Queue times for PVP and POTD is stupidly long.

I waited 90 mins for each of them respectively and none even popped. Getting really tired, I just want to get my sword and armor glamour. If there was a decent que time, I would have gotten it like within 2 hours. ffs

it depends on what time of day you do them, especially POTD. if you are relying on random groups it is better to wait for around midday server time

Well PvP isn't really that big here so I wouldn't expect it to be easy to do.

Not sure about POTD since all my combat classes are 70+

Long queues for mainly dead content, who'd have thought.

If you only want glamours then get to 51-60 solo and keep spamming those floors since they're the only ones with players.
Although I never played PVP so I can't help you with that. Good luck.

pvp times are bad, and the lower floors on potd is really low on any server. idk why you would put yourself through that hell for a glamour. Which one are you even wanting? If it's Replica stuff it's probably on the market board for fairly cheap.

Also, matched party is for grinding, fixed is for glamour hunting, chest, anything that isn't about the grind. So go find friends and just do fixed.

PvP is dead outside of Frontlines during peak server hours. For a while during the Moogle Tome event Hidden Gorge would pop regularly during peak hours, but nobody is doing it anymore except for the Rival Wings Discord during certain days/times. Usually, Friday & Saturday for about 4 hours only I think starting about 8PM (EST)? PoTD is dead unless you're spamming floors 51-60 as those are the floors everyone spams to level up to 60.

For leveling in potd, 51-60 is where its at. You just spam that.

Pvp, garo is gone and there’s nothing that replaced it so its kinda pointless. Great as a minigame though.

There is the Construct VII mount from the new Frontlines map and the two Avenger Gorilla mounts from Rival Wings. All of them require 100 wins though. Took me a month of Frontline spamming for the Construct VII mount and two weeks of Hidden Gorge spam for both Gorilla mounts.

Queue floors 51-60 over and over again in POTD. That's what 90% of players do.

unless they can't get to 51-60. At which point just grab some friends and do fixed party. Regardless queues shouldn't take you any longer than 20 minutes. Just watch youtube until it pops.
