Moogle event question thread

Hai gamers, couple of questions.

what's the fastest way to farm currency for this event?

currently doing the Praetorium, and even tho im on 2nd run Im losing sanity from the amount of cutscenes.

also why are Demon Brick Earrings so expensive?

and lastly, when does new patch come out?

1. I’m not sure.
2. Because it’s the only “new” thing and they want you to stay subbed and playing.
3. Mid-end of August probs.

more than likely it’ll be running aurum vale with a full group of blue mages. after that probably HMHM as BLU. PVP isn’t a terrible way either if you can’t do BLU farming.

doing Ivalice because I like that place.
Might not be the fastest, but at least I'm gonna enjoy the runs

The event is meant to keep you playing, not to farm out and be done in a day.
Using the MSQ to farm the tomestones becomes a lot less sanity losing if you only do it once per day. You have about four weeks, you'll get more than enough stones chipping away at content for that time.

Moogle tome events are usually 1 month before the patch, so everyone is at least 95% certain we'll get the patch on August 23.

Pace yourself for what you want, if you run roulettes you're likely going to be getting things for moogle tomes anyway :)

There is always 1 glam item for the amount of 100; they've been earrings except for one time when we finally got the Inferno Jacket l...ast time or the time before, I don't remember. You do have some time to get a lot of items though, so if you do a couple of big payout dungeons every day you'll get plenty of tomes easily over the course of the event.

2 minions ... 37 tomestones this one will be quick :D

Pvp if you don't have a BLU to farm with(not sure which run they'd farm, assuming Vale if that's the easiest though).

Sadly I'll be doing pvp because my BLU is only level 44 and I don't have enough spells on it.

Prae also doesn't look too bad if you have things to do and you can time them during the cutscenes(although sadly not as afk as it was before the changes).

Ah, Moogle Praetorium was so awesome before they (rightfully) gave it a play lift

Someone said the earring transforms you into a - quoting - demon. not sure if true, but big if true

I usually do Rival Wings for fast farming tomes, but now I just spam Frontline :)

If you mean Buried Memory 6.2 patch, August 23rd

Playing through instances that are of interest to you, at a pace you feel comfortable with, across the nearly one-month you have for this event.

Forcing yourself to run X again and again as fast as you can because it gives more tomestones is seriously harmful to your sanity.

Pick what you want from the list, add up the numbers, and play through instances across the four weeks so that you can meet that number. Try different things (things you might not have already queued for in the past).

My sanity's long gone.

I do msq roulette and one prae run per reset.

That's one of the things I miss from FFXI, gear with random quirky effects. Like turning you into demons, giving out presents, generating cookies, etc.

I'd imagine you have at least a month. Not sure the "fastest" farm but really just doing the MS roulette daily and if your bold enough the occassional extra preatorium when you have the time and enegery will most likely help with the sanity. Just like the old preatorium runs i would do a couple chores or pull up a video on you tube during the longer cutscenes.

For anyone still interested in this.

Apparently running the Aerum valley (or something in those lines) with blue mages (3-4) is a best way to farm did it today, was tanking myself it was 5 min runs each.

I'm leaning towards Deltascape spam. Grind up tomes and work on my tank mount achievements at the same time. I'm not in a huge rush to the finish anyway.

Maybe the fastest, but that doesnt have to equal it being the best way... personally I'd rather to some content I enjoy (PvP, Ivalice raids) while taking a little longer...

No. That's BLIZZARD'S schtick.

YoshiP has said REPEATEDLY he encourages people to take a break between patches to play other games.

Well, if you take a break you lose your house, and refunded amount disappears if you're not back in a month, so yeah. Blizzard's not the only one with that shtick. but that's a discussion for another day

Do you have any source for that quote? I am well aware that players love to repeat it to justify anything, true, but as far as I know, Yoshi-P only said that because someone was complaining in an interview that the game didn't have enough endgame content.

And it's obvious that the game wants you to stay subbed, no matter what Yoshi-P says for PR. Maybe play other games in the meanwhile, but you'd have to be seriously delusional to believe they want their customers to unsub.

Reverse order first.

3. The patch is almost always exactly 4 weeks after the event starts. Starting it on a monday tells me that they expect at least 12 hours downtime for the patch.
2. Earring is always the item in the 100 mogstone slot.
1. There's usually a group that will do Aurum Vale with an all blue (or 3 blu one tank if want easier runs over faster runs) Party. However I propose it might be faster to to Hawke Manor (hard) with all blue, with just the small problem of the final boss wiping the entire party if you go too fast that has to be solved for this to work. I also think that Keeper of the Lake with all blue has a chance to be properly fast as well.
In additon to that I'm doing MSQ roulette, Alliance Roulette, and Normal Roulette every day, I'll pick up some mogstones from that.
A prepmade of highskill might be able to run Deltascape 3 before the sand portal, and that's seriously fast. Folks were doing it before the stat squish, but it won't be as easy this time. I also suspect one of the alphascapes might be fast enough as well. But I'm not thinking randoms for this.
If you do Praetorian, do it while relaxing with a nice cold drink of iced "coffee"....

I don't have all my gwibs, so I might try to put together synced groups on the weapons to farm dragons and tomestones.

good insight.

I did bunch of Aurum Vale with 3 blues and myself and runs are 5 minute if clean and 7-8 minutes with mess ups, it does require higher APM however.

also did a few Prae runs while playing heathstone on background and watching a movie since 80% of that dungeon was cutsceenes, runs are 30ish minutes and extremly relaxing and easy but take long.

also did some Aurum vale with random dungeon finder, and runs took 10 minutes on good runs, and 14-20 on messy runs.

A.) In the grand scheme of things, very few people (compared to the hundreds of thousands of active players) actually have a house, so it's a minuscule small % of the playerbase that this would even apply to.
B.) The usual demo timer is about a month and a half, which allows for at least a full month un-subbed even if you have a house.
C.) Housing demolition hasn't even been active for several months now (since Russia invaded Ukraine).
