As I’ve mentioned in other threads, I happen to be fortunate enough that my character’s entire aesthetic aligns perfectly with Kinna weapons, the second, “red and black fire” evolution of the PotD appearances. I am an Omni-job “single character altoholic,” and for me personally, for this character, I don’t see any iteration of relic weapon aligning so perfectly with my character as the Kinna motif, so of course a long term project in the back of my head is to collect more and more Kinna appearances. Currently I use a Kinna weapon appearance on my main job only, but there are jobs where the glam options I’ve collected, while a good foundation, could use an update, and of course Kinna weapons are an inevitable, reasonable grind.

I am largely a solo player, for many reasons, so my options for grinding palace of the dead seem to boil down to two really: Solo climbing, or herding cats (essentially just hoping, really) in a random group that may clear floors faster and safer, but at the same time may do so at the expense of missing out on blue and silver chests that advance your aetherpool set.

For those who have perhaps targeted the goal of potentially hundreds and hundreds of aetherpool points, which path feels more efficient while remaining relatively inevitable? I acknowledge that the more manual party finder might be an option, but I’m not sure how popular this particular farm might be, so it feels like solo or random are my only efficient options.

Thanks in advance for any and all helpful replies!
