    On Ultros that's... basically how it is, yeah.

    I don't know why it's that way but the average AK group on Ultros is minimum 30 minutes and goes as far as 40 minutes depending, because the server doesn't do the whole "run to boss/die" thing. And honestly, I don't care. AK is bland and boring, and you're better off just doing Garuda for a change of pace.

    Ultros is not the average. Not everyone is on Ultros.

    Either wayr point about optimal tome farm was correct.

    Spamming Praetorium is the BEST source for tome farming. AK and Wanderer's offer like 3-4k gil per run though, on top of gear for seals and maybe even gearing up your alts if you dont have all AK pieces yet for every class.


    People are deluding themselves, though. The grind is the same. It was 100 tomes pre-hotfix, and it is 100 tomes post-hotfix.

    It still takes 72 runs of whichever of these boring, easymode dungeons for a full DL+relic set.

    Praetorium?
    Wanderer's Palace. 2 pulls -> 1st boss, 2 pulls -> 2nd boss, 2 pulls -> 3rd boss, rinse, repeat.
