The mark grind at 50 is the most monotonous experience I've ever had in an MMO.

The worst part is that it kills people who want to level other classes.


I did CM & AK for full Darklight+ relic. It's a huge grind Each piece of accessory is 4 CM runs. The cowl/chest is 13 CM runs. The pants are 9 runs. The gloves and feet are 5 runs. The belt is 4 runs. It takes about 56 CM runs for a full kit of Darklight.

FIFTY-SIX RUNS FOR A SET OF GEAR OF THE SAME DUNGEON IS NOT ACCEPTABLE DESIGN.

If I want to suit up my scholar and monk, that's ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT runs of CM. That is just absurd. Especially if you want to do Titan HM and need to at least have full darklight accessories if not some of the body pieces as well, especially as a healer.

+9 more runs per relic.
Also, how does killing CM prove more dedication than titan? I wish the currency rewards at least tiered with difficulty. If your fc is able to farm fights like titan, the rewards should be higher than farming cm. And some will point out its about equal if you have a consistent group (or al ittle faster). But... seriously? Shouldn't it be much more? Turn 1 gives the same mythic as ak? Fo' realz?

Its not that this content is *HARD.* Its that its harder. Reward shoudl scale with difficulty, no?

SE just needs more options. They should have released Hard Modes for some of the lower lvl dungeons when the game started. This would have easily provided diversity in the grind to get geared up.

CT was supposed to release on live with the game which is meant to offer more choices and help gearing towards Coil.

I would much rather run actual dungeons than fall asleep in CM speedruns all day. But there's only 2 endgame dungeons and one has the bloody Demon Wall!

I know in 2.1 we are supposed to see hard mode for a few of the existing dungeons. I would like to think that all of these will drop tombstones and there will be alot more variety. I'm personally taking my time. Doing some crafting, getting close to the end of the story. When I got this game back in 2010 it for me was my replacement for FFXI. I hoping this can be my new favorite thing to do for at least the next few years.

Sry, everyone who cries about how boring running CM a dozen Times is just ignorant. You choose the easy and most efficient way to grind your Gear.Its not SE fault.
Ak/Wanderes Palace/CM and the second Story Dungeon all drops the little Tombstones.
It would be pointless and boring if every Dungeon contains the same Tombstones Reward.

Sryly...

all that to all look the same anyway
real question is, when can I dye my DL pink or bright yellow?

IMO I think all they would have 2 do is fix this is add a few more end game side dungeons. another 1 or 2 would be perfect, They all could drop the same Ilvl gear but different pieces, EX: X would drop head, body, pants and boots, Y would drop wep, hands, belt and neck, and Z would drop rings, ear rings and bracers. and all would drop both types of tomes. I think that would ppl wouldn't get so burned out in doing the same 2 things over and over
