Is it possible to start Pagos now?

[ToniRomo]

I decided to check it out after reading the train is back. I am level 20. When I enter and ask for a group no one invites. No one joins if I try to make one. It seems like everyone is lv30+ at this point.

If a NM pops it is always too far away for me to make it in time since I don't have a mount and the map is so big. Everything hits really hard so soloing isn't viable.

Over the last few days I tried to give the content a chance, but ended up logging out after 20 minutes and playing another game.

To be honest, I am slowly giving up on Pagos. I’m 27 in there and with only 2 hours of playtime a night, I just cant spend it in all in Pagos because of the horribly long and slow ramp up. I need to do other things besides Pagos so that only gives me, at best two nights a week to try. Between those two night, I *may* get the challenge log done.

I agree with you that what they call the train is not the train from Anemos, it’s jist a bunch of level 30+ people who are willing to wait an hour for something to spawn and then burn it down in less than a minute.

With patch 4.4 only two weeks away, I am going to let Pagos and the relic probably go unless something major is done.

If your not 30+ by now, Pagos is going to be hurtfully hard at this point. Best of luck

After finishing with Pagos and returning to the main game, I was suddenly having a lot more fun. I suspect I'm not alone if the conditions you're describing are becoming the norm.

Yes, I just leveled to 35 a couple days ago from 20. It was a slog though. Before level 30, NMs give a large amount of EXP, so those levels go by quick. Once you get to 30+ and get the crystal by Arthro it gets less annoying.

My suggestion to fencesitters if they really don't want to do it, do the challenge log every week so if they release Logos and it has something cool that you want you aren't still level 20 and have to grind two zones. By the time they release Logos you should be near max level even if you just do the log every week. The Log scales and gives about a level and a bit even if you just go back to Anemos and kill easy stuff.

Check PF for chain groups if you want to level using those. Most of the players in there are now 35 so finding a group while inside is tough. Trains are hit and miss - depends how lazy the instance is. Sometimes no one is doing anything at all, other times there are a lot of people. If you want to train do it around prime time EST/PST on NA servers. Weekends are good around afternoon and later. As far as I could tell, early morning is usually dead except light farm groups.

I really wish they would stop adding leveling systems to side content.

It doesn't make any sense and it just makes things even more annoying. It's like they don't know how to design content without either taking away abilities, gear, levels, or all three.

What are you talking about it makes total sense based on the story line. It can be a bit of hassle, welcome to MMO's, yes, however gives us something to do for those who are into relics and have maxed everything else -.- besides it's not that hard, simple mechanics, gear and abilities are not taking away they just added a elemental weakness and defense wheel. They took away fate trains why? do to people complaining it was not fair -.-. Challenge books was updated and duo in is a nice alternative to quick xp while you wait for Fates. To some is annoying, normally do to lack of common sense that that in the old days there was an xp penalty for most MMO's. Hell some still have it. the game is too easy as it is anyways-.-/. Besides people can duo , can get decent xp. and just people for fates then others leave simple.

If you're starting now and no life it you should have enough time to get a single relic by the time 4.4 drops. If that doesn't sound appealing to you i'd honestly just say forget it and wait until Pagos gets nerfed into the ground.

[Derio]

I am lvl 23 and starting is very hard. I already have a 370 weapon. Pagos is very boring though. Daily I look to see if there are any low level groups in PF, but for the most part there are not.


I got fed up and am just going to get the tomestone weapon and wait until Pagos gets nerfed into the dirt and go back and get the weapon for glamour. Honestly SB has rubbed me the wrong way from story, to spreading out content to the relic being put behind this crap piece of content they call Eureka.

Its possible to start Pagos. But its not fun and it will take a considerable amount of time, time that could be spent elsewhere or on another game.

[Deceptus]

Possible? Yes. Efficient, no. Good luck doing your challenge log each week and that's it.

If someone really wants to delve into it, they can do much more than just challenge log. As long as you know to focus light, when you hit ele 25, the relic grind will go much quicker. Start a PF for your level at 25+. You will likely still hit ele 35 and have way more than 500 crystals before finishing your light. I cannot speak to how it looks if you focus hitting ele 35, but maybe Vaer can give you an idea.

You can ride the train, if there is one. However, things will take much longer, and you will have to grind light anyway. You will also be removing light grinding locations away from yourself, since you out-leveled them. The only advantages to the train exp push are logistical. For some people, they are the advantages that they feel they need. So that depends on the person.
