The Stabbies represented a full party as they ventured into the new Diadem update as of patch 3.55b which landed this Thursday. Although several members had gone into the instance previously, and many continued to run after the official group disbanded, the Academy fronted a full party of 8 on two occasions this Monday evening after Treasure Maps Club.
Sukutak, who had the most experience, did an excellent job leading and navigating the mostly green group through the persistent 72-man instance. In the Diadem, FATEs must be completed simultaneously with assigned missions marked in red on the map. Your team must fly to the different areas and complete their missions and required FATEs as quickly as possible to gain access to the Boss Fates, which take place on the lower level of the diadem and provide the highest rewards.
Rewards included Brass Spoils, which may be traded for materia, crafting and gathering supplies, mounts and minions, and level 60 i265 Sunburst Gear. While random in it’s distrubution of roles and stats, the gear can be very useful for gearing up your character in a hurry – with a decent amount of luck, of course.
Please keep an eye on the Company Calendar if you’re interested in joining us on our next mission!
