretty much this. It's not that much of a mystery.

I like it. Makes rw pop. The role action is really fun

I calculated that I have 210 tomes worth of stuff I want to get and that's without the earring or any triple triad cards or maps. And I'm not a savage raider but I am still at endgame. There's some content I'd rather not engage with or grind for rewards, that's what moogle tome events are for.

Actually, I did raid savage for the tier that the song is from and never got it. I'd rather grind 100 moogle tomes than run that fight over and over hoping for a drop and that no one else takes it.

Good point actually - these events do seem to result in content that doesn't usually 'pop' reappearing. Queued a Alliance Raid roulette last night and had Aglaia pop - was pleasantly surprised as hadn't played it for ages and pretty much always get Crystal Tower when queue Alliance Raid roulettes.

It's obviously aimed at considerably more newer, casual or returning players that missed various content and it gives them a way to catch up while waiting for the patch.

It is just so scattered for rewards.Random gwib or neo ishgardian sets. They could do better. If they hadn't been so greedy past seasonal events could be at these moogles.


They could also discuss what is very low clear content and add that. There are the PvP sets from seasons. Emotes and mounts locked behind old closed off content. Reskin of exclusive content, the game has a carbuncle mount telling me they couldn't add one for mogtomes in brown or some other colour. Or a level 1 glamour of some weapon set that would take forever to farm.

TBH, I feel like no one runs V&C or Hidden Gorge at all, even on Aether, so it does encourage others to run them for newcomers.

They'd never do an event item from a cash shop since it would mean they'd lose out on any potential sales, since cash shop items only exist for it.

I can buy more maps with portal sense I have everything else other then the ugly earing

This is literally the only thing I like from mogtome nowadays. Aside from working slowly on achievements, RW are just IMHO more fun than FL.
