Hi folks,
Search isn't working for me, so I apologize for this somewhat useless thread. I'm trying to spin up a new character quickly.

Does anyone know what is the minimum mission completion needed to beat RoV completely (3-31, I believe)?

I only went up to the point where you can get dark matter;

During all that you have to spend imprim's and recommend do the 3 quest cycle with 2 wings > Velkk > ooze

Wotg in the name of father
Toau royal puopetry
Nation: shadowlord completed
Zilart after you beat tonberries
Cop: when you flag the road forks
Edit: SoA behind sluice gate
Edit2: its sugested you actually do the bare minimum requirement asprogressing further can end locking your progress

Ive been doing this for mule for some reason, aside what well explained Eiryl above, here are some tips i noticed that can save some trip:

1. Have all teleport crystals, and some mule with tele spells, as you will need to visit all 3 for CoP, plus several cutscenes need you to check shattered stuff.

2. Flag VW as soon as possible then collect the stratum abyssites for all zones (3 nations, tavnazia when you first visit there, khazam when you first go there, and aht urhgan) as it really helps for visiting place you never went. Obviously same is valid for.unity warps.

3. Use and abuse VW teleport to visit past zones from jeunos areas (by talking to atmacite refineer near jeuno gates) then teleporting to past nations, saving entire trip.

4. Small tip, to cut some trip to beat shadowlord, grab a shadowlord shirt, zone in keep then use it to bypass entire zone and get to ore door and HP.

EDIT: 5. Have a main char to grab a delkfutt key, then send it to mule (suposing its a same account mule). Then you can go straight to basement and bypass climbing entire tower for the ki. If its a new account, maybe check if you can tractor it

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Do the mount quest as soon as possible. Its the most mandatory a non mandatory requisite can be

Also, grab the Nexus and abuse it daily for those pain in the *** zones like Jugner [S]. Survival guides are your friend.

Could try one of those FFXI Speed Run.

WOTG was what nearly killed me because it took so long.

Maybe in terms of complete storyline, but the part relative to RoV only isnt that big. Its 2 sets of nations quests, few cutscenes and 2 relatively long trips: one that can be skipped by using VW teleport (from jeuno zones to cities) then the trip to La Vaule, having to cross vunkerl to reach western part of Jugner. Also all of those can be done with mounts.

So far, the most long part is SoA. Long zones, reives and quests to get the survival skills plus ***zones like Cirdas and Yorcia certainly aside its being surely the furtherst mission to continue RoV (more missions, more work on those missions amd finally time gate)

We need to be grateful SE allowed us to skip zilart mission headstone pillgrimage, or skipping the road forks, or skipping having any mission to go through caedarva mire or arrapagp reef, etc

Am I missing something here? I took 2 mules through RoV 3-1 this past week since the DM campaign was announced for next month, and it required 0 completion in SoA.

Afaik, progression *through* Rhapsodies chapter 3 requires progress through SoA, but you only need to be ON chap 3-1 and talk to the gobbie inside Reisen to unlock Oseem.

In other words, 0 imps need to be acquired to do DM augs. The mission progression I did was this:

1) Rank 6 in home nation (shadowlord bc)
2) Zilart - Complete mission 4 (tonberry bc)
3) CoP - Complete mission 3-2 (cutscene)
4) ToAU - Complete mission 11 (cutscene)
5) WotG - Complete mission 7 (dragon bc)



Edit: It appears that I missed the OP saying he wanted to go through 3-31 in RoV. My mistake!
