PSA to all the people farming Garo stuff

5.1 is about six months away.

Y'all don't need to panic and flip out and get your stuff this week.
Chill out, you have plenty time to get your Wolf Marks and stuff.

But when all people panic now the queue times will become shorter :O

the wolf marks are not really an issue, the wins will take some time thou

As an aside, if you're doing the Feast, please don't chase people behind the LoS walls when you're at half HP. It makes my healer soul weep.

Wait until i try to do feats .... xD

Its sad its ending it was one of the best sets out there and pretty unique, yes theres time but later we might only use pvp for the daily roulette due being bussy in SHB, i kinda feel pushed to finish it too... though im in the wrong grand company for that xD

I'm never going to bother with the achievements as I don't enjoy PVP, but it'll be sad to see the gear go. Some of the pieces have really nice designs, and there's the invisible PLD shield as well.

Now I have to go through the decision process of which ones I might ever possibly want for each of my characters, and whether I want the dyeable PVP versions enough to suffer through PVP for them.

The dyeable butterfly hairpin is a must, and a lot of the coats look good on my Elezen.

Fingers crossed for a price reduction in 5.0, at least.

Might as well farm it now while theres not much else going on. In 5.0 there will be new pvp glams to spend wolf marks on and who wants to be using them on Garo at that point? :o

I have no interest in "quick, go do this content you don't like before we take your rewards away forever!" pushes. I had more than enough of that in WoW.

It might be half a year away, but once Shadowbringers comes out, there are going to be so many new things in the game I'd much rather be spending my time on than PvP.

While I'm with you in that I don't particularly like content that makes you have to fight an impending deadline, the Garo cross-over has been around for over 2 years. I wouldn't say that qualifies as rushing the player base. ;)

This is the longest running event here in final fantasy with 2 years. That it ends doesn't mean that someone forces you or tells you to do it quick before it ends. There was and is enough time to get it done if someone is interested to do so.

I think a lot of us are rushing right now so we can get the feast part done before the queues die again. I don't want to have to try this is 2 weeks when feast queues become 20 - 30 mins.

Actually, for the feast wins the best time is now when the queue times are relatively low due to start of season. (It actually needs 1 tank 1 healer 1 ranged 1 melee x 2 exactly when forming the group) After the beginning of the season the queue times get quite long. The roulette at least keeps FL active.

PSA: People just want the garo stuff out of the way because when the new expac hits, that's going to be the new focus that players may not have as much time to participate in PvP if they are enjoying other parts of the game.

You could just get the MGP version for that one :D The "real" one isn't dyeable either so MGP may be the easier option for you.

For newer players I could probably understand why they may feel rushed. It's quite the grind with PvP not really in the best state. But for players who have been around for the duration of the event...not so much.

Some people may not actually be playing for all of those six months. I haven't played for the majority of the last year, and I sure don't intend to play for the next couple of months.

Aye, and the fact they are warning everyone 6 months early is like they are trying *not* to rush people.

WTF is a Garo?

Why should they nerf any of the prices though? Countless people got the achievements/items they wanted in the last couple years that the event has been out. If they cater to people who are late to the party, which there always be people who are late, then people will expect that with every event.

If they cater to the latecomers, I will be rather miffed with the decision to say the least.

I hope for the opposite... after 5.0 launches... increase the costs. So let's say it costs 1'000 wolf marks for a piece now, make it cost 10'000. And I speak as someone who doesn't have a single piece, so would definitely lose out. Will send a clear message too that the latecomers won't get what they want.

I have been playing PvP since I found out they were going away, and I am 5 wins off of the last mount ("Furious Fatalities" 55/60). I have hit 20k Wolf Marks twice since I started. There is definitely enough time right now to get everything.

That is stupid as hell. With the new expansion there will be an influx of new/returning players who will just find out, or start finishing it up then and there. Last chance, just make it known.

What about this was quick? When it ends you'll have had over 2 years to complete it.

The Makai gearsets available from either the Gold Saucer or PVP.

The GS versions are Lv1 glamour items, but the PVP versions are Lv60, dyeable, and have titles, achievements and mounts related to them if you collect a set and play a certain amount of PVP matches.

Thanks. Yes, MGP will be my preferred route for anything that I don't think needs to be dyeable. It's just annoying to have to decide and purchase it all now instead of waiting until I actually want to wear it.

I knew I've been slackingi n Stormblood but I didn't realize it was that bad...

Nude Power Rangers? I'm down for that!

People are panicking and doing it now because come 5.0 the queues will be dead with everyone doing new expansion stuff. By the time they finish the expansion and try to get the Garo stuff it will be too late.

I got the one mount and healer, Ninja and caster gear which was good enough for me :)
What is the reasoning that they are ending the Garo collab? Just curious really as i think it could have remained in game like Monster Hunter. Not a big deal again... just curious

Given that I probably pvp a couple times a month because the queues are shit, I certainly don't have plenty of time.

This right here. Once people have gotten all their titles/mounts/gear, it'll be back to 30 minute+ queues.

A note for people wanting the outfits: if you get the 5 main pieces (head, chest, legs, hands and feet) plus the weapon and equip them for the title, it will make that whole set available from the salvager. If you do not get the title (and achievement) then you are stuck having to keep it in inv somewhere. I would grind for the whole set so you can discard it if you need inv and buy it back at your leisure.

most likely licensing agreement has come to an end.
