Garo MGP Vendor?

[axemtitanium]

Wait, what? There are 13 Jobs, though.

Check the vendor. MNK, casters, ranged, and healers have a male and female version for each, but PLD, WAR, DRK, DRG, and NIN have their own non-gender-locked sets. So you'll need to buy 9 sets (126k), but all 13 weapons (52k) = 178k wolf marks, not 234k as some others have reported.

Seriously though, PvP in FFXIV isn't that bad if we compare it to other games. Is there toxicity? Of course, but it's definitely not as rampant as, say, League of Legends or F2P MMOs. I hated PvP before I started doing Frontline for the daily roulette (gotta get those tomes) a few weeks ago and now I actually enjoy it. I haven't tried Feast yet and I heard things can be a little more heated over there, but they shouldn't be too much on unranked matches and since the achievement doesn't ask us to do ranked matches, I'll be doing unranked. So at least give it a go? Just have to be patient and understand that you will get awful parties and you will lose. There's no escape from either of those things when you're playing with randoms.

Besides, for y'all minion collectors, the cheerleader minion can only be acquired from the Wolve's Den materia vendor (15k marks). And if anything, this Garo set is iLvl 235. I'm wondering if it'd be better to use that instead of the Hailstorm set until I can get something better...

Greetings, adventurers!

The GARO collaboration gear was implemented as PvP equipment, and as such we've made it so that it can first be obtained through PvP. However, in Patch 3.55 we will add the undyeable version of this gear, which will be obtainable in exchange for MGP. If you're interested in this gear ahead of time, we encourage you to try out the PvP content!

We apologize for any confusion regarding how to obtain the gear.

I hope you're all enjoying this event as much as I have been so far!

Any chance of a confirmation about the time period that the gear will be available. I see no reason why the PVP versions should be limited.

None of the gear goes into the armoire, right? Then it must not be a limited time event? I was kind of thinking this was like the ilevel 160 gear from Tactics Orge. They've got a new artist, and they are celebrating his involvement by putting his favorite designs in the game.

Why don't just do PvP? I've seen a lot of suicidals running into the opposition side to get killed, to end the match in 2 minutes. They probably put some rubber band on their analog stick to do so.

Loving the PVP surge. My queues went from 10+ hours (not even kidding) to 10-20 minutes, and I can fill up on 8v8 Feast much faster if I want as that has almost instant queues (it was dead a week ago). I don't really like 8v8 Feast but it certainly beats standing in Limsa looking at the marketboard and waiting; maybe I'll actually get more skilled again now I can play more than two games per week.

It would be great to know the plan for the event though; if the titles are staying PVP-exclusive I need to start levelling my unloved melee jobs since I can't actually equip some of the new gear yet. So it would be nice to know if I should be prioritising that instead of just wallowing in the tempory PVP revival. I even saw Seal Rock again the other day. I'd missed it!

It's a shame that they don't offer an alternative method to get the dyeable version. There are going to be others like me, who have no idea what to do or how, with a life expectancy of twelve seconds, just waiting for every single death (we're bait), taking a spot in the battle from someone who might genuinely care about pvp.

And once I have the pieces I want, I'll happily drop pvp again, because it's not fun. It's an incredible bore.

It might be less boring if you looked up how it works. >_>

For what it's worth, there aren't enough people who genuinely care about PvP to keep things populated and running smoothly. That's precisely why they've connected to this event to PvP and (as we can see from some of the comments in this thread) it's working very well to help correct that.

You are lucky to get an alternative at all. The devs chose this as pvp content, and that is something they are well within their right to do. Should I demand an alternate method to get the archon chair because I don't like the gold saucer? You can do the entire event on frontlines and feast 8vs8, which A) means you have no obligation to be good as there is no large detriment to losing, and B) You can learn how to PVP in a good environment to do so, because for once the queues aren't impossible to get through (you know... because there is no alternative, so lots of people are doing pvp). Or if you really hate pvp that much, then there are other gear sets and mounts in the game calling for your attention
