    A Relic Reborn DF fights need addressing

    There seems to be a glaring issue which was overlooked when the previously non-DF fights were moved to the Duty Finder. Firstly, you need to unlock the fight to actually run it, a feat which is impossible for those who already have their relics. Secondly, there's no incentive for people to run it via DF.

    The reason DF works with most content is because you have incentives. Whether thats gil, tomes or XP, there's a reason people might want to run that dungeon. Since fights like Chimera offer none of those, it can become a nightmare to get members. The party finder works fine for situations like this, but then the question becomes what the point of having it on Duty Finder actually is. This is especially poignant when you consider that some players who join did so because they could jump in instantly and help out, which is not the case if they haven't unlocked it as previously mentioned

    I'd suggest adding some incentives for players to get involved, and remove the unlock requirement for people who have already progressed that far in the quest on at least one relic.

    1. You actually can go unlock it, just visit the places where Chimera and Hydra were and there will be a thing to interact with (marked Destination iirc) which opens the entrance for them.
    2. Since they're no longer in the actual world, they're likely to be DF queue'd as often as HM Primals are. Usually people will queue if they can't find a group, but it's not really hard to find a group for stuff like Chimera and Hydra.

    The thing I do miss is that before you could enter without having a full party. Now you have to have a full party of 8 people to even fight the damn thing, which is stupid. Why can't it still be like before where the people who didn't beat it already can see him just standing around looking menacing?

    That's the one thing I would like, be able to enter duty finder with less than the required amount of people if you want to.

    Don't see a problem at all. Before the patch you had just one option, now you have two of them. If you have your FC friends around you, start the fight in any constealltion you want by going directly to the portal for Hydra and Chimera. If you can't form a party on your own, unlock the quest and try to beat it with DF. Oh and for people with relics it is no problem to unlock those dungeons. Just go to the portal and click on it, done.

    Yeah, OP is way off. Unlocking them is as simple as visiting the spawn area once and clicking "destination". And they also give 10 Myth and 10 Phil. I saw one PF group trying to get a Chimera Myth farm group together. An over geared group can down it in a few minutes easy and get an easy 10 myth.

    This was done so the players in different worlds wanting to do Chimera/Hydra can put together a party. It also gives 10 philo/ 10 myth so there's your incentive. People QQ about this, they added it, other people still QQ about it.

    - Dhorme Chimera: Coerthas Central Highlands - The Weeping Saint (X:31, Y:7)
    - Hydra: Eastern Thanalan - Halatali (X:14, Y:30)
