Mog King EX - Longest queue in game?

Hi!

I've been progressing trough the Extremes, because I want to complete all the sidequests before entering the new content (someday I'll catch up with the patches, I just don't know when).

The problem is: I'm stuck at Mog EX. Me (WHM) and my best friend (SCH) queued for this little monstruosity since saturday. 5 hours queue at saturday (0/2 TANK, 2/2 HEALERS, 4/4 DPS). Got out and tried party finder. Just one person (DPS) joined, left after 25 minutes waiting for more people to join.

Sunday: we both queued together again. 2:35 hours, 0/2 tanks. We decided to do Odin, queued, healed the fight, won. Back to queueing for Mog. More 2 hours: 0/2 tanks, 4/4 DPS.

I tried today too, alone. 0/2 tanks 1/2 healers, 4/4 DPS. FOR 3 HOURS STRAIGHT.

Am I just extremely unlucky or no one wants to tank this fight?

There is no reward to do it anymore the gear you get from it is really outdated. It's not linked to any of the main story quests you are better off skipping it for now and going back later if you can find people. Nobody is doing it at all.

It's also a huge pain in the ass in DF because you generally get people with no idea what to do and it can take an hour to teach them.

Ontop of all of this, it's also the only EX primal that does not drop a mount, excluding HW primals. Add it all together and there's practically no incentive for people to run this fight unless it's a sync'd PT trying to farm whiskers

So my only alternative is to skip it and keep trying until a get a run? Oh, lord

Yeah, the only people running that are doing for the Whisker drop that is used to make the glamour weapons that sell for millions. If you were on my server me and my FC would help you out...maybe someone will help you. Maybe you have to bride them with a little gil but I'm sure someone would do it for free just have to catch the right day and time probably. That is touph luck.

you can 3 or 4 man mog ex with lvl 60 unsynced

3 if you are good, 4 if you play average

When using Party Finder, try shout in the popular areas. If it's not a very off peak time, this normally speeds up people joining.

I normally wait 15-20 mins, then try shouting. All Heavensward areas + 2.0 main cities + Mor Dhona + Popular FATE locations like Northern Thanalan and Costa Del Sol.

Repeat shouting every 5 mins or so and it normally speeds up getting a full party. And don't give up after 25 mins, just let the full party finder queue time of 1 hour expire.

It's also an annoying and unsatisfying fight too

And the whisker doesn't drop in undersized parties.

To put it simple: Noone likes this fight. All friends and me avoid this instance... I'll need to run it on our 3 mans one day but I avoid Mog EX maybe even more than Iffi EX unsynced with more than 4 people :o

it may not be the hardest 50 extreme

but it is pretty annoying especially doing it in DF

and it drop no pony no mount

but i do agree SE should do something about those outdated raid and trial

like this, the ultima's bane and those 24 raid...etc

I suspect that this instance does not have the longest queue time.

Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 3 probably has a longer queue time.

I was feeling those long queue times the other night when trying to get a clear for a friend so we can start farming ramuh for pony. XD I actually kinda liek the moogle fight, but I will be honest, I would be more inclined to run it, if it dropped a pony also. How I long for a pony with moogle's theme. lol

I really don't know why they never made a Pony for it tbh instead of a horn it could have a pom or something.

Tanks looking for clears to put toward tank titles/mounts should be happy to tank this fight.

That said, Party Finder is the way to go. Put up a "Mog EX Unsynced Clear, please know fight" and you should get enough people to fill it, either those who also need a clear or people hoping for a whisker drop. And of course if it goes really easily you can offer the potential for a whisker farm.

I have tanked this fight three times. The first was an abysmal failure and the group disbanded. The second was a super easy one-shot clear. The second was a messy clear after a few wipes. It really depends on the group and whether they know the unsynced mechanics.

Why would you do something like Mog EX when you could go farm T4 unsynced instead? The fight is annoying and there's no pony. The only reason to really go is to farm whiskers. I know I only do Mog EX when newer people in my FC need clears.

The whisker won't drop if you go in unsynced.

I just think that after Churning Mists even killing a moogle is just too much moogle.

That Kingly Whiskers go for 7-8 times more than the other EX crafting mats says it all.

This is the second time I've seen people complain about the wait time for this fight. The responses are always the same too: "There's no real reward for completing it."

However... correct me if I'm wrong, and I assume I am, but don't you have to clear this fight to unlock Ramuh EX? In which case, wouldn't more people be doing it since Ramuh EX DOES drop a mount and have completion benefits?

That does nothing to get people who have already cleared to run. You don't fill up df queues with first timers. You fill it up with people grinding.

Just passing by to say I haven't cleared that thing yet. I even joined a "farm" party wich was unsucessful because someone on the team (and I really think it was the Scholar) kept dotting the BLM until killed.

Random healers on this fight are the worst, just like random healers in Ifrit EX...
