The Rising Event (Spoiler)

 
The Event starts at Nonora in Ul’dah (10, 10 Steps of Nald). Hmmm why does she looks so familiar to me? AH! It’s Naoki Yoshida’s little Blackmage Lady J
 
After starting the Event you have to complete the FATE “Recurring Bugs” in Central Thanalan (18, 15).
 
After completing the FATE you have to go back to Ul’dah and the story continues. The Wandering Minstrel plays his new song and gets you into another reality…. But wait… who is welcoming you in that special place? Yes it’s Naoki Yoshida himself.
 
 
You are now in the developer office where you are able to meet the developers.
 
Meet and Greet with the developers:
I was lucky and got a selfie with every guy from the developer team :P
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the Meet and Greet I was able to check out some nice posters.
 
 
 
I also talked to some other stuff members. Hmmmm this guy seems to talk about a future primal isn’t he?!
 
At the end everyone said goodbye and a good day passed away.
 
 
After completing the event there was a wonderful firework and I got the new minions J
 
 
 
I hope you enjoy the event as much as I did and have fun with the new minions.

Unsynced Pony Farm Guide


 

I started to farm my ponies before Heavensward came out and now I am trying to get the missing ones.
Since Heavensward you are able to fight the Extreme modes with Level 60 by using the “Undersized Party” setting.
 
If you are using that setting you are able to change the party setup and fight with less than 8 players. But be aware of some new important rules while fighting.
Here are the important points about every primal:

Garuda:
Starting with Garuda (She is the easiest one). Since you are fighting with Level 60 you are able to change the party setup as you can see in the picture. If you have a very good healer and tank you could try it with 1 Tank, 1 Heal and 3 DPS. In the Add phase one of the DPS (in my party I did as a BRD) takes Suprana and all DPS kill her asap. The Tank only takes Garuda and Chirada at the other side of the area. After killing Suprana you swap to Chirada. The rest of the tactic is still the same.

 



Titan:
Titan is also one of the easier ones (if everyone knows how to move and don’t fall off :P ). You can do it with 1 Tank (you never need 2), 1 Heal (only need 2 if he can’t do it alone) and 3 DPS. The tactic doesn’t change. The only critical point is the heart phase. If you DPS to hard while the 2 Gaols are up he skips the phase and casts Landslide earlier and causes some problems.

 


Shiva:
Shiva has no changes in the tactic. The only thing that changes is the reduction of members in the party. It’s the same situation as with Garuda and Titan. If you have some good players you can to the 1 Tank, 1 Heal and 3 DPS setup. You just have to change the amount of Healers and Tanks if needed.

 


Ifrit:
Same Thing… you can do it with 1 Tank, 1 Heal and 3 DPS as a minimum setup. You have to be careful before and in the last Infernal Nail phase. You should start the DPS stop on Ifrit at about 20%. If he goes to low while in the last Infernal Nail phase he will go into the next phase and kill all Nails instantly. This will kill you all ----- WIPE!

 


Ramuh:
One of my favorites… I have to farm this guy like sh** because he just don’t want to drop any ponies (If he does I lose :P ). I tried this guy with many different setups and it’s possible to kill him with 1 Tank, 1 Heal and 3 DPS but you do better with 1 Tank, 2 Heal, 3 DPS. You should really look at his mechanics since they are even at Level 60 kind of hard. If the Adds are up you have to stop dpsing Ramuh cause if you go on dpsing him he will go into the next phase and kill all of his Adds and yes you are going to die! This happened to me with many groups (sometimes even the Tank has to stop dpsing!).

 


Leviathan:
This is the only one I did not try with Level 60 unsynced groups but as far as I know you should do it with 2 Tank, at least 1 Heal and 3 DPS. The hard part is that you have to do a DPS stop at 50% and 20% cause you have to use the dome at the right time. This seems to be a problem that many groups got. If I get better information I will update this post.

 

 
Build your own group via part finder!

Most other parties are kind of scared to do it with less than 8 people. If you build your own party you are able to create your own setup. Less people = better chance for everyone to get a pony :P

Set the minimum Item Level to 140 to make sure only Level 60 players are able to join. No we don’t want to exclude players under Level 60 but we want to do a fast pony farm party with less people so they should be Level 60.

If there is anything I should add just let me know :)
 
Goof luck with you own pony farm party!

Double Carbuncle Unpacking


In July we ordered the Topaz and Emerald Carbuncle Plush (2 of each) and yesterday we got 2 packages from England.
 
 
 
 
We had to make 2 orders because you are not able to order preorder stuff together with other articles. Was a bit sad because we had to pay delivery costs two times.
First step:
Carefully opening the packages and be happy to see the sweet plush inside.
 
 
 
Second Step:
Find the Ingame key and use it in the Mogry-Station.
 

 
 
Third Step:
Be happy and enjoy the plush and minions.
 
 
 
 
 

  
A little negative aspect is that the eyes are not parallel. One eye is higher than the other one.
