Lyon Field Notes in CLL

[Waffles298]

been trying to get the Lyon Field Notes from the Southern Front. i’ve tried getting into the Lyon Duel but to be quite honest i always end up getting a vuln stack in it’s associated Skirmish, and end up not qualifying.

i know it was added as a potential drop from CLL, but i’ve done several runs now and i’m not entirely convinced it even exists as a drop, or if it does exist as a drop that gating what is effectively collectable lore bits behind such an absurdly low drop rate that requires a lot of uncontrollable circumstance.

the only thing i really need from CLL is the Lyon Notes, so every run i do that ends up not dropping it is effectively time wasted finishing my relics.

i really feel like they need to increase the drop rate on older area field notes.

its a 5 star note its gonna be rare unless you do the duel
Red Chocobo is a problem but you can take reflect and lost swift to make the fight much easier

i don’t really understand what being a 5 star has to do with this, it’s lore. it’s not like it’s a playing card or some other thing that can be used in other content. it’s just...lore. and even if i were to succeed at no hitting red choctober i’d still have to get into the Duel, and if i were lucky enough to get into the duel i would still need to be fortunate to win it. this on top of actually being in an instance that has the necesary fate spawn while i’m in there, and that i get into the fate.

all of this to get...lore. not to mention i have a pile of bozjan coins from the southern front that aren’t serving any purpose because i don’t really need the southern front gear.

[Duskane]

well its not just for lore you also get a bike for getting all of them which is reason why most people are gathering field notes atm,
I don't think you can get "Fortunate" with duels you need preparation and correct set up to beat them especially Lyon.

the Stars on the cards determined the rarity Lyon is 5 star so his notes either require a lucky drop or win the duel which requires effort and it can drop from Castrum it took me 47 castrums but it dropped for me.

[Waffles298]

you have a point, i guess i’m just frustrated because having farmed each of the resistance weapons through to the pre-5.55 step months before patch day, i don’t really stand to gain much running CLL, and i know i’m not that skilled of a player to not get vuln stacks in CE’s, let alone do a Duel. :/

Buy and sell augments. Easy cash.

The Red Chocobo Critical is pretty difficult, escpecialy with a lot of people, i got into the duel with lyon only twice and that were when only a few people joined the red chocobo fight. It is a lot less chaotic if fewer people are in, it has much less life you have to compensate for the dead people.

Winning a duel rewards you not only with the lore piece, but also a title and 99 bozjan chests
Make sure you always got the required lost actions (mana wall, dispell) ready and watch a guide of the fights or else you will not succeed.

The most difficult part of the red chocobo in my opinion is dodging the red circles, there is a easy strategy for them, but often gets screwed over because other people drop their aoe thngs in the way.

There are cheese strats to clear the southern front duels very fast if you got a caster leveled up enough. May still take a few attempts to get, but nothing ventured...

I have done 78 times CLL still no Lyon field notes from it.
