At least the gear is half decent. They mostly look TERRIBLE.

They are all FF XII sets so I think they look pretty good. I loved that game and its characters so my opinion is probably a tad biased. Even so I will probably only end up getting 2 or 3 of these sets max.

Well, I've never played it, and can look at this unbiased, my take is fairly objective. They still look AWFUL (mostly) to me. :)

I really love the way the Penelo set dyes and the boots and headpiece for healer/caster. But I get why they’re less exciting for people who didn’t play it enjoy 12.

I respect your wrong opinion. :p

I'm actually quite enjoying Zadnor atm but... Is there any reason why there's only like 5-6 skirmishes that pop up in zone three? And the one with the Red Mage guy who's tempered sometimes finishes before you can even get there from the Red Chocobo/rock dude area.

There's not a ton of players who have made it that far yet, so the Fates aren't scaling well since the participation isn't very high. That's probably part of the problem.

Possibly. Just feels random how the skirmishes scale atm, but I will wait until more people can access that area before I pass judgement.
Grinding for all the buffs seems to be like it won't be too hard, considering that you also get stuff for your relic weapon in the long run. I think that's what I like the most about this step. And now i get mettle from doing DR that also goes towards the buffs.

what kills me is there are virtually no CE's in zone 3 despite you needing THIRTY drops from there (15 CE's total). In my leveling I did 47 skirmishes in zone 3 and had a grand total of TWO CE's. . . . Two.

That isn't right. Something isn't right there.

If they're not spawning then either not enough people have reached area 3 or you're not killing enough mobs to spawn them since....ya know...... gotta kill things to get them to spawn. Plus natural fate chain stuff. Though if you don't wanna wait you could always just do eden if you're having trouble

Fate scaling is still wonky. Today we had plenty of ppl in zone 3 and they were going down so quick is was near impossible to get gold. Even when I was rank 24, if I was there when it popped, initiated the battle or was the second or third to join, got out plenty of attacks and plenty of damage, the bosses would melt the moment just a couple others showed up and I would get silver.

Then some fates go down in literally seconds, there is that one with robots that 1 person can destroy in just a few moves so its almost not even worth running all the way over since it seems to have no scaling whatsoever. No matter how many ppl show up, its maybe a 10 second battle. In zone 2, I have seen that big dinosaur die so quickly I even questioned if they ppl fighting were somehow exploiting a bug or something. I have literally watched him go from 100% to dead in about 10 seconds as well. In zone 3 there is that one golem fight that sucks you in. I started when he was 100%, did my for 2 step dance, then tech step and as I finished, the boss died. That is a total of 6 gcd of time to complete the entire fate, with about 10 ppl there.

No idea how things are working but I cannot imagine its working as intended.

because you need to kill magitek to spawn CE now, most of guy just simple run from fate to fate and ignore them, so CE will hardly spawn at all

When FATE*'s are completed in a matter of seconds - I don't blame them.

I just finished Dilradia (spelling) and I find it fairly short so it should be easy to finish every week no problem.

It's that dang CE grind for the components for the relic quests.

I'm pretty much done with the 1st zone, it's that damn 3rd zone. Those CE's are ROUGH as there is so much going on. 4th Belias i'm looking at you!

other then that I'm having a blast in Zadnor much more then I did with Eureka.

Trying to farm the Field Notes for Fran's mount, on the other hand, is far from fun. (-..-)

Apparently some of them come from duels, which means I will never get them. lol

Yeah...like Lyon's field note. I've been trying to do CLL and it never drops for me. ¯\(°_o)/¯

The scaling in some of the fates in zone 3 is indeed a bit weird, especially the one on the left side.
Lovro just melt really quick, eventhough his other fate in zone 2 actually took awhile with roughly the same number of people. Same with Claricie and Lyuba.

Apperently all of them from the duels spawn from CEs and skirmishes as well... But the drop is like less then 1%.

The scaling right now is garbage, hoping that SE does something to it because you can watch FATEs go from 0 to 100% in the blink of an eye.
