There should be other ways to obtain the Field notes.

Look this is no different than trying to get a EX mount earlier than intended. They will make it easier down the line to get this. Don't burn yourselves out over this to have it NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW.

There is one big difference. With EX mount, with a team, you can retry it as soon as you finish one. here you have to wait for 1h cooldown + the time for people to spawn it. in average, that around 1h and an half. (At least for 12/14, which are the one most complained about). keeping that drop rate with the thing spawning more often would please a lot of people. You're right, it's like extreme mount farm... With a 1h30 timer, where you have to stay in bozja or else you might miss it. Bozja that doesn't give you anything worthy during the wait.

The stickler to the mount from Bazja is that it has all the baggage of an RNG system attached to it without any kind of pity system or grind system in place to assure after X amount of time is spent, you get the item. Personally, I'm not a fan of gacha games, but the one thing that I did like from Genshin Impact was the pity system where after X number of random rolls, you were 100% assured to get a 5 star character or item. Unfortunately, a pity system probably wouldn't work for Bazja since once it goes into being legacy content there wont be enough people running it to hit the pity on a good clip. The only option would be to sell the field records via the clusters (which probably should have been done from the start).

The likely reason we haven't seen them sell the field records for the clusters is that they wanted to try adding more hardcore elements to the bazja system by making the harder to get records attached to duels. So effectively it's really more a "savage" mount than a mount that the everyday player can get. Considering what people usually say about duels it's not surprising people are complaining about the drop rates.

Anyway, here is what I recommend doing in the meantime to make this easier of a grind:

1) Play tank and use the spirit of the martialist to farm Zadnor first until you either get all the records from it or max merits. The martialist damage boosts are the easiest to get boosts and if you play a warrior or paladin, you have enough sustain and defense to survive the fate grinding and CEs.

2) Go back to Southern Front and farm for any that you didn't get the first round. At this point you should have 10 HP merits, 10 DPS merits, and 2-5+ healing merits. That should give enough survivability to use budget fragments for the fates, and for leon you have to do castrum anyway so you'll get more "of the beast" and "of the blood sucker" boosts from the superstition fragments.

Avoid buying the Superstition Frags from the market board, they are probably 100k a piece at this point and not worth the gil being spent.

Just spent over 2hrs waiting for FAF/Steel chain because it kept getting pushed back. The amount of just waiting for things is absolutely infuriating.

Edit: MY TIMER RAN OUT BEFORE IT POPPED. THE CEs STARTED TO CYCLE FROM THE LOWER ONES AGAIN. WHY? WHO DESIGNS THINGS LIKE THIS. HOW CAN ANYONE SIT THERE AND THINK THAT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. WHO GREEN LIGHTS THIS GARBAGE?

The same guy who designed erueka, now u know why. One of the old mmo players from the “f good old time”. Whose thoughts stay back in 2000s.

As mentioned in another post. ( Some reason i lost permission to add this)

They could use coins ans/or clusters to have in a increase drop rate buff for it. Or have a option is you have a set number of old notes and exchange them

[juicybug]

I just gave up honestly. I hate this map, I hate the cluster farmers who are blocking the fate. So, I bow out.
A "free" two seater isn't worth me losing interest in a game bc RNG in a terrible map that rewards nothing. I've tried the duel, can't do it thanks to ping and internet issues.

to those who suggest it'll get easier or they'll up the drop rates much later (with fingers crossed 5.57 tomorrow) I appreciate the sentiment to not burn yourself out but if you don't do this before next expac good freaking luck. Especially for any of the notes locked in Castrum, DR, or Dalriada as even scaled and nerfed I don't see getting through CE's easily solo if at all or doing any of the duels once the zones are more dead then not.

[KageTokage]

I feel like Dalriada is the only issue when it comes to low-manning Bozja content as the electric floor after the first boss will quickly kill you even with the bloated HP pools from the echo buffs, which basically requires that you have at least six people to clear the instance.

The CEs can easily be solo'd as the echo buff will boost your HP/damage by around 400%, which when coupled with Beast/Bloodsucker for lifesteal makes you virtually immortal.

Castrum needs a group too, even if small. But the problem is the drop rate of the notes. If they don't increase it or give us any other means to complete the collection, for me there is no point in wasting months of time running Castrum and Dalriada over and over for nothing, same as others are feeling with some skirmishes/CEs.

Well, it looks like they at least addressed the difficulty of getting the notes for Dyunbu as they now drop from all of her associated FATEs, not just the last one.

I find it odd that they didn't actually fix some other things like the wacky northern FATE scaling in Zadnor or Menenius' forced march debuff glitching out, though it could just be that this update was on the backburner for a while already and they didn't have time to sneak in fixes for everything.

The DR change is a welcome one, but...

The following adjustments have been made to the Bozjan southern front:

Field Notes on Dyunbu have been added to the possible rewards for completion of the skirmishes "Brought to Heal" and "No Camping Allowed."

Treasure chests that appear after freeing hostages during the critical engagement "The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore" will now yield more forgotten fragments.

The amount of mettle earned for completion of the critical engagement "The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore" has been increased.

That's it? Seriously? lol
