    A8 Farming

    Anyone else tired of it already?

    The never ending wipes, 8 people rolling on 1 item, it's making me not want to even do it anymore :/

    If only. I have work that doesn't leave me with a very good schedule for having a pseudo static.

    This is always everyone's response, but most of us don't have people we can run with.

    On topic, because I like the music to the last phase, I don't mind A8. The other day, I farmed it from about 9pm and didn't get my drop until around 5am, of course with the occasional breaks for food and such.

    Aside from the first day, I've not wiped on A8 once. It's actually a super fun fight and kinda hard to mess up.

    I don't duty finder anything but dungeons, though. If you're in duty finder you should just expect it to be terrible and be pleasantly surprised if it isn't.

    Then make a party finder that states the intent of farming and to know what you're doing. Since you're doing runs with the same people everyone will get what they want quickly. Done this multiple times since patch, might have to wait a bit for it to fill but it's sure better than doing one fight for multiple hours imo. ^^

    Easier said than done, unfortunately. Finding seven other people to get online at the exact same time can be very tricky - especially with conflicting schedules/time zones/interests.

    With that said I generally find that the Duty Finder is generally decent. Yes, I get bad groups - but the majority are generally pretty good. If you're wiping more than once, though, sometimes it's best to just leave and try again.

    The trick is to have more than 7 friends.

    Or just use PF.

    Not hard, just people don't want to bother putting in the effort. Same case with people who complain they can't find a static for Savage - just expect everything to fall into their lap.

    Nobody says it has to be the same seven people every time. I run with a slightly different roster every week.

    It's not a matter of scheduling it, it's just a matter of having an FC and linkshells to ask in.
