A server of people hoping to coax Chi out of hiding with dozens of dogs.Īnyway, I went through this process yesterday on my server, and y’all are still out there in huge crowds waiting on Chi for days. A typical FATE has a handful of people show it, Chi’s FATE can have hundreds. I love it, and apparently, everyone else does too. Mounting up on one makes your character adorable, small, and trapped inside of a screen. It’s a replica of the Level Checkers you first encounter in Stormblood‘s Omega Raids and based on an enemy from Final Fantasy V. The Level Checker mount you’re rewarded with is probably one of my favorites I get why we’re all out here.
And 12 of those bolts get you the thing everyone is after, a Level Checker mount. If you earn maximum participation rewards for the FATE, you get six Chi Bolts. You could be there for 30 minutes or 30 hours, and all of this gets way more complicated when you factor in things like FFXIV’s AFK timer. When the potential spawn window for Chi’s FATE opens, players pour into the instance to wait on the boss platform. It can spawn once every 48 hours, and the community tracks its spawn through tools like Faloop! and Discord alerts. If you’re out of the loop and okay with a few spoiler-ish details, Chi is the final boss of a three FATE chain. Someone showing off their Chi reward mount while waiting for Chi. I can offer no reasons for why I do this, but perhaps at this point it’s just sunk cost fallacy. I’ve seen Chi pop twice and still haven’t gotten my mount. Then, during the day, I park my little Miqo’te where Chi’s FATE spawns and craft for hours while I work so I can periodically look over and see if the boss has shown up yet. So there are hundreds of players, quite literally, waiting in line to log in and wait again.Īlso, hello, it’s me I’m “players waiting in line to wait in another line.” Right now, zmy strategy is gathering a ton of materials at night when I’m not working. The wait for Chi’s FATE can take hours (or days), and the afternoon queue still lingers at thousands long.
This is due to real estate properties being unavailable in the new worlds for the time being, though they may become purchasable again in the future.It’s been a month since Endwalker launched, and Final Fantasy XIV players are still crowding into 6.0’s final zone to try and slay Chi - a FATE boss rewarding a new Stormblood-era mount, Level Checker. Players who earlier purchased a home or apartment in a previous world will also be compensated in Gil for them. These characters will receive ten Golden Chocobo Feathers, which can be spent to acquire higher-level rewards like mounts. The double experience bonus will be present until hitting level 80. This should hasten players' progression through their initial classes and jobs significantly compared to standard gameplay.įinal Fantasy XIV players who transfer an existing character to the new worlds will receive a similar boon. Specifically, a double experience bonus will be in effect for new characters until they reach the level 80 cap.Īdditionally, new characters will receive ten Silver Chocobo Feathers, a premium currency that can be used to trade for mid-tier equipment to improve their stats.
