    LFG For Rathalos and EX Rathalos

    Hi there, sprout player here. Just unlocked and did Rathalos for the first time and unlocked EX Rathalos and I really want the armor. So was hoping to find maybe a CWLS or something to do Rathalos and EX Rathalos. I'm a shift worker so my hours are a bit wonky but I'm on when i can be.

    I am on the Aether Data center. Just using the Que isnt that much of a help since even as a tank class i'm waiting over 20 minutes for base and I dunno for EX Rathalos. Also if possible a group for EX Shinryu because I really love those weapons but have no reasonable way of buying them off the marketplace since most of them are over a million gil and I have no steady way of earning income since i'm mostly playing DoW / DoM right now.

    For Rathalos Ex, your best bet is to just go ahead and get to level 80 /finish main story, and then put a Party Finder up for it. Get a small group going. It's actually soloable unsynced by jobs with low GCDs, but quite easily duoed at 80 and you still get scales and all of the drops, so it's in your best interest to go ahead and get up to 80 to make the farm fast. You'll need a lot of scales and Ex is the best way to get them, and the only way to get the dyeable versions of the armors.

    Yeah, thats what i did. I qued into the story mode version once and cleared the fight. Then at 80 i formed groups with other people who wanted the mount via the party finder. Always tried to stay together at least 5-10 runs per group, and after a few nights of work i had my mount. Vyrerus is also right about the fight being soloable for some jobs at level 80. You need enough burst to drop the garula before rathalos torches the place, you need your dodges to be on point so you can use your potions just for unavoidable attacks, you need to be fairly fast/hard hitting to get through the down timer in a reasonable fashion, and you may need to die a few times for echo stacks. Or you could grab 1-3 friends(or strangers via party finder) and finish the fight in 3-4 minutes with much lower requirements(basically know somewhat how to play your class, be ok at dodging, be decently geared for level 80, and dont die a lot).
