Greetings, all you collectible-thirsty WoLs out there! It's another Moogle Tomestone season again, and you know what that means! ~~Time to run Syrcus Tower 50 more times!~~

While everyone has their preferred method of Moogle Tome acquisition, this is a reminder that now is the best time to get some Rival Wings in as well, and queues are popping every day.

You may be wondering, why Rival Wings when I can just semi-AFK my way through some level 50/60 raids? Well, Rival Wings allows you to kill several birds with one (tome)stone.

  • Rival Wings gets you a full 10 Tomestones for winning and 6 for losing, whereas all of the "easy" raids net you a flat 6.

  • As a PvP game mode, you will earn progress on Series Malmstones, win or lose.

  • You can make progress towards Rival Wings victory achievements for the unique mount rewards.

  • You can work on the GARO rewards as well!

Other reasons to choose Rival Wings over alternatives:

  • Unlike Frontlines where there are 3 teams, Rival Wings only has two, bringing your odds of winning much closer to 50% and making it more efficient for farming.

  • Rival Wings matches are relatively short (usually 10-15 mins, sometimes even less), making them very time efficient versus some of the later raids that can take >30 minutes even on a good run.

  • Not being part of a roulette, joining Rival Wings matches is much rarer when there is no Moogle Tomestone event ongoing.

  • It's FUN!

For more information, I highly recommend checking out the PvP Revival Discord, where you can see which data center for your region is popping that day.

Happy hunting!

Are you telling me there's more to life than spamming P1N?

Might actually do some RW for season progress tho, you're right about that part.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I usually spam normal raid roulette as tank just to pass the time and it started to dawn on me why I was mostly getting P1N. I might have to do RW to break up the monotony.
