    Mentor Roulette - Are you doing it?

    With only 5 lore as the reward and the realization that you could end up with any dungeon or ARR extreme trial (synced). I somehow think this will be a very underutilized roulette.

    I will probably and end up doing it from time to time and when I get a particularly annoying trial with 4 newbies in it. It will end in abandon after 15 minutes.

    I'm waiting a while to become a mentor for a few reasons but after that I plan to run the roulette.

    I would if it didn't have some rather high requirements. I hadn't yet got through all the 50 ex trials which I find slightly odd requirement since leafs are not very likely to end up in those anyway.

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.

    From my understanding, the mentor roulette goes to help newcomers to any raid, dungeon, or trial. I might be wrong though so if I am please correct me. But if I'm right, it would make a lot more sense.

    Yea someone wrote he got Mog EX (which made me scared).

    I am going to do it but atm focussed on favors as the droprate of favor items in dungeons is just a SE troll.... need to catch up and what they added is a joke just now as I have the tomes spare to use on anything they remove them and "add to dungeon" - said the folklore.
    Cleared everything synced and all but given example of Mog EX even in DF so if people not fully laggy or language/understanding barriers turn up most are absolutely doable.

    But what about the people who get the Ex Primals who've maybe only completed it one and haven't done it in god knows how long. If I get any Ex Primals but Levi, I'll be screwed if I've qued as a tank, and I'll most likely be doing the roulette as a tank since I'm more interested in the gil than the tomes. In my opinion they should be removed as Ex Primals arent really a novice/mentor thing but a Stone, Sky, Sea thing.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    I've done it 3 times now. Got totorak and haukke manor with newbies, and last night I got sastascha normal with 3 people all over level 50. None were new. It was weird.

    I've been doing it. So far I've gotten 1 guildhest and 2 leveling dungeons with no new players.

    I think the fact it could be almost any instance is part of the fun.
    Admittedly I'm not sure I could teach someone how to say, properly tank Ramuh Extreme, but I'm willing to try. It's definitely only something to sign up for when you have lots of time and are in the mood to help others.

    Done three so far, and got Halatali, Darkhold, and weirdly, Fractal. No new players yet.
    I'd assume that it tries to pull people from the mentor queue into groups with new players if possible, but it seems like a lot of what it's doing is pulling people in on anything that needs bodies. I personally find the idea of "total wildcard roulette" to be kind of fun.
