Coloseum Gears/ Faction Information

[Gramul]

You do realize this isn't supposed to be practical armor, right? It's COLISEUM gear. As in people fighting for show and to please the crowd. It's skimpy for a reason.

The Coliseum isn't just a simple petty show.
It is a competition. A matter of the bravest foes in thrilling combat.
It is a dark day in Ul'dah when one would sacrifice the thrill of the fight for the lust of the flesh. That's what the Miners guild is for.

Yeah I said it. Mining is just half the draw and everyone knows it.

Oh another thing, after you have done the 4 leves, try getting your leve history evaluated. Myself and 2 other LS members got the final 400pt faction leve apon evaluating with the 4 leves in our history (note that if you get a faction level from evaluation it doesn't cost you faction points to claim it).

Looks like impractical slut gear to me.

The 2nd leve is infuriating.

Edit: Switch to Paladin and use hallowed ground once you see the big group of nettles. You can just bullrush through it all.

Edit #2: A big FU to SE for making the drop rates on these things abysmal. Went 2/2 on the first two leves in this quest and then proceeded to blow 500 faction points in an attempt to get the Coliseum Galerus from
part 3 of this chain and ended up with nothing. Why SE? We already have to pay faction points just to do the quest and you turn around and slap us in the face by making pretty useless gear that is pretty much strictly for cosmetic purposes hard to get? This isn't effing Darklight. Toss us a damn bone for once.

/rant off.

Because you know real Gladiators wore suits of steel and all that.


They were lucky to get shin-pads.

Women gladiators?

Women gladiators?

I don't imagine it would have been a whole lot different for the women than the men. Considering they were all basically slaves they didn't get a whole lot of "Stuff".

Not even sure if female gladiators were really a "Thing" in Roman times, I'm sure there were some but it's not something they did often. So what did you expect female gladiators to wear when they men hardly had loincloths to begin with? a Potato sack?

The point is, let's not get too skimpy with the battle gear. I'd like a game with a little restraint for once.

if you do the first 3 and do leve evaluation you get the fourth one (that costs 400) for free.

Confirmed - Just tried this and got the 4th faction. Thanks for the tip!
