So, how is Pagos?

[Alucard135]

Chimeras in the back of Louhi's cave give decent light as well though good luck convincing anyone to do them considering they're a huge pain the rear getting the group to properly do ram's/dragon's voice not to mention hard to get to at night.

That's the funny thing. People think they're hard to kill while in fact they're pretty easy to kill. They don't have Dragon/Ram voice and you only have to worry about frontal AOEs. The only problem is when the Val Corpses spawn, which becomes a problem when you get aggro from them. Other than that, Chimeras are pretty easy to kill and can give an amount of light similar to what you get from killing Louhi from a single kill if you're lucky.

The Pagos Chimera do not use Ram Voice or Dragon Voice.

Unfortunately that isn't consistent at all. I actually had a group attempt to do the Chimeras. We did an entire 30 chain without anyone in the group getting a single light.

I just finished my first relic for WAR and honestly this had to be the most lack luster, un-fun content to date. Normally when I get a relic step done I'm like, "whoo finally I'm done. Now on to that DRK relic" but in Pagos I just felt exhausted and empty because it felt like I didn't earn any of that and whats more the story reflects it. Just do this, get me this, then leave me alone is literally what Krile and Gerolt can be summed up as. The RNG is what destroyed any chance of me returning for another relic, until the buff the heck out of the drops, because I can't be bothered to do "casual content" that has no disregard for my time and health.

Haven't been to Pagos in a while, challenge log in Anemos on Tuesdays then maybe one evening in Pagos is my usual plan.

Slowly getting to 35 and maybe grab one relic then wait for it be nerfed into the ground.

Haven’t felt so relieved to be done dealing with something in this game as I was finishing second elemental weapon in Pagos. It should be more of a cause for celebration and less an exasperated sigh of relief to finish a relic.

Doing mundane things such as roulettes and hunts (stuff I’ve done for years) is far more fun and relaxing than Pagos.

I will just copy paste what I say in FC chat
[15:00][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> Pagos in special I dont like what they did
[15:00][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> the design of the map, plus aetheryte lvl attune, lvl to use mount
[15:00][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> heavy grind for the relic
[15:02][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> Anemos at least the fate spawn exaclty where the train are
[15:02][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> Pagos no, Pagos the fate could spawn in the opposite loc of the train and people who are under 29 is busted due to the attune lvl
[15:03][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> and fates are most useful to these non-35 people
[15:06][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> I hope so, because even me who was ok with Anemos think Pagos was terrible
[15:08][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> Eureka system himself I think is ok, but how Pagos was made was terrible
[15:08][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> I'm under impression they ignore all criticism about Anemos and make it worse
[15:09][FC]<Seiji Kyoshiro> if they make fates more easy to spawn and put levequests, Eureka could be nice

This translate what I think about Pagos ):

Light, as a whole, is far too inconsistently obtained. Maybe this has to do with what SE says, that people still haven't found the best way to farm light. Too bad for us, we can't even consistently get feeble lights.

Sorry, SE, but most of us aren't about to sell our souls to a malevolent force just to make rng give us light consistently. If that's your game then you can forget it.

Well the whole thing is just a mess going to get 10 more crystals for second relic and not return till something changes. 32 haunts give blind lights not to mention the ones I got three times in a row solo then flat out nothing for the rest of the night. Which rules out "Light Bonus Windows". 34 haunts give feeble (Of course when not adapting/same with adapting but a lesser feeble light). This mob right here is already telling something is off when a lower lvl mob gives more light than its higher counter part. Dragons is still the best "consistent" way to farm light even though only two parties can effectively farm that so that makes a nice environment for a community to work together. /s

Farming enough crystals for about 5-6 weapons in anemos and catching all the serket and simurgh fates I could still didn't get their items till pagos nearly got released. So translating that into speed belt and cassie earring on nms that are not up as frequent, I am not holding my breath. O hat isn't as bad can at least sell the extra eyes you get for the ones you need.

After playing around and even using the good old nexus/anima light windows to see if something changed nothing ever did. Sometimes you just get 5 mutations on ice sprites back to back, or lights back to back for literally 3 mobs then its gone. All it comes down to is se idea of "fun" grinding and rng.
