The ultimate waste of time...maybe

Since there's only 200k left before I get my Sabotender Emperador mount, I thought I'd share this.

I farmed Praetorium multiple times in a day for the past 6 days. One day had three runs, one day had seven, and the rest had six runs each. Six a day is ideal since that nets me 60 irregular tomestones which nets me 100k MGP. Now, I used to farm Ridorana, but I got pissed off due to always rolling low for the Construct 8 minion (I still don't have it yet). Praetorium made sense since it was fast to queue for and an easy dungeon overall. I don't want to farm Aurum Vale since I feel it's more stressful, and one guy here already did that. Here are the things I noticed during my runs:

• Voiced cutscenes are faster in French (Thanks to one of my party members for pointing that out)
• You can wait near the bulkhead and not do the magitek mount portion (I always tell the party that I'll wait by the wall)
• Gaius' "Yaaaaaarrrgh" has six As and three Rs
• As a healer, you can just stand in the middle and spam heals during the ddr laser attacks of Ultima Weapon (Thanks to another party member from another party for pointing that out)
• Once aggroed, it takes about 25-30 secs for Ultima Weapon to become vulnerable
• You can poop during the first cutscene with Gauis

Ofc, most of you probably already know all of these. Why am I sharing? I don't know. Don't worry. I am enjoying the game, and I'm not about to break. After getting this mount, should I farm for the pvp mounts? Should I start Eureka for the Ozma mount? Should I go back to farming Ridorana to get the minion?

I believe you. You already are.

Should have just done the aurum vale blue Mage farm, you'd be done by day 2.

Now imagine if everyone in the party sat there with you doing nothing. I think you'd quickly realize that the magitek mount part actually has to be done.

It was fun the time I convinced the party to dismount at the bulkhead and stare at the person who refused to get on the magitek mount. We ended up kicking that player after a couple of minutes.

Players, don't be the OP. Don't be that one person who think it's up to everyone else to do the work so you can get your reward.

Hence I always tell them if I do wait by the wall so that if someone had a problem with this, I would get in the mount. So far, no one has had a problem with this out of the times I did do it. I don't always do this and don't plan on always doing it for the remainder of my runs. I started doing this after I dismounted during the proto ultima arm section to heal a DRG from one run who got dangerously low (I was too late lol), after I saw a tank and healer from different runs do the same, and during another run when I lagged badly to the point where everyone went up the elevator w/o me anyway XD.

Yeah. My brother did mention the Blue Mage Aurum Vale run yesterday, but I'm already too deep XD.

Ive been farming it for 6 Years!! >:D
Best EXP...but maybe not best for Tomes

Farm it while you can, Yoshi already said that they are going to redo both MSQ dungeons from scratch soon.

Wait for it in 7.0!

That entire part (about the MSQ Castrum/Praetorium) was non-specific as to when it would/could be done. I certainly don't expect it anytime before 6.0, for example.

Agreed.
The way it reads to me is that he was stating what they thought about doing, confirmed that they moved away from that line of progress, and what their possible intentions are for when they finally get around to it.
Not at all a definitive statement that this is getting dealt with anytime soon.
Too bad.
Leaving those as the capstones of ARR is not a good look

Done farming regardless. Got my mount! :D

Nothing in this round of Irregulars that I want, so I just run MSQ roulette when I need a quick bit of EXP. I find that it's a lot easier to go through when you crack wise about the goings-on in the dungeons, particularly on Praetorium.

Otherwise, I have a Switch and a Neogeo Mini to help pass time in the cutscenes.
