I just know that I'm not grinding something RNG dependent like an Ex primal, please god no.

    More furniture! Now that everyone has access to some form of housing, how could anyone be against more furniture? I have a collection of miniature figures and I'd love to add coerlregina and proto ultima to that, that would be amazing!
    Just to check, you are aware that HW ex primals drop tokens which can be used to buy birds now, right?

    I am! I meant that I wouldn't want to grind something that spawns based on RNG - see coerlregina - in the same manner as a primal which I can queue for. Coerlregina I STILL have not cleared for the first time because it requires

    a) Being awake for the full 8-12 hour time window from seeing FATE #1, unless you're lucky,
    b) All three fates actually succeeding, when I have been there for many three-person failures at FATE #2

    I can't count how many times I've ground out FATE 1 and 2 with desperate calls for help, only for fate 3 to spawn while I was in bed no matter how hard I tried to stay up. Or the number of times /shout, screeching in linkshells and asking friends hasn't been enough to succeed at #2. (I would have succeeded at the 3-man attempt except you don't have anywhere near enough time, alas).

    EDIT - this also assumes that you're in the area when they spawn and can get there on time with enough people, a problem more common to proto ultima than coerlregina, but still present in any sub-max area after like 1month of launch.

    With Ex primals, the only thing stopping you finishing is other people being bad, which with raid finder is less common than it used to be, and is ALSO a problem with fates - some poor lv54 mnk with their chocobo still in lv50 gear isn't gonna do jack shit against coerlregina, but they'll up the fate difficulty for sure.

    Only the FATEs. A and S ranks will always have the same amount of HP.
