OK, so I just went to Lower Jeuno to start the whole Moblin Maze thing that SE has been going on and on about. They give you basically NO customization from the start.. all I could customize was the music.. and even that has a piss poor selection. I get into the maze, and am told to clear the area of baddies. I go forward ten steps to see before me an army of skeletons ranging from DC to T at 75.. which really annoyed me, being BLM.. it is pretty much futile for me to sleep them, and Drain and Aspir don't work ever on them. I go to pull one, and find out that these aforementioned skeletons link. Hurray, a DC skeleton and a T skeleton on a lone BLM.. good times.. After my inevitable demise, I also find out that you do, in face, lose XP for dying inside the maze. So, all in all, I feel that this new feature is quite useless, overhyped, and a total waste of time and experience. A big F.U. to S.E. for coming up with this load of garbage. Piss on the Moblin Mazes!

I think its fun, as long as you go in with friends, Maybe go as a level 1? since the monsters are caped to your level?

Whent in with a few friends 4 ppl for my maze XD kinda got *** over, saplings everywhere, and then some sweeper clusters at the end, 2 mobs to winning an we run outa time XD

if you are board an have nothing to do, like me.

I mean even endless hours of campain battling, lagging out, and the hours of eating dirt for 2k exp Does get a little borring :D So this is a change of pace.

who knows SE might change it. alittle. Imo i think its a Mini Nyzul.. so practice for the real thing?

If you go alone , fail :) , First group to go in , get the win , crashed 10 min later. The whole idea is to bring your friends, clear the maze and earn points for more pieces of the maze, THEN you can customise it. the mobs vary a lot depending how you go in, we took range pt 64~75 and was pretty easy.

This is a multiplayer game, not a single player game.

You went in by yourself than went and whined to other people.

Try doing some content with other people and only whine to yourself.

as far as ive seen, Idk. . . maybe if you spend marbles on temp items when you enter.. but even then, you gota be skilled to kill like 20 monsters in 30 mins, that con. as Vt > t+ like.. pimped sam/dnc or mnk/dnc or dnc/nin, but even then, Maybe Dou

I had a hard time with my maze with 4 ppl, Drk War"me" Rdm & whm, ran outa time w/ 2 mobs left. *sleepga & saplings dont help >.<*

i guess it depends on mobs in the maze.

Me and Teh done 2 Mazes last night, we was unlucky to get Fire elementals in our first run, took us 30 mins to beat the first set of mobs, the next were flies btu we lost before we got to kill more than 2

The second run we done (with my maze) was easier, we had Hecteyes and Bomb clusters, and we was just pwning them wit Liquifaction SC (Holwing Fist > Asuran fists)

Got 500ish EXP and 15 Marbles
I was a 70MNK/DNC and Teh was 75MNK/DNC.

Personaly, i think that Solo jobs (DRG, BST, Maybe SMN etc) can solo them pretty well depending on what mons have spawned, if you can solo a EM-T mob out in the field then you should be able to solo a mob in the cave.

I think it's a great system. I have been in with quite a few of my friends and people from my ls an had a great time, The music selection to start off with is pretty lame, yes, but the default music there is awesome imo anyways ^^ As you move along and get marbles I would imagine that you get more music options and stuff, and eventually you can customize which kind of mobs you fight. I had a Rune 010 drop today which is Demons, so not brilliant to solo, but still atleast I can know what to expect lol. My first run we went in with a RDM, PLD and RDM and got undead mobs and pots, so brilliant one there, rather anti-BLMish aswell as fore mentioned lol, I haven't tried to solo anything in there as BLM, But when I went in with my party the second time I was BLM and we got DC Birds which i could 3 shot lol.

Best to just grind through the first few until you get more options and such to try solo'ing so you can know what to expect. I think SE did good atleast for now, eitherway this beats the stupid pokemon stadium they implemented xD

Well we went in brd whm blm sam thf
we kinnda capped haste, spell marchx2 and samba, thf/nin sirocco, sam soboro, so was a WSga.
we got 2 group of elementalts, and um... we like finished 10secx before end O.O

than we went in to try manaburn it since we just saw elementals (we thought that this was due to runes given at start) blmx2 cor rdm bard, and what we see first group?
Lizards...

we just kinnda inverted setups.

I think this thing has a lot of potential but you need tons of wins and so on marbles to get other runes and vouchers to be able ro customize it really well later. So woulndt say a bad word after 3 days...

I went with a group yesterday, and we did three runs. Our first run, we had to wipe out some bombs, then slimes. And the slimes did hit fairly hard. Second run was somewhat easier, we had ghosts and the cockatrices. Our third run we only had to face down birds and crawlers. So it appears the mobs are more or less random as to what you'll be fighting. And the Mazes are best enjoyed with a team, it's not meant to be a solo effort I believe.

From what I've been hearing, you can just level synch to your lowest party member's level, then unsynch and wail on the weak mobs (I personally would love to see a group of elementals screaming "WHYYYYYYYY~~~ Dx").

I haven't been able to participate in MMM yet as I'm stuck in WA for the holidays, but personally I'd either do that or go with a full party. You seem to get the full marble amount anyway. I'd just prefer synching with a single partner cause you'd get more runes that way. Unless you can never get more than one rune drop, in which case I'd just try to get a "your tabula, your rune drop" party going.

Hell, I'd join in on any incomplete party just for the marbles.

Really? I knew about the exp, but so far everyone's reported receiving a seemingly static 15 marbles.

I went in as a level 17 with a 75PLD escort and we got no EXP for winning, even though the EXP is kinda lolish anyway, but we got 15 Marbles regardless...Shh, don't tell SE or they will gimp it like everything else >.>'

Man I was so excited about this... and then my first time entering I go in on BLM75 solo and get 10 unsleepable Roc-type mobs... thanks SE for *** up my first impression! LOL ***

But, I do think it still seems like a fun distraction from other events. I'm also going to assume that it's tailored more towards lower level parties (theory based on the past few updates concerning low-level adventuring).

I guess tomorrow I'll probably try going in on a lower level melee type job... probably have better results tryin to solo it.

According to wiki it's the lowest level party member that decides the level of the mobs when your objective is to kill all mobs. So just go in with anyone fifteen levels or so below you and you should be fine. I doubt anything is soloable. I know of few jobs that can effectively solo 15 or more mobs in 30 minutes.

My first run I went 75 THF / 75 RDM. We got Slimes and Clusters. I didn't want to go anywhere near the Clusters so we escaped after killing a few slimes. Everything appeared to be within 1 or maybe 2 levels of 75.

I've enjoyed MMM for the most part. My groups have played around with the tricks before they shut down Lower Jeuno the first day. I usually go with random groups and we usually get it all completed, except Elementals at lv54 hasn't gone to well in our 4 man groups.

We've gotten an Elemental maze down to 4 ele's left and had to leave. But it's a good bonding experience, especially for potential sky or sea linkshell parties. You'd get a chance to see how well everyone plays their job.

Until you can personalize what type of mobs you fight, I wouldn't say its really aimed at being soloable, especially not towards BLM's apparently lol.

I don't know if this will die off like Pankration did. Just the idea of what pankration was made me think it was dumb so I never even bothered trying it, this however, seems to actually be fun and not totally stupid sounding for quite a few people.

There are Runes that you can obtain (either from the Hoardbox or buying for Marbles) that will allow you to (somewhat) affect what kinds of creatures will be in the maze. Also, Rune 020 makes the mobs weaker than they would normally be, so if you get one, count yourself lucky. It drops from a Hoardbox, so good luck getting one.

Yea I recieved the Rune 020 on my first run. Let me just say it's a great thing to have.

Using that rune, i've attempted it solo on my SAM/DNC, at lvl 54 and lvl 56. Both of which I did not complete, HOWEVER!, there is hope.

First time my mobs were hecteyes and golems. Had I been prepared to take paralyze off a lot, I could have won easily. 4 Hecteyes left when I ran out of time here. 12/20/08

Second time my mobs were Wivres and Bombs. Bombs I defeated in record time, easy as pie. The wivres on the other hand, were not so easy thank you granite skin. I had 2 Wivres left when I ran out of time. Best solo run to date. 12/21/08
