When you complete yesterdays objective, todays objective becomes available. They did not *** up this time.

Wow. Open the gobbie box and auction an item.
They went full desperation mode.
No more ambuscade. No more mercenary camp. No more level capped bc. Just the absolute kindergarten level participation.
I mean, that's not a complaint. Getting silver is now redickulously easy. I'm just surprised.

The 500+ Lightning damage is an Ambuscade one.

That must be the 1st/2nd slot I didn't change those ones
Shouldve reset them all to see what they were
You can auction the same item twice (obviously) put it up, take it down, put it up again

Reset did give 5 new dailies, so good there, and its 80 points today as well. By my math you can get a total of 1390 points this round, assuming every reset is 80 points. That gives you 190 points of wiggle room from gold tier, so don't remove too many dailies :x And that's if you got up early/stayed up late. For most people, the total is 1310. Definitely not a lot of wiggle room at all.

How do you know that these won't come up in the next few days?

They might, just basing it on the day zero objectives
Just being overdramatic

Yeah agreed, only having 110 points to play with, especially during a holiday week, is not much at all.

The 500+ Lightning damage is an Ambuscade one. So, take all my multibox toons, Rolling Thunder, enough Lightning Damage, right?
Nada. Stays at zero. Sigh.

I dont think you can push rolling thunder damage to 500+ per hit

It's possible that its a *** up, it might not even actually be lightning
Not sure. Didn't do day zero. Just that it's possible, they've screwed it up before.
It's also 500 per hit, not 500 total, so that could be it too

It is lightning. Anvil Lightning cleared the objective in Regular Ambuscade VD against the Heartwing (once you get rid of its DT from the adds).

ThunderV to a leafkin add is also sufficient :P

The problem is RMT. RMT will run their base of operations on the largest server, as that server is likely to have the most customers. SE is unable or unwilling to fix that problem.
Having said that, Odin doesnt seem to have the population growth Bahamut did after Asura closed. Could be a few reasons:
RMT dont want to burn real money doing server transfers, again, and gonna ride out Bahamut for a while since they can still leave Bahamut to sell gil / merch?
RMT arent complete idiots knowing that Odin is a JP heavy server and SE is more likely to listen to JP feedback if the RMT get too out of control?
wouldn't really surprise me if odin is next, although at this point hopefully they will start looking at measures other than lockdowns...

Donations worked for me. He seems to call people out by name and job and I traded right after he called out another RDM. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Donations worked for me on all of my chars, old ones and recent ones that never needed a Walahra turban.
Did yall talk to the npc first and sign up or just trade coin to him?

I've had a couple people report that they didn't get their Incursion plaudits despite having it on their objective list. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Apparently you need to be physically close to the NM when it dies - not just idling at start.

Oh neat. it's auto rolling when you didn't complete day zero.
Why that's just lovely.
Do donation and it immediately started up monster rearing, even less worse than it was.
Did fear of the dark and it immediately rolled to 500 lightning, very very good.
*** it, that's actually fantastic lol
Running out of things to *** about. It's almost good now. Worth rewards. Low enough effort. No spammingbuscade. Cancelable tasks. Autorolling tasks. No fishing. What's even left to complain about.
Do 2 WKR kinda sucks, but you got 2 weeks to do it.
Dyna TAV objective is pretty trashy, but any real player should have no issue.

Man this ***is just riddled with translation errors.
So, I don't think there needs to be a new thread. That was the point of not calling this "the fourth bout" etc.
Everything is basically locked in, as it were. The objectives may change slightly but by and large you can assume they're going to be more or less the same.
Do (element) damage.
Do a skillchain and/or burst.
Live through a buscade.
Cure and/or Raise someone.
Do one of the five minor bcnm/orb fights. (use bsts/pups for automatic wins)
Fish and/or craft.
Run the bird.
Not expecting anything radically different. The event is the same, the rewards are the same, no point in much discussion really.
The sortie crates are not special in any way. Still random. Segment campaign is still spectacularly mediocre. We will certainly hit the 150% goals. Blah blah blah.
I think we all know the deal by now. And as much fun as it was to shit on the first 3, I expect all the fun has been sucked out of it going forward.
Everything is pretty well explained.
(VBD) Are dailies
(VB) Are Totals for the whole event
It's all simple shit, Win an Ambuscade. Don't die in ambuscade. Do obscure minigame. Pet/poke/etc your rearing monster. Chocobo dig. Fish.
Don't forget to wake up early and do Day Zero Dailies.
