burkhalter83: I think my biggest wish for the all of these steps would be for them to unlock the arcanite vendor as soon as you pick up the first quest, that way it doesn't feel like I'm wasting so many mathematics along the way while collecting paste.

Kroustyy: Speed grinding a MMORPG so you get your relic within 24 hours of it's release and then spend 3 months doing nothing ? That's genius....

markcollier3644: Eh, I think I'll just play the game normally.

ryuzmi5971: I appreciate you trying to make a guide for people to finish their relic quickly, but I don't think locking a person who is leveling out of exp gains from a level apropriate dungeon is a particularly good idea.

chernobyl169: Imagine just doing it legitimately instead of trying to cheese the farm

BOFH_: If this is anything like the old Crystal Tower Queue cheese, your item level is snapshotted the moment you queue, and you can re-equip your proper gear before the queue pops.

medivh1035: l went even more extreme man. l have a free trial account to only unlock first 4 dungeons to greatly increase my chance of getting ifrit.

Wishmaster787: I'm just doing fates

SincerelyUnique4u: Saw this suggestion on the FFXIV subreddit and it got downvoted so bad

X99-h6r: ridiculous... You shouldn't have to do any of this shit its so poorly designed.

UzuAFC: Just do fates you get 3 per gold clear and farm gil at same time

ShineChromatica: The whole point of the options to do it outside of Occult Crescent is to bolster roulette populations during downtime between these later patches. Doing this kind of cheese strat completely negates that and pulls other people who are queueing to actually help people do actual roulettes into your cheese farming instead. 7-8 minutes is literally how long it takes to just spam current normal raids and you'll have access to all of your current movesets in those and it doesn't actively make roulette queues worse for newer players.

Quilmeleon: Fate farming while in que will be my method. Got 200 paste in 2 hours last night with this method.

Sneakiest_bear: There's actually a better way to cheese this

Do the same strat with 3 people, but set your DF language to only JP (or any language that your region doesn't really use), and get a 4th player specifically queuing up into Ifrit and Garuda normal under the same language. That player will pull the other 3 into Ifrit and Garuda every time. The trial only takes 1-2 minutes, so you can get all the paste done in under 2 hours, and because it's so fast, you can do the same method for the 4th person after, and it's still faster than doing the ARR levelling ilvl cheese

KazaarLotha: they put this in the game so lowlvl players get faster roulettes... why spread this?

passerbeta2298: 7-8mins same duration as doing M9-12 normal and give 8 also while trying RNG for orchestration scroll to drop

charbajeena7452: I keep spam leveling roulette, because at least you got much more variety dungeon so at least not boring much.

medivh1035: LOl. nice, teaching people to cheese.

Supersenkel2: I personally went with FATE farming, this "cheese" strat is quicker but you still make more than 100 paste an hour the gems you are getting. Made over 6k gems farming like 1k paste

IzzyG_XIV: Ayy thats what I did yesterday! I finished mine yesterday doing this

sepheroithisgod: I did this. The older ARR dungeons are simply faster and more fun to do massive chain pulls to the boss. Really wish they would bring this back instead of forcing dungeons to take longer by limiting your pulls to two mob groups. Pretty disappointing that they basically repeated the last step with roulette spamming. The other options should be buffed because they don't really compare to Leveling spam.

ruick78: "You need low level. Class." Ah great all my classes are 100

crownmetal: fella looks so tired

CorynSilver: As it turns out, tanks and healers can just solo queue with 0iLv and it seems to work too, if you can’t get a party. I managed 30 of my 60 leveling roulettes in about 5 hours yesterday with multiple tanks and healers swapping out while I just went in as naked Dancer, tho I also saw several other dancers (among other jobs) also queued with no gear into my party. It’s kind of a vibe chilling and chatting with people

ofr57: and this shows poor design, AR had issues people cheesing and people lost there mind yet this is deemed ok

weedong: eat apple in front of doctor
