Bozja Improvement Ideas

[Ath192]

I've never done Bozja... does it still offer anything relevant?

Fun, a mount, a customizable relic that is still the top choice to clear old ults because of stat customization, hair styles, furniture. But the best is the content/story since it will always be relevant to someone who wants to play the game and experience what it has to offer. I.E. Heavensward is very relevant to a new player but not to someone who has finished the expansion. As such, Bozja is relevant to you.

I've never done Bozja... does it still offer anything relevant?

To put it as simply as I can. The story. That's it- While yes some people find the *old-school mmo* style content "fun" it's a major disparage from how XIV is normally. The relics you get aren't really worth doing unless it's for glamour but aren't relevant now that we're in endwalker and are doing EW relics.

Personally, I liked the story, however the aspect of held exp and then banking what you have doesn't do it justice (This is just from personal bias since people Ruined Eureka for me and you shouldn't hold it to the content. Try it out you, might like it.) That being said- The only viable reasons for going into Bozja now are:

~Story
Hairstyles
Mounts
Minions
and Glamours


That's really it.

Personally for myself: I would like the ability to buy any remaining notes with the clusters.

They honestly should just drastically increase the drop rate for all of the super rare ones and call it a day.

Oh, and rework DR so it's not just dead outside of PF.

Ignoring them and moving on because It's not worth getting heated over.

In light of the Solo Duels being so Hard to even get into, I do think having "Practice" Npc's Like Mammets who do similar mechanic's so that you could practice said duels would be a good addition. Like not full fights but at the very least one of each mechanic so that way you could practice the mechanics when ever you want. Or at least something so that way people can actually know what they are doing when they get into it.

I actually don't mind the drop rates as much, but what really REALLY annoys me is the random spawn times for some of the Skirmishes required. We spent over 2 hours earlier in Primal killing Scorpions to spawn For Absent Friends and in turn Of Steel and Flame, and it just didn't feel like spawning. Why? I have no idea. Next one respawned in like half an hour. Why? I have no idea. Standing in a tiny plateau for 2 hours killing the same two enemies until the thing decides to spawn isn't engaging, hard, or interesting. It's a waste of time.

[AstreMcClain]

Yeah, they can feel like they take ages to spawn. increasing the spawn rate might be a good thing.

I personally see the only thing they need to touch is to either improve the drop rate/skirmish spawn frequency, and/or allow up to 2-5 duelists to challenge the duels.

So let's say there are 5 player who's eligible to enter the duel? Pick 3 players with highest notoriety rating & let them queue in line. If the first player fail to complete the duel, then whoever's in 2nd (and eventually 3rd) place should get the chance to take their place.

Resource wise, imho everything's fine except those essences that are attainable only from CLL & Dalriada. It would be nice to at least have them in cluster vendor -after- player clears said duties at least once, even if it may be expensive.

[AstreMcClain]

Yeah, like I get a lot of Tanking Essences even though I don't like to tank a lot so I'm just like begging for some Beasts at this point.

Also the spawning requirements for CEs should be lowered, or the whole system transferred to being on timers, or perhaps spawned by enemies encountered in skirmishes. Otherwise on a lower population world you can have no CEs spawning at all. Getting no EXP from the enemies that spawn the CEs is harsh.

[Iscah]

I would also like to see the relic quests restructured so you don't have the silly bottleneck of having to run loads of Stormblood FATEs and alliance raids all in one go before you can get back to doing stuff in Bozja. Change it to need a few crystals per weapon instead of all at once.
