    Well, that's the thing, isn't it? What they had the last time around was not fun. It was hours upon hours of Syrcus tower (As nothing gave more than 3 tomes before and it was the best bang for your buck in terms of tome gathering) to the point where i forced myself to keep doing it in the time i had to play because it was a limited time event with no hint that it would return; so i got rarer things that i didn't have out of the assumption that i wouldn't have a chance like that to get it again.
    Then this event comes around again (not two months later) and shows me the only thing that i should have been concerned about not being able to get again was the Namazu earring.

    The only thing I find strange about this is they need to use a different kind of tome from last time. Just have the same tomes, keep it going, let people who need them collect some older rewards. And yeah, when most content gives you 3, 100 tomes for an item is a stretch.

    They are likely cycling the rewards. The change is to prevent stockpiling. Next time they will be Irregular Tomestones of Soldiery with a different Earring, Whistles and Materials. Last month of each patch from now on will likely have an Irregular Tomestone phase from now on.

    I'm gonna use it as a combo to level some classes and get the old rep reward mounts from arr reps since i joined after arr so have not got them done, plus i need one of the 3 hw mounts and two trial mounts.
    Main scenario roulette: 7-10 tomes
    Alliance roulette: 3 tomes

    So that gives me 10-13 tomes a day depending on which main scenario i get, since i have the non rep mounts currently up that means i need 250 tomes total. Doing it this way will get me the rep and trial mounts in 20-25 days.

    On top of that the exp again depending on which main pops will be an average of 2/3 to 1 levels worth of exp per day, so i can level up 2-3 classes assuming it runs for a month in synched 50 content allowing me to use the i400 gear all the way so no gear upgrades needed. Since ast is the only healer i got left and dancer the only ranged dps, i can do those two while earning the tomes then chuck two sets of 70 gear away since i already have 80 sets for both class types.

    I cannot stand the idea of hard grinding for the tomes, but leveling some classes while earning tomes for mounts for about an hour a day will work fine.

    Got 101 tomes today. Castrum farm party gave me 35 in 2.5 hrs. Frontlines got me 50 in 2 hrs (inc queue time) they both seem most efficient way this turn

    I'm just gonna collect them as I do my regular daily roulettes and see what I can get at the end. The only things that interest me are the two birds, and if I really wanted them that badly, I would've started farming the fights for them by now.

    I recreated my main and she doesn't even have prae unlocked...so I'm guessing pvp it is...this will be a struggle but at least I can work towards 2 mounts at once the birds and the 20,000 wolf mark one...

    pvp is def the way to go (if you don't want the same mind numbing thing over and over) At least with pvp each encounter is different. (meaning that they are never 100% the same) different contact/battle situations or if im in a sneaky mood I can ninja around. Either way you get more tomes for a little less time in the end. ( I was getting 5min que's up until about an hour ago so.

    Kinda disapointed the crystal tower raids are the ones giving rewards. As if people need yet another excuse to cheese their ilv to force it to pick those in roulette. They should of added Ivalice to the list since the queues for that are routinely 30m-1hr.
