Prepare for....

Ya. Harder than ex primals but easier the scob savage? Uhm that's what coil was. Not exactly sure how they figure that's story mode lol. There are still people stuck on turn 5 and alot more on turn 9. The people that wanted to just experience the story still won't be able to. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Seriously --- doesn't sound any different from Coil, which will in fact disappoint/surprise some people. Coil isn't ridiculous, but it _does_ require either a static or lots and lots of time in PF. Those without significant time to burn won't be able to complete it, same as with Coil.

But old statements from devs (or even current statements) are not always accurate about actual difficulty (didn't they say Heavensward overworld mobs would be more difficult than ARR? And thats only true if more HP = difficult). We'll find out soon enough.

Basically if you do all of Alexander every week, you can get 1 piece of armor and 1 accessory. If you forgo the accessory every week, you can get an extra piece of armor after 4 weeks (meaning you can get Head, Chest, Hands, Legs and Feet in 4 weeks but no accessories).

How is pre-emptively smug posting even a thing? "I bet people in the future will complain about this thing, but not me, I'm the best (in the future)"

He's already beaten it, obviously. Only loser scrubs wait for the patch to come out first. Come on. Get on his level.

i dont completely get this
so its like if turn 1 to 5 drops one token each and if you clear them all its one body piece + accesory?

so is there a reaosn to run it more than once a week?

Well it says tokens come from the treasure coffers so odds are there wont be 8 tokens in there. So even statics will have to clear every turn multiple times every week for everyone to get their tokens. Hopefully theres more than 1 token per chest or else thats 8 runs a week for a static or potentially far more runs if you're puging it.

Judging by how the upgrades currently work via Hunt Gear...

Belt & Accessories = 1 Each
Feet, Head, Hands = 2-3 Each (Would prefer 2 on this one but who knows how SE plans to do it)
Body/Legs = 4 Each?

If they do 2 for Feet/Head/Hands, your ideal upgrade path is going to be doing your Feet/Head Week 1, Hands/Earring/Necklace week 2, Then body Week 3, Legs week 4. Then your last two slots week 5.

If they do 3 for Feet/Head/Hands, your ideal upgrade path is going to be doing your Body Week 1, Legs week 2, then choosing between upgrading all your accessories week 3 (4), or doing One Accessory + One left-side every week.

It's going to be an interesting balance game to be sure...

I pray it's a case of being like the EX Primal totems and /everyone/ gets a totem for clearing the turn. Making it any other way is just asking for massive amounts of frustration. How many farm parties actually go for 8+ runs? I find it difficult to find people who stick around after they get theirs, and at that point, you're better off just doing DF.
