2nd Phase Upgrades!
This phase was made by a demon…
2nd Phase Sidequest Requirements
You will need to do a few sidequests which are located in Gangos and they ’ re locked behind Resistance Rank 10 .
fortunately the quests themselves aren ’ thymine so bad, one of them is a humble rather light example fight to then unlock Delubrum Reginae, a 24 homo Bozjan duty. You will need to complete Delubrum Reginae to progress, so expect to return here a set .
You besides need to do the Main Scenario Quest Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty.
There ’ s only 3 side quests to do but there is another weekly sidequest I recommend picking up if you want some free goodies called One Man ’ s Relic .
It will give you 3x 
Bozjan Gold Coins which are traded for the new Law ’ second Order armor sets .
The 1st Step Of Upgrading: Change of Arms
This step is preferably straightforward, you must obtain 15x 
Loathsome Memory of the Dying. You can obtain these only in three ways presently :
The independent means to get these is the Crystal Tower Alliance Raids (synced) :
Another chief manner to get them guaranteed is each meter you complete Castrum Lacus Litore, it will drop x5 each net !
And last, they besides can drop from critical Engagements, though at a preferably broken drop rate ( 10 % or around 1 in 10, might be lower ? )
The fast and coherent way to farm these Loathsome Memories is through Syrcus loom, or now clearing Castrum Lacus Litore is another bang-up way to farm them, the harder separate is getting into Castrum in the first place but you can farm Bozja skirmishes getting the phase one upgrade and potentially more nauseating Memories in critical Engagements : d
A Sidequest Required To Do Just ONCE: The Resistance Remembers
This quest is not adenine bad as it use to be, but at least it ’ randomness precisely one time : five hundred
This region requires :
This phase haunts and vexes me even after completing it…
There are only two ways to get these memories :
For the Haunting memories they are guarantee drops in the Dun Scaith Alliance Raids ( synced ) at 3 per run ( up from 1 ), or fates in Gyr Abania at an improved casual as of Patch 5.58 ( previously 25 % ) .
For the Vexatious memories they are guarantee drops in the Return to Ivalice Alliance Raids ( synced ) at 3 per play ( up from 1 ), or fates in the Far East region at an improved find as of Patch 5.58 ( previously 25 % ) .
Ways To Farm Haunting And Vexatious Memories
Haunting Memories
- The Void Ark, faster queues and clears & consistent (around 16-20 minutes I’ve seen)
- The Weeping City of Mhach, can be quick but inconsistent, not as many people know the raid
- Dun Scaith, can also be fast but expect people to not know the raid here too
- Gyr Abania Region fates, just pick whichever you enjoy it’s all deserts anyway!
Vexatious Memories
- The Royal City of Rabanastre, by far the fastest at around 20 minutes clear times.
- The Ridorana Lighthouse (Clockwork City of Goug), although a fun dungeon, can be a bit slower than the other raids. Also I’m still looking at YOU, person who doesn’t know prime numbers.
- The Orbonne Monastery, surprisingly not as slow as it used to be, only takes around 20 to 30 minutes now and seems like most people know the mechanics in there now.
- Far East Region fates, Azim Steppe is a nice place to farm both for population, faster, and amount of fates that spawn.
Some tips on fates : Try to party up and go to the like fates as any other people in the area, remember you can always talk to each early and coordinate, it ’ s an MMO .
Tips for the Alliance raids : Although Void Ark + Rabanastre is the fastest, try to mix things up be it doing fates or the other alliance raids .
As of Patch 5.58 this tone is now well immediate. drop rates for Fates will be investigated .
The Second Step Of Upgrading: A New Path of Resistance
This prison term you will be farming 15x 
Timeworn Artifact, which isn ’ deoxythymidine monophosphate a bad as the previous sidequest but still another step to upgrade your relics .
There are two ways to get these and they ’ re both not sol bad but still rather long .
- Delebrum Reginae (3x guaranteed)
- Palace of the Dead (RNG drop)
Which one to do ? Depends on what you ’ re after so I ’ ll keep it abruptly and simple :
- Delubrum is now the fastest method as of Patch 5.57 with 3x Timeworn Artifacts per clear
- Palace of the Dead is decent, if you’re going to run to floor 200, and also if you’re levelling up jobs
PoTD has different drop rates overall as they increase the far in you get, 151+ being 100 % drop rate per ten floors, but overall PoTD is a moment slower specially without a dedicated party. ( Numbers below F150 not 100 % accurate )
- Floors 1-60, ~10-20%
- Floors 61-100 ~30%
- Floors 101-150, ~80%
- Floors 151-200, 100%
For PotD it is once per 10 floors and on any 10 floors, e.g. 1-10, 51-60, 91-100, etc .
DR or PoTD ? Honestly, Palace in the early floors can be excessively treacherous and as of Patch 5.57 is much slower than fair running Delubrum Reginae. The chief meter you ’ ll wish to do it through this method is if you ’ ra planning on running to floor 200, however, in that scenario the artifacts are a bonus reinforce.
Delubrum is not only guaranteed to get 3 Timeworn Artifacts from a clear, you can besides late on farm 
Raw Emotions for the final examination step, letting you farm two keepsake steps at the same time .
If your goal is to finish this mistreat american samoa fast as possible, go for Delubrum Reginae, and please use Essences and Lost Actions that will help support your DPS, the firm you burn the bosses the fast you get these relics ! A well run can now be under 15 minutes .
once you have gotten your 15 banal Artifacts return to Gangos, it ’ second clock time to get your bright raw aglitter weapon !
