Wanderer's Palace and YOU!

For some reason the people in this game seem to have trouble with what is the easiest of the level 50 dungeons and I don't know why. So here I will describe the strategy for all the bosses in hopes that the incompetence of this game's dps can be resolved.

First off, if you fate grind all the way to 50, and don't buy any 48/49 jewellery, DO NOT QUEUE. You will get trolled and you will fall
the instance, guaranteed.

First boss: Tank and spank. Stay out of red ground, when he cones, don't even be near him, the cone sucks in and he follows with a radius of poison. Easy, right?

Second boss: Every dps playing this game fails here, and I don't know why. Dps boss, when he spawns adds kill them in priority of BLUE, PURPLE, WHITE, then the rest. Aoe them after blue drops.
Bards, save your tp for aoe spam.
AoE LB is really helpful here, first time you see a yellow flan spawn, hit them all with LB, don't miss. Fight over. Easy right?

Final boss: Focus boss. 1 dps on ads. Kill 3, wait for boss' rancor to fade, it's a giant emote on your screen, you can't miss it. Then kill 3, then wait, then 3, then wait, then 3, then wait, then 3, then wait, then 3, then LB boss. Then win. Easy right?

Again, if you have problems with this instance you are bad. It's a dps instance, of you can't dps, go be a healer.

You really should have mentioned that the 3rd boss is a DPS race against the clock. If you don't have an ifrit weapon or your level 50 HQ crafted weapon it's going to be a rough encounter. Have a range deal with the adds makes the fight easier, but it's just a hard dps check.

The 2nd boss is by far the most difficult imo. The debuffs, the AOE, that stupid fire spell he does. All of it is basic on the mechanics side, but it's still rough for undergeared people. Get some basic level 48-49 gear and then run it. Makes the dungeon easier for everyone.

No not for first time people. Queued in duty and the tank wanted to do a speed run but didn't inform the other 3 new people. Didn't offer any advice except at the boss with words like this: just spank. So what may seem simple to some after 2-5 runs of dungeon, may not be simple to 1st time people who don't read up on every dungeon in a game but rather just experience it and learn from their mistakes.

You can just kite the 3rd boss and dps will never be an issue no matter how bad your gear is. He hits like a wet noodle, and by not killing adds his big move does 0 damage.

the 2nd boss is DPS check and i find it the most difficult part of wanderer palace

so BLM is a requirement if DPS dont have ifrit weapons

For some odd reason, Wanderer's Palace is one of the very few dungeons I haven't tried yet. Not sure why really.. The other one I haven't done is Cutter's Cry, mainly because I did that a billion times in 1.0 and had enough of ants for the coming years ;)

WIN! ;)

Honestly WP is my favorite dungeon in the game. Somewhat decent tomestones, boss fights (except the first one, way too easy) are fun, and getting stalked by the tonberry stalker gives me some laughs XD. It sucks though cause no one in my FC wants to do it cause they say "tonberry king is too hard" and df takes too long DX

thats strange i did this multiple times without fail in my AF with a level 45 weapon and with level 30-40 rings

Just wonder why everyone says its something special, me and my friends (full premade groupe) can do it as fresh 50ths on first try without any preparations (mostly 45-47 purple weapons and stuff, hell our tank havent even necklace and rings) , just folow basics " dont stay at fire " , "stay at green stuff" , "if you had mark run from others" etc...
