    When we saw the boss for the first time, we all was kinda speachless ("......", "whoaaaaa", "wow", "O.O" and so on). Then jokes about "diaper men" and his "cleric's sized toes" followed ^^

    I really want to go back there.

    Btw, isn't it easier now? we did it with lvl85-88 squad without any big problems. Few random deaths doesn't count as problem ;) I think that even old FC's solo mode's mobs was harder.

    Yeah new frosty is good and fun, bosses make you stay on your toes and awake.

    Exp is also damn good with the double exp weekends.

    :D FF Runs are SO much fun, I completed it last night and went from about 3% to 18% in ~3-4 hours. The bosses are great and super fun, I solo healed the whole thing, we managed to easily get through with just two deaths, on two separate occasions, one where a BM got decimated by random aggro boss during a lag spike, and at a later Debuff boss and aggro was being tossed around between our 9x archer and 8x barb, my lvl 8 purify wasn't fast enough as the boss double debuffs, i.e. even if you purify, debuff is back up and you must keep him alive while you wait on coolddown. The Barb died but he was back up and buffed immediately and we continued.
    <3 of the Run = 1 shot mobs that give 1500 exp per :) we got something like 47.

    Our Party was:
    Me - Cleric - 81
    Axe BM - 82
    Pole/Axe BM - 82
    Barb - 81
    Archer - 92

    This party made it an EASY run, and remember guys Items actually DROP here, yesterday we obtained FF85 Green LA leggings and Green Polearm( The ~+11 Vit and +160 some hp polearm)

    Needless to say this is lucky, but the experience and the fun you will have is TOTALLY worth it!
    EDIT: This was NOT on double Exp weekend. I am so pumped for next weekend.....

    Another Note: If you are not an LA cleric...and/or don't have high channeling(-27)/hp(3.5k unbuffed) and a HIGH level of Chromatic Heal...do NOT TRY this. Seriously hahah I know 85+ Clerics who die on the 3rd or 4th boss.
    You can almost never BB as mobility is a huge issue, you NEED the sparked chromatic heals, at least lvl 7 to save your party when the bosses do 75% of their HP in one aoe shot.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    I know this is geared for 8x players, but at 76 (maybe at level 75 can't remember) you get some FC quests. Most people I knew before used to just trash them. Is it possibly now for a squad of 7xs to do those quests? Or more possible for a 7x or 2 to hang out with some 8xs on a run. Would it be worth doing now or should I still trash those quests?

    I attempted a Frost run last night...got through 4 bosses before I was too tired to continue...

    2 Clerics 82, 87
    Archer 82 (I think)
    Barb 78
    2 BM 72 and 88...

    Fun but very difficult.

    My party and I did it the day of the maintenance (we were curious) and it must say it was fun..

    Though if bosses would drop a little bit more coins at least that would be wonderfull

    I wouldn't say very difficult...only if you don't know what to expect. Get the clerics to Bring a rez scroll each, and it is also beneficial to have someone in the PT who has done it before and can tell you what to expect.
    TBH the mobs are easy, the bosses are easy if you know what to do and fun because you don't just stand there and use the same skills over and over, you have to move, everyone just has to pay attention. I haven't died in FF since I first went at 78 and mobs spawned after the Boss that has summoners, because I didn't realize that those blue nine-tail mobs spawned on that side of the room.
    With one good cleric it is possible to do this very easily, and the EXP reward is significant.

    Oh, and I was the only person in my squad with an HP charm. Barb, BMs and Archer were not charmed whatsoever, I use event MP pots and it did use a lot but whoever says this is a Heiro **** just doesn't play with good enough players...

    Most important part...developing strategies. This was the first time I had squadded with these folks, and the first time in FF since the re-vamp.

    This was fun, I agree, but I don't think it will maintain it's enjoyability. I actually don't even care to go back, it was fun to do it once though. The bosses are very similar to WoW, repetitive things you have to do to avoid instant-death, constant debuffs, and aoe's all over. I've been exposed to a lot of that so it was nothing new for me. If you have not played WoW extensively this will be new, and very fun, and difficult. But...I do give credit to the developers for finally coming up with a boss that does not entail "stand still, start your macro of repeating ironheart, go afk and come back in 10 minutes"

    I highly recommend doing this as soon as you all level up so you're all near 0%, bank all your dolls, and do this blindly without a guide. If you have a guide you will probably not die at all, but it will also not be as fun. This is probably your one and only chance to have actual fun pve'ing in this game. Figure it out on your own, you'll actually feel like you accomplished something instead of the usual feeling of bosses. "That was it....?? Lame"

    For anyone bummed about the lack of mat drops for [creating] FF gear (armors, weapons, or ornaments), submit a suggestion ticket to re-implement a Frost mode with mat drops.

    With Solo removed entirely, the source for curvades (essence & fragment) are also gone, making gear manufacture impossible.

    Personally I had a blast on our Frost run. We laughed over our deaths because we had no idea what any of the bosses were going to hit us with. As a cleric I would definitly suggest going in with maxed purify and a macro for regular buffs.

    Can't wait to run again!!!

    I had an awesome time! The most enjoyable instance i think I have played yet.
    I went with,
    91 and 70 BM, 89 and 93 WF and another 71 EP. Some ppl died a few times, but it was a challenge and exciting not knowing what was coming next (some attacks I have never ever seen b4). I think vent is a must so u can coordinate attacks.... and laugh at eachother.

    PS i use event mp pots and didn't use that many. ~4 hour run (be faster next time when we know where to go and what we are doing)

    I'd face the very depths of heII if you're healing my squad again. b:laugh

    We did have fun, especially when everyone's scattering to avoid whatever AOE the bosses were throwing our way.

    but its kinda true cause all old frost quests are useless/deleted from game also only squad mode available need lvl85+ person to be squad leader to open door =)

    There is no longer a single mode available for Frostcovered City. As squad mode is now the only option available, the quest that formerly activated it is no longer necessary and has been removed from the game. Instead, completing the Wind and Snow quest will now grant you access to new Frostcovered City quests from the Frost Recluse and Frost Adventurer NPCs.
