Carry Runs ?

[Karshan]

Not sure you can even find someone to carry you through E8S unless you're atleast able to do the mechanics. You can not do Light Rampant or Icelit Dragonsong with 7 people and even Wyrm's Lament becomes an absolute mess.

Agreed. E8S has 8 man mechanics, carrying E8S means the kind of carrying that is not very TOS compliant of giving them access to your account. Though it's not direct gil selling, I'm sure GMs won't be thrilled of having threads of people buying run carry, however legitimate your situation to resort to that may be.

But just a piece of advice / reassurance : if you have the time to make the amount of gil it usually takes for carries, then you have the kind of time to properly hit that PF, as infuriating and full of nonsense as it may sometimes be, and get it by yourself through the wipes and the tears

Tbh I would wait until 5.4. It's probably only 2 weeks away and will give us better gear + bring back the more dedicated people. Party finder right now is so bad that you can barely kill E5S in farm parties, imagine how long Shiva is gonna take.
