thank you square for Bozja

Bozja is so awesome! some many cool fights to be had and the critical engagements are something else, some of those fights are just plain crazy! This is so much better than eureka, hope to see more of this stuff in the future.

I'm debating whether or not to start the bozja stuff for my weapons or finish my WHM leveling... I figure if I finish my whm it'll give Bozja enough time to calm down a bit and not be such a congested rush, but I REALLY want to start upgrading my weapons!

You can level up from 71 to 80 in Bozja, like you would in a potd or hoh.

I have not been able to get on yet today but I am curious about Bozja before I begin tonight. Is it just kind of a Eureka FATE farm where you run with the train and hope to get in an engagement or is it just party up and hope for a FATE? Also if I haven't started by now am I going to be way behind most people in the instance or can new players join pretty easy?

The fates happen constantly and there are enough of them. Not like Eureka where the fate spawn is determined by killing X amount of a particular enemy. Grouping up with different level people does not affrect drop rates. Higher level people can help you and be in party with you.

Higher level players still do most of the Critical Engagements, and higher level people don't impact you unlike Eureka, so you should be fine. There are definitely more people like you who won't be able to play until "primetime" tonight.

What worries me about the critical engagements is the more players that are active and involved means the lower my chance of actually getting in to them, so I will probably go in with the expectation of not being able to do any.

There are only 72 ppl per instance and 48 per crit engagement, as long as you are doing the standard fates you should get into them fine. I would say I have gotten into about 99% of them, even one when I first entered and hadn't done a thing yet.

Nah, I think there's something there that if at least one of your party members has priority, your entire party will go in. I remember doing one with one other person while the others were back at camp progressing the quests and we were able to get into it. Seems like for every one I wasn't to get into, I was able to get into the next several.

If you stick to a party and contribute well, the party lead can sign up to participate in it and it has to accept the entire party. So doing it solo would be tough to participate but even so, they are a big deal boss and requires full parties to fight.

I'm really enjoying it. So far, so good!

I like Bozja, really. But I've come to a sad realisation that Red Mages in there do not use Verraise.

Considering how deep and passionate my utter loathing for Eureka was, THANK YOU SQUARE for making it possible to get the relic without ever setting foot on the southern front.

I'm a little weirded out at how *easy* it is - got my first one done in 4 hours. Also weirded out that the HW Fate/Dungeon grind appears to be many times faster than getting it done in Bozja.

But I guess if I seriously want to grind, I can get the other 16 relics. Or keep doing the non-FF14 things I've taken up during the long dry spells.
Or ... even see if they've surprised me, and I can actually tolerate Eureka 5.0. But probably not until the initial rush dies down.

You can do this part without being in Bozja at all, but I am completely expecting them to lock the last step of the relic behind having a max resistance rank, making you take part at least enough to get that.

If they lock relic completion behind Resistance rank, then I'll just make the same rationalization I did in Stormblood, and ignore the "relic" entirely: "There are no Stormblood Relic weapons, there are just Heaven-on-High and Eureka weapons".

And also be slightly mad at SE for breaking what seemed to be a pretty solid promise. But not enough to do more than whine on the forums.

It honestly feels like an oversight that it's easier to grind the relic outside of Bozja then it is within.

Hopefully that changes at some point.

Could be that we haven't figured out how to properly farm memories inside Bozja? There are plenty of enemies, some of them with a unique name and skin, I will not be surprised if those are substitutes for HW dungeons. The same way those rank 5 enemies are probably a good source of loot.
