I thought this my be the chance to get 100 (done and over with) and then I read up on going to the diadem for the possible sky pirate part. There apparently isn't a way to get in without a FC. I just might have to go for 80 or try to just get the materials and bug one of my friends to make it because I'm pretty sure the prices have already gone up on my server. I should just learn to check in earlier.

Apparently there is a chance for chinchilla hides to be gotten from one of the level 50 ventures (XI I think?) so that's a plus

You can queue for it solo - though it's a 'hidden queue' like Palace of the Dead that doesn't show up in the duty finder.

You need to speak to the organisers outside the airship landing in Ishgard. Buy a mission voucher from the quartermaster, then speak to the mission commander to register.

(I haven't tried it yet myself, though I heard the queue is pretty dead trying to get in this way - but hopefully will pick up this week!)

If you know of an FC with an airship that will let you use it, you can enter that way. You don't need to be a member of the FC.

I appreciate the information. I do have some neighbors I can pester but I went ahead and bought the pants. The healer pants were only 80k which is surprising. The sky pirate stuff normally goes for around 50-60. I checked some of the other stuff and the chinchilla hides are 50k, compared to near 300k for the dress material of the first week. I am still going to attempt to get in to the Diadem on Saturday just for the sheer fact I've never been there. Are cross world parties also possible?

Yes, but you may struggle for queues, to be honest. Diadem was almost dead on arrival, even when it was new. I would ask a few friends to come along with you to help you get aether currents (you have to get them to fly everytime you enter) and then they can leave and you can explore.

You don't need aether currents anymore in the new Diadem.

Most pants on my server are selling for 300,000 (or less) on the AH if you can't get into the Diadem (but that could just be my server)
