    About new MSQ Roulette reward

    I got matched to Castrum Meridianum, with more than half of party as sprouts. All cutscenes are unskippable, text dialogues are also not clickable, they are forced to auto-advance mode.

    Anyway as a lv 67 class I got 2.2m exp reward from roulette, with 250k x2 from clearing mobs and boss, that works out to around 30% of the exp bar at that level.

    Clear time was around 30 minutes, so the whole thing seems average so far. If there's no vets running MSQ roulette then those sprouts can make a party to clear fine anyway, if not having more fun than the usual speedrun.

    Feel free to share your findings if you have tried the new MSQ roulette.

    totally not worth , the only way to make veterans run it is to give 1/3 , or 1/2 of the weekly tomestones .
    200 poetics can be obtained by running 2X primals on pf with bonus

    If I was still levelling I would probably do it because that is a pretty decent chunk of exp for a 30 min run. That said, with everything levelled, the poetics really aren't enough to have me bother. Then again that isn't any different for me than it was before so I suppose that isn't a real change.

    I'll call that a positive.

    So essentially its nowhere near as bad as the community were trying to make it out to be.
    You probably get less xp from alliance roulette that takes more time than story roulette.
    Rewards for tomes were always crap so people can stop trying to use that excuse.
    So all in all possibly once everyone has finished catching up on the new patch the MS roulette numbers will be similar or higher than before.

    Preatorium has a lot longer cutscences than Castrum, which was never going to be too much of an issue.

    Auto text scroll? But, what about all the slow readers? (I'm a fast reader)

    Uh, no. You get upwards of four million EXP last I checked for the same level OP cited. That's nearly double, and I can actively participate in Alliance Roulette. For MSQ, I basically AFK and make lunch. Crystal Tower also goes insanely fast now, provided you have a decent group. This only really benefits people farming poetics for relics. Now this is all fine for newbies, but odds are very high veterans aren't going to touch MSQ anymore.

    If the sprouts can form a party by themselves it's great.
    As for time-reward count that was Castrum, Praetorium should be at least double the run time since it's a load more cinematics.
