Thread: 5.2 Raid prep?

Some people were saying you need to do a raid or some ultima thing to be able to do the new one coming in 5.2, was that the ones with Alpha? Or is it something else?

If you want to do the relic, you will need to have completed the Return to Ivalice questline.

If you want to do the Eden raids, you will need to have completed the 5.0 tier (normal mode only).

If you want to do the alliance raid in 5.3, you will need to have finished The Copied Factory and the associated questline.

Oh! You're the go to person for healer questions lol, I've always wanted to meet you. Hi! Also, which one do I do for the one where we all teleported to Cid's resuce? Oh and the one with the giant ugly creature?

Okay! I see all of them now. Thank you! Only one I haven't finished is Return to Ivalice. Thank you very much! And please keep up the healing! You give healers a good name!

...Thank you for the kind words; not often found here on the OF. Assuming by "giant ugly creature" you mean Ruby weapon - that's hard to say. SE's tried to take primals out of the Main Story Quests so people don't rush MSQ just to do them. It will probably be a sidequest with the blue-colored quest icon, but we'll need the preliminary patchnotes before we know for sure. We might get those preliminary notes sometime in the next week or so.

And, same deal for Cid's thing. We know how the raids work because it's the usual pattern, and the relic was discussed in the live letter, but the other stuff is more unknown.

When the preliminary patch notes do come out, someone always puts together a guide on where to go for new content, what needs to be unlocked, and so on. So when that happens, I would recommend heading over to the FFXIV reddit and looking for that guide post (It will probably be called something like "5.2 unlock guide" or "5.2 new content guide").

Good luck with the Ivalice raids. Some can be a little harsh if too many people are netflix'ing through it. I also can't wait for the new patch.

Thank you very much for all the advice and info!
