    'A Raid Reborn' - LS for teaching/clearing Coils at L.50 sync / Min iLevel!



    It's a real shame that some of FFXIV's finest examples of raid/trial content have been long-forgotten with the rush to clear friends through unsynced. Coil, with a few turn exceptions for glamour's sake, appears to have been left in the dust despite holding some of the game's arguably most interesting mechanics: T1's alternating Silences, T2's 'Hot Potato' game, T11's clock rotation, etc.

    Thus, 'A Raid Reborn'! A Linkshell dedicated to teaching/clearing Coil T1-13 at L.50 synced - as close as possible to challenging the fights as originally intended without needing to take 3 hours just to teach one fight. New players can experience Coil 'the real way' (no cheesing or carrying here), and old players can revisit some of the best-designed battles in FFXIV!

    Then, when players are friendly and familiar with the fights - attempt to clear the Coils at minimum iLevel! A true test for all players involved, new and experienced!

    For so many players, this would be a fantastic opportunity on many fronts:
    • Raiders who've joined us post-Coil, who want to go back and challenge themselves on the 'Golden Oldies' raid content that all the veteran players ramble about so much.
    • Veteran players who want an opportunity to relive the content the way it was intended. No cheesing, no washovers - learn Divebombs or riot. ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
    • Completionists who want to tick off achievements or pick up glamour gear.
    • Doing your relics? Poetics bonus hypeeeeeeeee!
    • And last but not least, minimum iLevel runs greatly increase the drop rate of 'Faded Scrolls' for some of the most desired tracks in the game. For example, on Cerberus, a faded copy of 'From the Ashes' (T12's music) goes for roughly 2 million a pop. You can expect multiple copies to drop per run.

    In its first day, the ARR LS is up and running, with over 30 members at time of writing, and we have successfully taken a brand-new group through T1-5 synced! Everyone that went along had a blast learning and enjoying the fights unrushed and at a solid pace - and are eager to re-challenge it at minimum iLevel very soon! Those teaching the fights were particularly well-praised for their enthusiastic and detailed explanations, and the atmosphere in the party was 110% energetic, enjoyable and eager to learn/clear.

    We've also thrown up a Discord for ARR to use for voicechat in fights and for simply chilling out and meeting with everyone else out-of-game using text and/or voice.
    You can download the app for free/access our server here: https://discord.gg/0x4lsr5lgScpeW8R - feel free to ask any Qs about it!

    We'd love to bring new members into the fold and join us!
    If interested, feel free to reply here, or message E'tykiet Tia, Fay Yuzuriha or Rintinbin Lore in-game for an LS invite!

    Thanks for reading! ♪
