Irregular Tomestones Event Announced!

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...212/cx604we391

Here's the link!

Any thoughts? What dungeon are you guys going to spam to farm, and any items you're interested in? Namazu Neckerchief looks to be the 100 Tomestones prize this time. I am for sure looking at the Minion and the TT cards.

Edit, just spotted the Intelligent Impressions /read emote is on the list, no way I'm missing that...

Which means 6.3 is January 10th.

CC isnt part of irregular tomestones, unfortunate.

Nifty. This event starts the day that I can start playing regularly again.

Check the mount drops before you spend tomes on them.
Many mount's are faster farmed with the regular way then getting the tomes.

After being stiffed in prev groups, I want the Hallowed Kamuy, will be the last one for the Nine Tails achievement.

Trust factor for mount farm groups: zero. I dont appreciate being used.

Can these instances be done unsynched and still get the tomestones?

No, they have to be run synced.

It looks like we won't have a fast BLU cheese way this time.

brayflox hard would be just as fast with BLU anyway

I will need 130 tomes to get all I want. Add another 100 if for whatever reason I want the Neckerchief. Sadly it's not armoire-able as far as I can notice. The extra mogtomes acquired will probably go to the maps... or MGP vouchers (but what do I even need from MGP... lol).

Unlike the other previous mogtome event, this will probably be my first mogtome where I'm not going to go hard on farming.

I'm a bit surprised they did not add Aurum Vale this time, though.

EDIT: Also RIP Frontline matches, gonna see many more purposely throwing the game.

I feel you very much on this one. Says "farm party, do not loot and scoot" but of course nobody gives a f***. Got what they needed? Baaaiiilll.

I'm content to just wait for mogtomes to get -all- EX mounts. This one's no different.

Looking at the rewards this time I fortunately have 99% of the items already so I'll probably just go for the MGP and the gear or whatever else tickles my fancy.

Would it have killed them to add Eden's Promise to the list instead of Ultima, the High Seraph?

Trying to farm that damn card is a nightmare. :mad:

Awesome - I think I can skip this one. Already have the mounts and whatnot. And everything else I could need is on the MB anyway. I will say though, that I've really enjoyed the ability to earn stuff like Ex Trial mounts through this limited time event. There's nothing worse than RNG just not working in your favor and then having a guaranteed method to obtain a particular mount.

Brilliant - lots of items there that are new to me! I see some grinding ahead, and you know what? I don't mind that!

When does the Starlight Celebration usually start though? Is it a set number of weeks before R/L Christmas?

Oh dear, oh my, no no no no no..this was in an FC on Elemental that, as soon as all their raider buddies got the mount, "Im tired" "I have to go", reminder of the promise to get the mount on a later run were met with "Its hard to get a group when they already have it"......

In other words, I was used and lied to.

So, you will forgive me when I say I will never EVER trust an FC or a mount farm group ever again.

Eh :( I still need the fist pump emote to randomly punch people I guess…

Damn, the fife, the sheep and the emotes? and I get to spam dun scaith? big W for me

Of course this event's theme is encouraging folks to do the prereqs for Tataru's Grand Endeavor and Manderville. ;) I think the only thing I need is the card from Kugane Ohashi, so it'll be nice to find that on roulette more often.

Happy for Weeping City, missing caster glam there.

Not much with Rival Wings, I want to be excited but these events are mostly salt mines between people not caring enough to play and the other side flaming people at the sight of losing because they want to get the wins asap before RW goes silent.

I want the burger, that is all. But there is plenty for me to do even without the event.

I also will be getting my last doggo needed for Kamuy. My problem is also trust, but in the these people have done the fight yet can't get a clear for one or two. Or can't teach it. Guess I'll start looking at ShB ex fights.

I'm excited to spam HW stuff that won't be ARF and pvp.

Same. I'll be sure to do that with my hubby since we both also need the card.

Already have most everything else so I'll just get the Namazu neckpiece for the sake of collecting and maybe just get whatever could make a profit on the MB or get more MGP.

Nothing there I don't have as usual, they're nearly all easy farms or available on the MB really. But it seems to be a popular event so won't grumble too much if others enjoy it.

Track what you need from it..

Yoshi already said the 3rd is unlikely, so it's probably going to be the following week.

Look for the live letter date and make an estimate based on that. It usually follows 11 days after, but again, it's unlikely to be the 3rd as I suspect they're just getting back from a break.

I'm missing a lot. Unfortunately it'll have to wait until after finals. If they were available through trusts I would probably be afking prae right now for them(since you can let the trusts do pretty much everything except the last fight).

I assume that they understood with how they expanded trusts that a lot of people might do this if they didn't restrict it though.

I need that sheep mount for my main and alts. This gonna be fun to farm. And maybe this time people will learn from their runs in Dun Scaith that you really should hit Sprint for Void Death.

They do have the date in mind months in advance. You could even argue it's fixed years in advance unless there is a delay that pushes it all along such as the covid delays. This date has always been easy to calculate or to narrow down to within 2 weeks of when it happens.

They don't tell us the exact date until 1-2 weeks before just in case something goes wrong and they have to delay. But the truth is something doesn't really go wrong because SE has had much of the patch ready for months and has been doing QA on it for months and if there was a problem, they would have fixed it by now.

The moogle event typically starts exactly 29 days before the next major patch, so it is very likely, but because they have not officially announced the date, I can't tell you with 100% certainty. Just 99% certainty.

I like to save up for the emotes/hair and then buy a few with the tomes and then hold them until a few months after the event and sell them. I sold a hairpiece for over a million like 4 times.

Telling people to sprint is good blanket advice, but if you know what you're doing and get out early then you don't need to sprint to survive.

If you're sucked into the centre by the second pull then yes, you need to be sprinting to get out before the blast goes off, but if you're far away enough before the pull-in, you'll only get dragged to the edge of the circle and can escape at normal speed.

Also, once you've escaped the second pull, you can stop running as soon as you're outside the circle. Some people keep running out to the edge when they don't need to.

their are two mounts i need one for my three tail.

Honestly I just appreciate the calculated estimate cause I did not know any of this. I'll take a chance and just ask for the day off anyway. Thank you for the reply!

I once saw half an alliance get splattered because of not moving out of it fast enough. Unfortunately I was on BRD that run. *sad BRD noises*
