    Castrum farming seems intended as a form of preparation for future parts of the relic quest and/or for the solo fights between the augmented armor and fragments with actions that are strict upgrades over the usual ones.

    Considering that you couldn't skip any of the zones of Eureka if you were trying to finish the relic, I seriously doubt they're going to let people get away with it here, either.

    I'm sure you'll need to be max level before proceeding with the next relic update. That's not to say that they won't provide a way of upgrading the relic outside of the zone.

    I expect you'll need rank 10 to progress in Bozja's next stage and carry on with the relic grind within Bozja.
    But the outside stage will probably just be SB FATEs and not require anything from Bozja still.

    Nah. Castrum is mostly for people that are aiming for the 48 version of the next dungeon. That one's also going to have a 24m version for players to finish the questline (I remember something about being at DF). I also understood that we are not going to get a new area.

    Pretty much all you need to do is reach rank 10 and do Castrum once.

    But Eureka also had not other option to farm the relic either and the "dungeon" at the end of Eureka was the last one, so that one also never restricted anyone that wanted a relic.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    I've had a blast with Bozja so far. It's by no means perfect but easily their best iteration of "FATEs"; specifically Critical Engagements. If they made FATES more akin to those earlier, I think they'd have a much better reputation than they do nowadays. With that said, I'll likely be echoing similar complaints others have.
    • Having the relic "grind" be not only guaranteed drops in dull HW FATES but the far more efficient alternative is ridiculous. Even if they were on par, that'd be something. Instead, it almost feels like a punishment. While I know you have multiple objectives with Bozja as someone with max level jobs, my other side benefit is relic farming.
    • The rewards for Castrum are painfully low. A Haste boost with a 999 coin is not only absurd but isn't going to motivate people to keep bothering with Castrum. There needs to be a heavier incentive or we'll eventually see people locked out when Bozja dies down.
    • Mobs should drop their aggro once you reach a base camp. At the very least the lower leveled ones (1-3). Several times I've missed a Skirmish because I've had to run a mile since the stupid doblyn still keeps coming.

    Imo instead of FATEs I think Hunts should use the CE system.

    Rank 7 and I'm bored already. Mindless fate grinding while watching netflix. Why are gaming companies afraid to make engaging content anymore? Things like Eureka and Bozja seem like the perfect place to experiment with some other systems because they can contain anything you gain there to that content and not worry about imbalancing things for savage. I heard castrum is fun, but getting into it sounds like a pain. Since were on the frontlines, it would have been cool if there was more a purpose to these battles. Instead of random fates, have points on the map we have to take and hold to push the imperials back. Then imperials would counterattack to take them back etc.

    Mobs should drop their aggro once you reach a base camp.
    That was annoying when I started. I was trying to talk to the NPC at base camp the first time I entered and kept getting kicked out of the dialog because I get hit by an AOE from a mob that ran into the base camp.

    Increase the registration timer for CLL already. 1 minute is completely idiotic. It should be increased to 10 minutes, so people have time to finish any active CE. I recently had Castrum pop, and I and only like 7 or so other people registered because everyone else was stuck in a low level CE. Needless to say, that run didn't go anywhere.
