A8 Farming

[Vidrian]

A8 is really easy on DF, in the Chaos dataserver. A7, now that is where everyone keeps failing
But i agree, the grind is annoying. on Tuesday you do A5-8, in the next few days u cap lore, and then ure done. In the time needed to lvl 1 char to 60, you can farm enough ego to buy whole sets for 2 alt jobs...

I'd like to see them add the Relic items to 5-8. Have it be the same item that dropped in Gordias so you can combine the two if you want. At least then I'm also making some Relic progression.

okay its probably me but multi-wipe fails of A8 (Midas 4) NORMAL? By the Gods, Savage version I can see but Normal I have out of all the times I've ran it never seen an abandon/multi-wipe for that I've seen maybe 2-3 2nd try clears at worst.... okay over hyping my confusion I'll just chack my lack of seeing this to luck & that I go PLD every time (only fight outa Midas I don't Tank is Midas 3/A7 cause of that damn cat), that & maybe DF on Primal data center in NA's am time has less crappy ppl on.

My condilences on u'r may wipes & lack of good RNG rolls, just please remember Causality is not u'r friend (my term use for RNG since ppl in Reality don't understand using RNG in conversation... that & its tie to cause & effect which I noticed all things seam to follow, even a random number generator)

As soon as I got all 230/220 items I stopped farming Midas flat out and only do A8 for the gear. Raiding in general is boring and extremely repetitive.

Ya doing content is bullcrap, every tuesday i should just log in and have a midan shaft sitting in my mogbox.... this game so unfair!! I spent a whole 10 minutes doing A8N and didn't get rewarded for it.

People still tank swap in A8? I've solo'd it on both my DRK and WAR, it's all about proper buff usage, nothing more. Same for Brawler solo tanking in A6 too.

On Brawler it works only with good DPS.
With 8 Stacks the Tank Buster can Kill you^^
But yeah, it's easy to solo tank both fights

I still think the shaft/spring are a waste honestly. Once I got all the 220's for the other slots (I was in almost all 220-230 by week 4) I have now just started doing A8 for the guaranteed weekly drop for the 230 weapon and I ignore the other floors. Thankfully I think Brute Justice is one of the most awesome fights I've ever seen.

It's the music.

Not necessarily
For my main job, yes they were useless.
But now they are nice for gearing up secondary jobs since I'm still using lore for my main
