I am totally confused on these. I did one with a pick up group and was highly disappointed.
There are like whole linkshells spamming the hell out of this worthless battle. Why not freaking spam dungeons and get gear that is actually worth your time?


I only gathered two key pieces of valuable information on my one run and win: 1. black mages are pointless and you will run out of mp a lot 2. the drops are junk and you'd be better off wasting your time building one of the seven wonders out of legos (at least you'd have a sense of accomplishment)

So what is the point of these skirmishes? What am I not getting?
