Skirmish: how?

[Zdenka]

Did you enter with less than 8? I have only gotten the one with Chimera, granted i have only did it twice. But i am assuming light party would get lesser mobs, because Chimera path has NMs mostly

We beat turtle island with 7 with 12 minutes remaining and got BLM staff only.

We beat Elm with 14m remaining (8m) and got Bow, and then turtle island with 14m left (8m) and got axe.

If 15m is trigger for 2x drops we're pretty close, its doable to finish these in under 10 if you really hammer out details.

Costs nothing, and I rock full AF and a mog-axe while the group I ran with was pretty much the same no crazy melded gear.

There's still hope, then. Thank you for the information.

Seems that multiple weapons are dropping for speed-run teams though. I really hope that they think Speed runs aren't the only way to reward players.

If that was their philosophy, then I doubt one weapon per run for non speed runs would be happening.

wtf is up with the Loot system?

1 coffer / win?

And whoever is left alive gets the loot, (or rather...the first player that opens the coffer will...)
well this is just awesome for some people >.>
Im not sure if i love this loot system or plain hate it.
Think i need to get a LS after all, so i dont end up in a "PUG" party for this.
(Can you smell Ninja looting?)

Why didnt you guys add this for primals too?

Could you please make up your mind SE, i mean we are paying for this "Test Game" of yours...still...
Now i miss the old FFXI lot system...this is just to plain unfair & well utter garbage.

Does the amount of enemies and/or their strength vary with party size?

I seem to remember some comrep or Yoshida saying that it would be balanced for 4-8 players. If you need 8 to have a chance at clearing it, it's not really balanced for 4-8, but for 8 .

I was kinda looking forwards to this as something I could just keep doing with 3 other persons that I know well, and not have to put together a full party.

3-4 people...doubtful since it's timer based.
5-6... i guess its possible.

Pickup groups for this... no thx.

The amount of NM might vary depending on how many on your team. For reference with full party:
Locke's: Dodore and gang, Mosshorn and gang, Ogre, Trio of Cactuar, Princess of Pestilence and Boar NM -> Pop Treant in the middle.
Turtle's: Great Buffalo -> Uraeus -> Chimera -> Coincounter -> Stone Golem (never got the scene where Coincounter appear during Chimera fight like Chardrizard, I guess NM spawn by either timer or the previous one killed trigger).

PUG? My first 3 fights were done with JP PUG, and all wins with 10+ mins left. It's very easy, the Chimera is nerfed I think compared to CC's Chimera, seems to die a lot faster.

It was taken out of it's natural habitat. *waves "Stop the Slaughter of Innocent Animals" sign*

Or maybe baby Chimera, and CC's is the mother. She's very pissed because someone stole her baby, so she chomped on Lalafell from Ul'dah.
