Hey guys,

guess I'm just kinda stupid or dont read the right threads or just dont get what ppl say, but I'm still feeling lost when it comes up to the mechanics of Diadem.

So on the first day, we queued via df for Diadem easy with 2 ppl and we got a group. Needless to say, we were all not knowing what to do. People mostly just died or gathered and so on but we finished our quests and it was kinda okay.

So then my gf and I went for Diadem normal via our own FC airship today and we found the aether spots to be able to fly and she gathered a bit. Then we found some groups (guess there were 3) of ppl fighting some mobs and we joined in fighting. Out of 10 mobs we only got rewarded for 3. Okay, fair, on 2 of them we joined in when there were down at like 80%.
But even if we did full dps (blm and bard) from the beginning we mostly ended with nothing.

So how exactly does the system work?
Is it based on raw dps data per person? Or do we have to be in a full group to be able to get something out of most all mobs?
If so, why is it even possible to go there with 2 people?

Dont get me wrong, we dont want to farm any i210 pieces or something, we just want some fun and get some rewards for that, as small as they may be.

Thanks!
