Moogle Treasure Trove grind

I can't be the only one thinking this event is a bit overtuned in terms of rewards/cost?

From the 30th May till 27th June (assuming the server go down for 1 day maintenance like usual) you only have 27 days. I'm pretty sure the best way to do this event and what the majority is going to do is spam the lvl 50 raids since they amount to 2 tomestones and can be quick ~ 20min. If you just wanted to get the earrings you'd have to run it 50 times, or 2x a day for 27 days except the last 4 days, only once.

I read Yoshi-P saying that he doesn't want people to feel like they need to login and play all the time, but this will be pretty much it. Shortly before an expansion is coming out, having seen all the cool new abilities, going back to do boring lvl 50 stuff is just not fun.

Or am I missing something?

It'd definitely going to be a grind.

First few days I'm going to check PF for LotA, Syrcus Tower farms. 24 ppl motivated to do it fast should be good and might be able to get sub 20 min.

Queue'ing for them through DF could still be hit or miss, I get a horror story in Raid Roulette at least once a week... so...

If I have enough Friends, FC, Linkshell mates online then I might consider doing Prae runs. 8 ppl get tokens, casual relaxing... probably can do 2 runs in about the same amount of time it takes to do 3 runs of LotA or ST via DF.

If there are less ppl I know online (but at least 3...) then I might try speed runs of Tam tara or Qarn. See if we can clear them in 10-12 minutes.

The collector in me wants the Namazu earrings but...it's not really worth the time and effort for something I want just for the sake of having it and would likely never use.

Yeah the numbers seem a bit high, especially for how long it'll be up. If it was a permanent event then no problem cool cool. Maybe their new FATE system can convert some of these tokens and gobble up most if not all the rewards.

I already have nearly everything that's available. Only thing I think I'm missing are the earrings.

*yikes*
I don't think I want the rewards enough to run the most annoying dungeons available. It's bad enough if they pop up during a roulette or when I need some poetics.. but I can't see myself grinding them.

Don't think anything is wrong with it. He's right people don't need to log in to play all the time. What we are looking at here is a want not a need. Not everybody is OCD like a lot of us here on the forums about getting everything.

They implied this event will be recurring so the average player will eventually get these items just not during the first run. Also the earrings aren't necessarily a mandatory item. They were a luxury thing put in for hardcore players and average ones to get eventually when the event comes back again.

They mentioned additional rewards for fates. I'm betting these special poetic tombstones will be back when expansion launches and when event hits again you'll be able to use the ones you collected while doing fates from the expansion

I assume it's a bonus event intended to reward those for helping with the assumed influx of new and returning players that will start playing because of the job action trailer and the media tour info that is going to release around when this event starts. There will be some that premade spam it in a week but people that do a bunch of roulettes every day will more or less hit 100 by the time the event ends.

Yeah this "event" is a big ole' nope from me. Too much grinding right before a new expansion.

The costs are definitely too high. I already run a lot of this stuff casually. So I'll see where I am at the end to see what I can get, but it's not worth the grind to work toward any certain reward, especially the earrings.
