    Though there are still the first timers going through those, like me, I'm level 50 but still haven't done any of these, except the Vigil.

    The reason for that is because the other two are not required by the main story but are done through the relic quests via requirement of grand company etc.

    I do feel bad but I understand the frustration. While leveling my SCH, I had queued in progress right before the first boss in Aurum Vale. The pulls were slow. The paladin was a level 50 (level synced to level 49, had gallant surcoat, etc) most likely trying to get his relic. At coincounter he didn't say anything. He got hit by 90% of the swipes and the only got out of 2 swings. We asked him to shield bash the glower and also avoid turning the boss around by running really far behind the boss so coincounter would turn around and cleave both him and a DRG. He kept getting hit by all of them even though after the first and second wipe we explained exactly all the mechanics and how to deal with them. He also ran in twice before I could put up protect and succor the group before his pull. The 4th wipe we had, there was a vote abandon.

    Yeah I have the Darkhold and Castum Meridianum still up on my screen to do, but just can't commit to the time to do them. Then still have to do The Praetorium to finish out the main quest.

    If you are in a FC, make sure you can get at least 2 tanks or 2 healers from your FC to do Castrum or Praetorium with you, with the understanding that they will let you watch the cutscenes. If you don't you will miss large portions of the story, because not all of them can be seen in the inn, and it just doesn't feel right in the inn either, totally messes up the continuity. If you only got 1 tank and 1 healer, the speed runners will single tank and single heal and speed run the whole thing and force you to skip cutscenes and sometime even miss the boss if you are lost. So the only way to guarantee this doesn't happen to you, is have 2 tanks or 2 healers, and then you can DF the rest. And hopefully they don't try to vote kick abuse on you or your FC tanks or healers.

    No FC here, though I must get about 5 invites every time I play, and the occasional "why aren't you in a FC"? I just reply " because I hate people" and they leave me alone. I would like to start my own, call it None of the Above, or Did I Ask for Fries?
