Eureka's FATE & Elemental EXP

[AlvinOwl]

Hi guys! Feel free to share your experience to help each other during Eureka's FATES and leveling.
If you have any tips to help others during the journey do not hesitate to share it.

If you're following the FATE train, it is recommend that you rotate your magia wheel so that you have the defensive advantage (the shield).

I generally recommend all of my FC members to skip the fate train until level 5. At level 5+ you can get fair to great XP from most fates. Just remember to always stick near the main group, because you're going to die ALOT.

1. Never go alone. Death happens, but you cannot raise yourself. The train doesnt leave bodies behind, but it also might not come get you out in the middle of nowhere.
2. Fates are your exp source and your drop source. Do not worry about exp from additional mobs.
3. Exp from fates are static regardless of level HOWEVER are capped based on your level. IE sabo gives 2-3k exp regardless of your lvl. If you kill pazuzu at lv 1 you will get 2-3k exp. Killing at 20 gets 37k. Therefore, always go after all NM's.
4. Parties are helpful. Especially at lower levels.
5. Dont worry about loot yet. Advancing the story and elemental level is the important part here - this is only beginning of eureka and you'll likely need this section done before accessing next one. You dont want to be stuck in old area with new area out - there wont be a train to help you then!

Grind, Grind & more grind..

SE need to come up with something different, as end game in FFXIV is just 1 huge grind fest patch after patch.

Only thing that changes is the name of the currency to buy end game armour/items/weapons lol.

& this Eureka is just another zerg fest & these NM's is just another name for Fate's.

All i can say is, i'm glad i did not re-sub as i'm using the 4 days free promo & im already bored of the grind, requires no skill or thought just zerg along for countless hours fate after fate...exciting!
