A8 Farming

Anyone else tired of it already?

The never ending wipes, 8 people rolling on 1 item, it's making me not want to even do it anymore :/

If only. I have work that doesn't leave me with a very good schedule for having a pseudo static.

I do roll on anything because I don't have the patience to sit through 100 wipes for 1 item, but it shouldn't be that way to begin with tbh.

I'm really not a fan of this loot system.

Make a a party or get in a nice Free Company. You'll fail way less. And they'll help you understand the mechanics. A8 is probably one of the best designed fights in the game IMO. Even if it essentially is a merry go round.

I understand the mechanics already though :\

I do agree it's a great fight, but the skill level in DF is just too low. I also have a tendency to avoid FCs....I never fit in well with groups of friends and whatnot.

Ah well, I suppose it's just me in this predicament. I'll just do it when I feel like it, if not, oh well.

This is always everyone's response, but most of us don't have people we can run with.

On topic, because I like the music to the last phase, I don't mind A8. The other day, I farmed it from about 9pm and didn't get my drop until around 5am, of course with the occasional breaks for food and such.

Aside from the first day, I've not wiped on A8 once. It's actually a super fun fight and kinda hard to mess up.

I don't duty finder anything but dungeons, though. If you're in duty finder you should just expect it to be terrible and be pleasantly surprised if it isn't.

Then make a party finder that states the intent of farming and to know what you're doing. Since you're doing runs with the same people everyone will get what they want quickly. Done this multiple times since patch, might have to wait a bit for it to fill but it's sure better than doing one fight for multiple hours imo. ^^
