spriggan are European map because it's the only server I could actually make a character on

Here's a suggestion: In the duty finder list, click on the options button in the iirc upper left corner. Find the language settings and turn them all on. Particularly Japanese. This lets you match up with people with those language settings, and while this does mean it'll be a lot harder to communicate when you get matched up with a group of J's, you still see a bunch of E's around too often enough, and your queue times will be *much much* smaller.

If you think the missions that require a group to do are bull wait for the shadowbringers forced AI groups you need to endure.

Just ask your FC/friends to run it unsynched with you :)

Not really sure what you mean by this. If you mean the trust system, it is by no means forced, you can still do the dungeon via duty finder if you so wish, the trust system simply lets you skip the queue if you so desire. They're also not terrible, they actually do mechanics do do ok-ish dps, just they won't aoe, so mass pulling is not an option for tanks, and running the dungeon in a party will always be faster.

[[IPD]Argh...]

Geez just do them after roulette reset and you be amazed how quick you get them. And I also learned one thing if wait times exceed 40 min. remove from the duty and que again.

Trust system is BS. You need to level them lol 2.5 mil xp per run fora 12.5 mil lvl up. 2-3 times as slow as doing a people dungeon.

The AI party members are synced to the dungeon while you're doing MSQ.
You only need to level them after you complete the Final battle.

And even then, it's 6 runs per level. Easily achievable if you level multiple classes. I've got Thancred pushing 74 and I'm not even done with Holminster.

Personally I have never once waited for longer than 30 minutes as DD during the whole MSQ.
Nontheless, as a reminder, you can change your class after you've joined the que and go on level another class or go fishing or do whatever else.

[arejang]

This is why I think you should level a tank or healer when going through the MSQ. Just get that nonsense out of the way. When you level an alt, then level a DPS character so you're never so beholden to the duty finder matching you up in a relatively reasonable amount of time just to progress in the story.

[Mandodo]

Party Finder like normal people in game do and get an unsync clear lol.

And btw, because of the rewards, I queue every day for MSQ roulette as a dps.

For me the average is 5 to 10 minutes.

Also don't forget to select all languages. The game does a fantastic job of auto translate so you wont see a bunch of French or japanese or whatever and I, out of 5+ years playing, have never had a language issue.

The game gives you options to get it done with one being what I consider a cheat.

I'll explain, my friend in IRL wanted to get the game, so he did. He progressed to the primal's and didnt want to queue, he wanted to play with us.

WELLLLLLLL, i'm damn sure not sitting through titan ex synced

So, I, as a level 60 at the time solo'ed it while he just stood around. Did the same for him for all the ARR primal's, mostly because he just let me have the mounts, if i needed it. At the time I think I only needed Levi Ex pony but I got all and Nightmare now........

Back on topic, just use party finder and put this, "New player looking to clear and meet cool people".

This will get you miles in the game.

If you think Howling Eye queue is bad just wait for Cape Westwind.

Not if you roll a tank/healer.
