Hmm, there's quite a few things I might need to clear up regarding that...Originally Posted by ZenMaster
First: as to the 'locked raid' comment: strongly disagree. Because this isn't all about you: the lower level players may not give you major help (but then again...) but you know what they say about many small things. And this can also give a lower level player a nice boost in their stats, maybe just the thing they need. And well: I also know of lower level newbies who were so determined to make it through that they even threw potions at it to revive themselvesYes, that would be me a few weeks back
Heck, talking about raids: I don't necessarily enjoy high level players starting a normal or expert raid session and then asking for help even though they can easily finish the whole thing on their own. Don't these people know that you don't have to ask for help? That can sometimes upset me a little bit: I go in for a fight but I hardly get to do anything because session is mostly run by that level 90+ player. Why ask for help if you don't need it, hmm?
Raids ain't about you, definitely agree. Lowbies can join and benefit a lot... provided they don't saturate the raid. Wind ragna raids currently only have 15 slots, and I'm assuming you aren't at that position yet, so I'm just gonna say that it's a very tiny party size relative to the difficulty. 5 out of 15 players doing 30k dmg per turn on a boss with 15m (iirc) HP is NOT going to help, and no amount of elixirs a non space whale can afford fixes the problem. I don't have problems with lowbies joining raids IF I was in a position to carry them, but I'm not and they come anyway, hence the rage.
Paragraph number 2 is basically countering what you're trying to push for. If we're opening an easy raid to public, we're doing so because lowbies can benefit from the drops simply by poking the boss even once. You can't just want to join the raid and expect to get the best rewards out of doing practically nothing, you're still getting something out of the standard chest drops.
Those drops are actually fairly common, if you're able to solo standard you should see an SR Eidolon drop every... 3 runs or so?Aaaanyway... I figured I'd share, I feel very lucky today!
Small attachment but oh well... suppose you can always click it. Anyway; I'm well aware that the 'disaster' or 'prison' Eidolons aren't the best around but on the other hand; just because you have a decent chance of obtaining more it's well doable to level break them (easier than your average SSR I'd say) which allows for better upgrades. And of course I also enjoy them because you fight 'm in raid battles. I know; that shouldn't be a decisive factor but I don't care about that because I'm having fun.
So, today, I was grinding SP missions to get upgrade materials as well as raid quests. 3 in a row! It started with the Prison of fire disaster, which at first I hadn't even noticed. I only did when I was upgrading an eidolon to finish a daily mission and well... an SR eidolon I didn't know?
And much to my surprise (and excitement!) light and dark have now also dropped on me. As you can see I already had wind and lightning. Next stop: trying to fight ice disaster raids in hopes of water to drop too, then I'll have the whole collection.
