New to this, where are the dailies in-game? I can't see them in the vanabout section
They should've been granted to you automatically when the event started, if they aren't showing up something has gone very wrong for you, try zoning

Tried logging in full vanilla in-case some addon was messing things up and yeah still no dailies, but evidentally it's just me because the leaderboard guy has the points he should have if dailies existed. Idk

That prize selection is some tone deaf dumbfuckery
No deeds. No abyssea kupon. 1 old case instead of 3. The pulse is fine, the lack of option is not.
Not even a free trust tome? I love this! They made Vana'Bad completely irrelevant to me, so I can go do something else!

If my math is correct, you have to do all of the 6 base objectives and 8 and a half days of all the daily objectives, out of a total of 10 possible days.
I am away from home for 2 days: I mathematically can't get the 600 point reward. That's real shitty.

Yeah they appeared fine for me on all of my characters, I really have no idea what's happened there for you. Do you happen to have any UI DAT mods that could be messing with it? Have you tried a file repair to see if there's something maybe broken in your game files? I'm unsure what would cause that client-side though, but might be worth a shot just because, I'm definitely leaning towards an actual game bug though.

No Dat changes nah, not even maps or fonts or whatnot. I'll do a file repair check or w/e and see
The people at SE just heard I was only resubbing for a bit to get a title and figured it would be funny to mess with me probably. Those silly bunch of so and sos

I did donation and didn't get credit. Didn't try teeth yet.
file check was complete with no errors found
It's gotta be something on my end since everyone else has the goals,lol
Maybe I have too many RoE completed with my sweet mastery rank level (shameless plug)

First full day, woohoo

Full Info Here
The typos this time around are pretty damn bad, honestly, to expand from my previous post, mainly just to make people aware in case they are going off just the descriptions.
Recalling Adventures (VB)
- Adventures in the description is "adenvtures".
- Bastok Mines is apparently now "Bastok Mintes". (upcoming Galka mouthwash item?)
- The moogle in Windurst Woods is not at K-19 as stated, it's at K-10.
The Swarm (VB)
- Obtain in the description is "obrtain".
Domain Invasion (VBD)
- Participate in the description is "Participte".
- Points in the description is "pointa".
- Requisite in the description is "requsite".
Jingly (VBD)
- Description states that there is a Mandragora Assistant in Windurst Waters, it's actually in Windurst Walls.

I still get the title though without being perfect now, right? If not, I obviously won't bother

The title is impossible for you to get, unless they give you the 20 missed points (they might do it, if enough people saw the same thing)
...well theres almost zero chance ten won't cap, so not "impossible" just extremely unlikely

■ New changes
- The method for obtaining titles will change as follows:
- If your total plaudits at the end of the event place you within the top 10 of your World, you will receive the reward regardless of whether you are listed on the ranking board.

It's up for debate if it's better or worse.
Rewards being dogshit so you get to skip it, is a hard argument to make saying that's not fantastic.
And a total of 26 objectives is better than 40 objectives.
Can't say it isn't objectively less worse than last time.

Going back to the theories about how the list is ordered, I tested if it's done based on the order you initially register for the rankings, and I was 100% the first person to register on Bahamut today, since I did it the moment it started. Seems to be the case because I just updated my registration after the list was well populated and it put me straight at the top of the list.

Yikes lol. I noticed typos, but that's really bad. I did quite enjoy noticing Bastok Mintes, and I did a bit of a double-take at K-19 Windy Woods. Actually questioned myself for a moment like... uhhhh is there some off the map invisible tunnel I totally forgot about? K-19? Is that even a real map coordinate? Oh, it's not.
I don't care at all about the rewards here (watch, this is the time I actually get a capped +2 JSE ear for a job I do care about lol), but I'm kinda down with the idea of lower effort Vana'Bouts, or shorter ones.
Don't mind the easy mode objectives though, which feel more aligned to the quality of the rewards on offer here.

Wow... is that really all the rewards? Only one Old Case +1, Ambuscade voucher and Pulse voucher? If so, I don't see the point unless you are a returnee and want the pulse. I'd rather do something else.
The only redeeming thing I can see is getting x3 Abdhaljs seal for the Silver tier (100 points), but not worth trying for the rest unless you still need the title.

I mean, it's not really designed for players like you and me as the core audience. It is VERY much for people like those who need the pulse.
And OK, fine I guess? We have a couple more recent returnees in the LS that needed some pulse weapons, to the point we went out to Escha farming beads/pulse just a week or two ago (did get one!). Would have been nice to get some options though, like it might have been a good place to offer that ilevel Relic+3 kupon that has been in the .DATs (even if I prefer AF over Relic, that would be a valuable reward for a lot of people). Or like, why be so stingy now and drop the Old Case +1 to a single one instead of 3 chances (which inevitably means job you don't care about, mediocre augment, or both!)
May also be a way of doing an apology for the borked rankings/title stuff from last time. I was a little surprised to see Vana'bout return so soon, and it's this "Lite" version, so perhaps it's really just to not delay in giving people another opportunity to get their titles? That's probably the more consequential "reward" for the more hardcore players.

Nope. I won't do it. Already got my title the first time it was offered. When the rewards were decent I'd get each tier, but all that work for a single Old Case +1? No thanks.
And yes. I agree. This content is more so for returnees. The pulse voucher is awesome for them. I wish there was some incentive for long time players as well, but it's not a big deal. The upside is I get to skip this one.

How does SE always make something ok and then have ONE thing just absolutely terrible? The Swarm is a garbage thing where it's individual score... but requires 3 people to go in? ffs....
[+]
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.
