Thread: Patch 5.2 Notes (Preliminary)

That seems somewhat hindering for some statics, or people that don't have any time to play through the MSQ before Raid and are forced to skip.

I am pretty sure you and the majority will skip the cutsceens anyway. Unless you live and die by the world first, you will be fine.

If people can't be accommodating to others to enjoy obviously fresh new content for one single Tuesday, then I am not going to be surprised to see another "My static broke apart" thread. A static like that doesn't sound healthy to me in the first place.

I actually believe that that last quest is more like a capstone type quest to lead into the final tier in 5.4, and that the quest before would be the one needed to get to savage.

If only Savage would have a week or so delay in subsequent even patches like there are on the .0 patches so players could, oh i don't know, follow along with the story and have time to do things other than rush into savage, that'd be great.

But you don't? To unlock Eden Savage, you just need to Eden Normal, which is unlocked by doing the quest "Away with the Faerie", which only needs you do to the quests for the first set of Eden floors.

Only Ruby weapon needs the first quest of the MSQ done, presumably to explain why Gaius is talking to the Alliance.

The final quest for the next leg of Eden's story requires certain 5.2 MSQ progression as indicated by the "???". Usually, for 8-man raids, it is the last quest in the tier that needs to be completed to unlock savage. Keeping that in mind, RicaRuin came to the conclusion that completing the new MSQ would be required to get to Eden's Verse Savage.
