Bozja/Zadnor Fates/Field Notes

I think its high time we talk about Bozja and Zadnor field notes.

Ive been going into b/z for lil over a year at this point doing specific fates for field notes and the drops for the field notes are extremely low. I have better chances getting the Lich Kings mount in wow with how the drop rates feel, its that bad. There is no reason why Ive done over 100=150 fates of one type for a note to drop and the field note doesnt drop.

But on top of that I have a few other problems with b/z that I want to discuss.

The instanced raids that are in there, almost no one does have the time. Its like a 20 percent chance to get at least 3 people to even sign up for it even that at times. Can we put these raids in the alliance raid daily que so they will at least get run and for us that want to spam it we can. Waiting an hour for CLL or Dal to spawn and then no one signing up for it, is a huge bummer. Then when you finally do get a group to do it, and say your hunting for a field note, we go back to the original issue of the drop rate, being extremely low or non exist.

Also, i have level five buffs of valor and fort, if thats the case why does my character have a hard time doing fates cause they are so tanky. For some reason it seems the fates are strong the more people are in a given area. Everyone only uses zadnor for zone 3 to level, so that makes the fates that we try to do in z1 and z2 almost impossible at times. I was in there today and i ran by a Zadnor Sasquatch and got one shot by a basic attack. Thats right buffed pretty well and I just get one shotted by a mob. Why is that, Ive done countless hours of b/z and there are just so many things wrong with the field note system.

Eureka vs Bozja. IMO eureka was way better, the devs gave everyone options to do stuff outside of bozja to get relics, and i get they wanted to try something new, totally fine. But that means that no one is in b/z doing anything half the time beside z3 farming.

All im asking is to up the drop rate on the field notes, they just dont drop from fates or the raids, I really dont understand it. Im a mount farmer thats what I do. Ive done blue mage, ultimates, savages and countless grinds and I have had no problem but with this b/z field note system. B/z is fun till you get to that point of the grind and the only reason stopping you is a drop rate lower then a legendary skin in a EA game loot box, and the mobs being to strong at times when your soloing a fate.

Anyone offering suggestions here, I hope that we can get this adjusted since its old content anway.

I also wanna note that cause I not fond of the bozja system, I very much love the game as a overall and am not trying to sound like im giving ill will here.

The Field Note rates are fine. Clear duels

There are a few that are only fate exclusive, like for example Attack of the super soldiers, there is no other way to get that note.

This will in regard to the fields notes. As mentioned here https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...he-Field-notes. there should be another way of getting them. As person that got the mount it was a pain to do even rng to be selected for the duels at that time was not favoring

If you've cleared Savage and Ultimate content then the duels are your best bet. They are admittedly awful to get into, but your chances are still better than getting the notes to drop from the fates. Additionally, I thought most of the duels were quite fun, especially the Dabog one.

That being said I do agree with your general sentiments. The scaling for the FATEs is pretty awful and they definitely need to either increase the drop rate or make them attainable some other way. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening but we can dream I suppose.

And the rate is fine for it

Personally, I think you should be able to buy a field note for 180 clusters or so. Takes work to get that many even if you are grinding, and I dislike the duels because they are too much '1 mistake and you are dead' encounters.

so a fate that ive done over 100 times, for a field note that i can only get from that fate, and it not dropping is fine? You can get entire mounts for 99 totems on extremes. The drop rate is not good. And this isnt the only issue that Ive seen with bozja. There is no reason that mobs or fates should be scaled up if im the only one in z2 and 30 people in z3.

sadly to say that was a hindsight on there part, they where more worried on "future proofing" content to clear with less people then scaling it down to how many people are in a instance

the drop rate are fine if you want a easier time most people go in dynamis to grind those it will be way easier and since you might be alone or with like 3-4 person it will be scaled decently enough so you can solo pretty much everything and some fate are also attached to mobs

The worst thing for me is the Fate Flame & Steel. It's unnecessarily difficult to spawn and with a fieldnote drop rate unreasonably low as well. They need to fix that one the most. The rest of Bozja is fine, imo. Great for leveling to 80 XD

i run that place all the time, in the process of capping out this character in there currently, its slow during off hours, but prime time and weekends its packed, can barely get 1 gcd in on any fate before it auto completed by shier volume of players, in the last few days ran multiple back to back CLL and DAL runs that were 48/48..

people are always complaining about this place, yet its still constantly full of people leveling jobs and farming relics, the only real change it needs is DR needs to be put in alliance raid roulette, and maybe make queuing for it (and queuing in general) possible inside bozja/eureka.. granted if you make a pf it fills in less than 10 mins... no one queues for it anymore without a PF grp

..and yes, before the snark points out that i'm posting from a toon on a populated server: you can all DC travel, if you dont want to, thats on you. come over to Adamantortoise (Aether DC for NA players) its generally popping off in the southern front and eureka here and we would be glad to grp up with ya.
