Ffxiv Msq Roulette Exp

But it's worth it only because the cutscenes really pick up on later ARR MSQ and patches like Dreams of Ice were just fine quest-wise. If you skip MSQ you will miss out introduction to some dungeons and trials which may appear in Duty Roulette later. Apparently you can at least re-watch cutscenes at an inn but you still miss the instances. Hello, I love FFXIV but as a player who prefers to quest and do solo content in MMO's (go figure) I'm really getting bummed by all the group content I'm am apparently forced to do as part of the Main Story. It's made worse by being classed as a Tank and stresses me out (thats why I mostly solo in MMO's) Before I throw in the towel I thought I'd ask if the group content gets fewer and far. The MSQ roulette is most definitely still worth it. Got 6 million+ exp at level 72. So the answer is yes.

FFXIV is filled with so many dungeons, trials, and other duties that there are probably some you’ve forgotten all about. Khloe Aliapoh’s Wondrous Tails give you a reason to mix up your usual routine, or even to revisit some old content. Depending on how well you weave these tales of adventure into your journal, you’ll get to pick from many possible prizes each week.

How It Works

All you need to unlock Wondrous Tails is a level 60 character and access to Idyllshire, which occurs late in the Heavensward MSQ. Then you can pick up the sidequest ‘Keeping Up with the Aliapohs‘. Every week you can go see Khloe in Idyllshire to pick up a Wondrous Tails journal. She’ll ask you to fill out the journal with stories of your adventures and then return it to her. The way this is done is by completing duties from a list of options, semi-randomized each week. There are 16 duties listed on the lefthand side of the book, and you’ll need to complete 9 of them.

For each duty you complete, a seal will be added at random to the grid on the righthand side of the journal. Once 9 seals have been placed, their layout may or may not form a number of full lines on the grid. These are lines of four seals horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It’s basically a bingo-style game to see how many rewards you win, but you’ll always win something. Turn in your completed journal by the listed deadline and you’ll get to select your prize(s).

Second Chance Points

Below your grid of duties is a Second Chance button, showing your remaining Second Chance Points. These are earned by completing a duty where any party member had a first time bonus. You’re capped at 9 points and you can spend these on Retries or Shuffles.

A Retry (1 point) means you cross off a duty you haven’t yet completed (at random) and reactivate a selected duty you’ve already completed that week. Basically this lets you get multiple seals from the same duty, and can be useful if you only have a few duties on the list you actually want to do. Retries can make your tasks more convenient if you play them right.

A Shuffle (2 points) can be used if you currently have between three and seven seals on the grid. It will rearrange the seals at random, so if your grid looks like you’re unlikely to complete any full lines, using one or more Shuffles can improve your shot at a bigger prize.

Ideally you want your seals to land in such a way that it’s possible to complete three lines. There are 24 possible patterns that result in the biggest prize, so if your seven seals land in a way that accommodates any of them, definitely keep them. In order to get three lines you’ll need one horizontal line, one vertical line, one diagonal line, and three points of intersection. It’s a long shot, but aiming for those combinations will still maximize your potential prizes.

Try not to let your Second Chance Points go to waste. If your seven seals aren’t placed well and you’re sitting on nine points, just Shuffle them. I usually stop if they arrange themselves in a guaranteed single line, or if they conform to one of the 24 three line patterns.

Rewards

Turning your completed (9 seal) journal in to Khloe will reward you with bonuses depending on the layout of your seals. There are four tiers of rewards based on how lucky you get, and you’ll receive one item of your choice from each tier you qualify for. For example, If your seals make two full lines then you’ll get to pick one item each from the ‘9 Seals’, ‘1 Line’, and ‘2 Lines’ lists. As long as you earn 9 seals you’ll win something from the first tier.

Note that you can turn in your completed journal during the following week after you accept it. If you do so, you can then accept the current week’s journal from Khloe immediately. I find this leniency to be really convenient if I get a bit lax about doing enough of my specific duties on a particular week. This allows players to catch up if they fall behind. You can always check the deadline of your journal at the top of your Wondrous Tails window. The deadline is at weekly reset time, which falls on Tuesdays.

There are actually two versions of Khloe’s Wondrous Tails journal. There’s one for players who have reached at least level 80, and one for those who haven’t. This is because reward options get added, which include high level equipment, high level materia, and the two endgame tomestones: Phantasmagoria and Allegory.

Experience

In addition to the other 9 Seals rewards, you’ll always be awarded half of your current level’s worth of experience for the Job you turn the journal in on. This is a significant amount, so I recommend trying not to hand it in while you’re on a level 80 Job. You’ll get more benefit the higher level your Job is though, because half a bar is easy to get at low levels, but not so easy in the 70s.

9 Seals Rewards

500 Tomestones of Poetics – This could save you a decent amount of time running roulettes. Poetics are currently especially valuable because of the Shadowbringers Relic Weapons. 1000 Poetics is enough to get one weapon.

Timeworn Zonureskin Map – These can be sold for varying amounts of gil (often greater than the Allagan piece) or used to participate in Treasure Hunting parties for the chance at more loot.

Allagan Platinum Piece (10,000 gil) – This is a good amount of gil for low effort, and can actually be used to buy some of the other stuff in this category (materia, crafting materials). It’s like getting cash instead of a gift card.

100 Tomestones of Phantasmagoria– It might be worth it if there’s no Allagan piece being offered. You can buy a few endgame crafting materials to sell, or some i460-470 Deepshadow equipment if that glamour catches your eye.

3 Mhachi Demimatter (noncombat materia V)– While this isn’t the worst option, you can also buy materia for gil. It could be worth it depending on your server’s market, and if you’re trying to cheaply overmeld your crafters or gatherers.

6 Mhachi Matter (combat materia V) = Definitely the most useless option. Grade V materia is kind of pointless for overmelding combat gear when the game throws grade VIIs at you.

1 Line Rewards

Dress-up Thancred (minion)

Wind-up Estinien (minion)

Wind-up Khloe (minion)

Khloe’s Bronze Certificate of Commendation – Trade this for a couple of endgame materia tokens to use or sell on the marketboard.

MGP Gold Card (30,000 MGP) – If you’ve got your eye on a mount or outfit from the Gold Saucer, every bit of MGP helps get you there. This is like completing many successful GATEs all at once.

50 Tomestones of Allegory – Not worth it at all. You can easily reach your weekly cap in other ways, so this will probably be worth absolutely nothing.

2 Line Rewards

Wind-up Zhloe (minion)

Stuffed Khloe (tabletop)

500 Tomestones of Phantasmagoria – If you’re interested in playing the marketboard, this pile of tomestones can buy a lot of crafting materials to sell. Personally I would go for the certificate or MGP card below because they’re simpler to deal with.

Khloe’s Silver Certificate of Commendation – This nets you several tokens to exchange for grade VII or VIII materia.

2 MGP Platinum Cards (100,000 MGP total) – This will go a long way towards that item you’ve got your eye on at the Gold Saucer prize counter.

3 Line Rewards

3 Khloe’s Silver Certificates of Commendation – You can exchange these for a mix of noncombat and combat materia, or
