    Repeating a duty: no rewards?

    Hello All

    Am pretty new to the game and have a question related to duties.

    Yesterday, I completed Castrum Meridianum (as a step of my MSQ). Today, I wanted to repeat it, so I went there, click on entrance, took a party of NPCs and off I go. I managed it a lot better than the first time, so I was pretty happy, but... I didn't get any rewards!?

    So, my question is probably quite stupid but: When we repeat a duty, we don't get any rewards? Or what do I fail to understand?

    Completing a duty multiple times by queueing directly for it provides no real benefit unless you are trying to farm an item inside that duty

    Completing a duty by getting it in one of your roulettes provides a once per day benefit of extra rewards

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Thank you!

    Additional question: roulette duties, can we do them with NPCs too?

    No. The whole point of roulette is to do it with other people, so the roulette fills you in to people who directly queue a certain dungeon to help them out

    Oh... Will not dare to. Am too new, doing by far too many errors and lacking too many knowledges for now. I can't do that to others!

    People don’t mind you making mistakes especially when you are new.

    It’s good to get experience with other people, the higher you go the more you’ll run into instances where the duty support system can’t help you complete a required duty to progress the main story and the duty support system is rather rigid in how it’s designed to work with encounters, working with more flexible players is good experience

    On the other hand, if you never join a party how will you learn in the first place? Jumping in, maybe messing up, and learning from it, is all part of the experience.

    People in this game tend to be very patient with new players. It's expected that new players don't know everything yet. The game actually announces at the start of a dungeon if someone in the party has never done it before, and combined with the new player sprout icon, it instantly tempers expectations. If you tell the party that you're new and ask if there's anything you should know about the dungeon of bosses or whatever, most people will be happy to answer.

    Your first time around, was it through msqroulette or from queueing specifically for Castrum? If it was the latter then your extra reward may have been the first time bonus.

    People are a million times more chill about mistakes than you’d expect. I joke to my friends and say “this game is like the opposite of League of Legends.” Also you can die a lot without hindering the team as long as you’re not tank or healer. Just let your party know when it’s your first time in a duty.


    It’s also good to play with people for the sake of seeing how people play. They’re a little different than the trusts (eg. humans use aoe attacks on the groups of enemies, tanks will grab two groups of enemies at a time, etc) And people can give you advice too.
