    Not only am I not farming essences, I've been doing a lot of these at work on my laptop using their crappy wifi, so I'm generally distracted and hitchy through a lot of the run. Plenty of times I've had to actually step away for a few minutes mid fight, and I'm usually dead when I get back, lol.

    Doesn't it make you all so mad? Don't you wish there was something you could do about it?

    I never do complain, but this isn't really an apt comparison. Expecting people to do mechanics and play their class in the content they queued for isn't the same as expecting them to farm, spend gil and do a bunch of external prep work for a normal DR raid.

    May as well get mad that the people doing normal SHB raids aren't pentamelded and using high level foods/pots because of what a significant time difference that would make.

    What is this farming essences you speak of? I got pretty much all of mine just doing Fates and CEs in Southern Front. How can you have ranked up and gotten to the end of Bozja without having collected a bunch of Essences?

    I'm level 15 now, and after cashing in the measly fragments you get from CEs/FATES I had exactly 4 decent, usable essences for my job and a bunch of crap. The Relic steps I've been doing outside of Bozja, so I'd only run CLL and DR once prior. Running Bozja proper gets you virtually nothing unless you get lucky.

    I plan to use all of the essences I have, but won't be farming/buying more.

    Next time, sell them for 1 gil at the marketboard. Someone who is not playing while at work and afk-ing mid fight will make better use of them.

    I try to make sure I use them during runs where I'll be somewhat focused. I'm considerate like that.
