As someone who has run, in total, 12 floors of Alexander...

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

I have been farming FCOB for months and got 1 or 2 pieces of equipment? After 1 week of Alex I got 1 belt, 2 jewels and 2 tokens for legs. Not saying it is the best solution but it is definitely better than what we had before (except if RNGesus loved you). As others said, if you join farm party it usually takes 4 - 5 runs untill everyone has what they wanted (I know we get 2 tokens per run, but.. yeah random tokens).

Better would be an understatement, alex savage is farmable for tokens on day 1.

Oh wow twelve runs of faceroll raid content you poor thing!

I wouldn't say it's farmable for tokens. You only ever get 1 token from each floor per week anyway, and you get it on your first kill of that week. That's not farming for tokens, is it?

Guess the grass really is greener on Balmung. Most farms I've ever been in on Gilgamesh clear once and disband because you scrubs aren't good enough. The others were one-shot groups where people almost always bail after getting loot and then we cant one-shot anymore.

I just did a gilgamesh farming party with 4 clears this morning.

If people join a farm party that says multiple runs for the loot and leave when they get their piece blacklist them.

I wanted the chest token. [...] I thought for sure that I would get shafted.

That wasn't a "gilgamesh farming party," then. It was an actually decent farming PF that miraculously happened to be on Gilgamesh. They can happen, but it really shouldn't feel like finding the Holy MF-ing Grail when you do.

Yes it is. It's farming in the sense that you can repeat it as many time as you want until you get the item you want. Versus the old system where you could only do the run once the entire week regardless of what dropped at the end.

The person you quoted was responding to a comment about Alexander Savage. You cannot farm the savage mode. You clear it once and everyone gets a token just for clearing it in addition to the two random loot drops as we used to get in Coil. It still has the weekly lockout as Coil had.

I don't think you understand. Savage has the old coil loot rules. The only difference is that it added a token drop that everyone is guaranteed when you clear. Once you've cleared for the week, that's it. No more chests for you unless you help out a party of 4 or more non clearers. And even then that only lets one chest drop for them

I was too slow it seems
