    does anyone feel that the mysterious map is all a con and misleading players?!

    I completed my Atma weapon and finally grinded all the myth to get the ink

    then completed the following quest and started the map quest

    checked it, see that it can be soloed...

    and it was a morbol.

    and i died because it binded me and bad breathed me, even with my chocobo out, I could not solo it.

    It's really misleading to players and waste huge chunk of their hours to gain a map especially since 3,000 myth are needed while you can farm the alexandrite

    Adjust the maps so people don't feel disheartened like i do at the moment to lose a map after all the frigging hard work i have put into this frigging quest, really makes me mad!

    Yes, it seems a little unfair that releasing your corpse, even if it's to the same area the map was in, makes you lose the map forever.

    However, as for that Morbol...

    The threat is naturally that Bind keeps you from dodging the Bad Breath. You have options.

    1. Use a potion to increase Bind Resistance. I'm not sure whether this shortens the duration of a Bind or simply makes you less likely to be bound, but it ought to help.

    Most classes have a way to deal with the issue, too.

    White Mage/Scholar: You can still take actions while bound, so you can Esuna/Leech it off of yourself.

    Monk/Dragoon/Warrior/Paladin: You should be in melee range when you get bound. Stun the Morbol to prevent Bad Breath from going out. If it's flat out immune to Stun... uh oh. Paladins can use Tempered Will to remove Bind.

    Summoner: Have Titan tank the Morbol.

    Bard: Keep your distance. Be careful not to leash it.

    All: Chocobo tank. You might need to give it a bit to establish some semblance of aggro, but it could help.

    Unless the Morbol cannot be stunned, I don't see any artificial difficulty here. I see a challenge that requires you to use the tools at your disposal to overcome.

    Now... those instakill bombs? That might be a different story...

    Kill them before they blow up, you have like 15 or 20 seconds after they spawn, and they do about 1500 damage each, so if your damage is so low that you can't kill them all, you should be able to at least get a couple down and still survive the blast.

    I have to disagree about map difficulty adjustment, unless they forbid you to form party in order to complete then yes.

    The thing that misleading is the illusion that you can solo it easily since its written as recommended lv 50 which imply you are "ok" doing it solo. Well yes it soloable much, but shit happens anytime (like unwanted lag/spikes) which make it better to go with a party of 2 or 3.

    And yes that morbol killed me the first time i encountered it, i should've summoned titan or set my ifrit to obey, so lesson learned go with a party.

    I do all my mysterious maps duo.

    That being said, all of them are soloable. The issue is mostly that 'what the hell is this' factor. The Morbol binding, the 20 second petrifications, and the Glorious Bombast are all easily overcome, if you know whats coming.

    I suggest you just get a buddy to do them with you until you've seen all the maps. There really are not that many. And they are not that bad.

    Except for that Bombast. He's totally OP.

    I think players have just gotten so accustomed to overgearing all non-raid content that the first actual i100 open world content is throwing them out of their comfort zones.

    Go in prepared for a fight designed to challenge i50 characters and you will get curbstomped.

    If you go into new content and stupidly use your stuns on cooldown instead of saving them for potentially interruptible attacks, you deserve to be hit by those attacks.

    What's the deal with that one? Had it yesterday as Tank and saw it grows, grows and then is small again and it starts growing again. I stunned it on its way to get bigger but didn't notice any more dmg or something. Does this thingie explodes if it is not stunned or what is it about?

    The person saying Bombast are OP is a little bit biased.
