• Stay in the middle of the first, second or third area you are farming when no skirmishes are up.
  • Do /shout lfg zone 3.
  • If you don't get invited, invite others who ask to your party.
  • If you have a tank that is level 71 or higher, use that, turn on your tank stance and use enmity attacks on a single target or AoE on multiple targets.
  • When you get into a CE, /shout lfg, or invite people to your party so it won't disband afterwards.
There is a bit of a problem, such as skirmishes scaling to 1 person while everyone is in a CE and then melting when everyone gets out. There isn't anything toxic about it though. You just need to try and do what I suggested, you may occasionally lose some mettle from not getting gold but you still get plenty overall from the third area.

For mechanics that kill you, being a dark knight helps because you can use the blackest night to prevent death, especially from the chocobo meteors. You still need a bit of distance though.

There are a lot of alternatives like essences that increase health, Lost Bubble and Stoneskin.

This notifies other players & enables them to gather up before actually starting the encounter.
I've noticed that for a lot of the skirmishes recently. People head to them before I even see them on the map and a few times that has affected me getting gold.
