occult crescent tips and eureka comparison

[Musashidon]

Can't say I ever noticed any indicator of the enemy's aggro type, so I just never bothered to try and sneak around at all, even though I primarily leveled on NIN, because it seemed like everything was jumping me all the time no matter what I did.

I'm not even sure what level you have to be over the enemy to make them stop instant-attacking you, I just know at some point ones below a certain level "eventually" started leaving me alone, but then the mobs right around the corner would be aggressive so traversing the zone was a constantly slow crawl because it never seemed like it was safe to mount up anywhere.

the answer is 2 lvls below you! anything 1 level below you or higher will agro you so basically at lvl 20 anemos (lvl cap for it) only lvl 19 monsters or higher will agro you.

eureka has is a low lvl is super dangerous while high lvl makes the overall area much easier and safer due to less agroing and how you will be much stronger than anything that you will normally come across especially since all the max lvl or higher monsters are way out of the way and you kinda have to go find them. the only time this not the case is for sleeping dragons and hydatos which you can easily hit the high lvl area one accident.

basically once you hit lvl cap eureka is a pretty much different experience.

i will also ask have you tried eureka after the moving and mounting update? i feel its also does a number on the difficulty of the content since you dont have to stand around to mount anymore. i wonder how you feel about it with the change if you have tried it.

Wait how do you know this? Did they announce this somewhere or are you guessing? Idk how we can have any tips per say until seeing the content. The only thing we can probably infer is that fates will be meta since that seems to be all that FFXIV knows when it comes to this content. Although it would be wild if we needed party members to take out higher level mobs for better xp. I would be happily shocked.

i am slightly confused. i am not talking about enemy deagro for occult crescent in that comment i was specifically talking about eureka in that one! as you say they could have changed the deagro level or even removed it completely (but i doubt it).

the reason we can have tips is because occult crescent is just eureka 2.0 it will be the same just with some enhancements/changes SE has a tendency to stick to the same formula so our knowledge from eureka will be good for when entering into occult crescent.

you are right though that without stepping into the content we dont know what has changed/is different but we do know that chain parties from eureka are back it is stated, this also means you will want to kill the highest lvl monsters possible while in full party groups just like eureka i mean unless with our lvl 100 skills kit it will be better to mass agro more mid lvl monsters and mass wipe them out but either way we it will be working like eureka in that aspect.

if i havent cleared up why i made this or you have more questions just let me know!

i will also say we have job exp and knowledge exp we dont know if you get both from fates or if it will have to be a mix of both to get them leveled up!

i will also say fates will never be meta they are super slow and bad exp people did it because it was easy and no effort chain parties are the better exp especially if we consider all the downtime of waiting for NM to be spawned which if you are with a mass of players = basically no to little exp.

fates were meta in bozja just because they were the only thing that actually gave rank exp!

once again i hope i cleared this up!
