How do i get Bahamut gear when no one ever runs its raid anymore?

[whodis]

Am i screwed forever because i got into FFXIV too late?

Is there no way to get bahamut outside the raid?

A lot of people are doing it unsynced, go check the Party Finder rather than the Duty Finder. Also, there are craftable Replicas of the Gear that are also dyable (the drops from Bahamut itself are not.)

For example, I'll run Bahamut on Chaos unsync the next days to get some mats.

There's an undersize party DF option which allows you to do duties with fewer party members and no level sync. I managed to solo Final Coil T3 and T4 as a warrior yesterday so certain ones can be done without any help and it will only get easier when level cap goes up to 80 this year. I think there are still some Coil fights with mechanics that need a party, but when gear gets high enough you might be able to skip phases like that entirely with enough dps.

I tried to use Party Finder but to no avail. Still couldn't find any groups doing Bahamut. Been checking for 3 days now :/

Make your own PF, say Bahamut 1-12 Clear with Bonus (people will join for the bonus tomestones) and make use of the undersized option to enter the Raid with higher levels. Always works.

If you still need help monday evening, send me a tell in-game.

Well that's another problem. I don't know how to start a party in Party Finder, and even if i did and it filled up, i still don't know how to queue up for Bahamut raid.

I appreciate the "help" but the "Active Help" still doesn't tell me how to start the Bahamut raid once i have a full party...

I would have loved if you could have explained it instead of leading me to nothing.

If you have unlocked the raids, you will then need to go to the Duty Finder interface after gathering people into your party.

First, click on the cogwheel at the top of the window so that you can open the Duty Finder Settings. Search for the checkbox next to the “Undersized Party” option. This will allow you to queue into the raid unsynced (e.g., at your current level—which appears to be level 57, according to your Forum profile—as opposed to level 50, which is what the content was designed for).

Secondly, Find the first “Raids” tab to search for your duties. Scroll down to where you will see “Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn X”, “Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn X”, or “Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn X”. Select the Turn you want to do, and then hit the button to queue.

You have now queued into a Raid.


You queue into Coil just like you would a regular dungeon or trial. You don’t have to do anything fancy other than selecting the undersized option. Most players do not want to do Coil synced to level 50 anymore, as the jobs no longer function the way they did back when the content was relevant, and this content was meant to be the equivalent of Savage back then (so it will not be easy content to tackle at level 50).

You have to go and poke Urianger in the Waking Sands. He starts the quests and you have to be done with the Praetorium.
