Gibson.4036 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) I just got interested in doing the Luminescent collection. Checked LFG in the evenings several times this weekend and didn’t see RIBA squads. Outposts were 2/4 and few people about when I was in zone doing the story mastery. Have people moved on to Gyala? Or did I just have bad timing this weekend? Edited March 20, 2023 by Gibson.4036 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Have not tried it since Gyala. And I usually do not check for "RIBA" in lfg since I am not a farmer. But non-professinal (non optimized) play usually seemed to happen still a lot there. Last time I checked. At least with the meta moving towards the last boss often ... that also gets killed then. Afaik you do not really need to upgrade the outposts to max. Or not even to hold all of them. Have not really figured out the logics there ... but the bar until the breach happens ... seems to slowly fill independently of that. Making it possible to get the bosses to show - to father stuff from them. Edited March 20, 2023 by Luthan.5236 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyHougen.9120 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I still see it and join it in groups sometimes because it is the most accessible way of farming gold, and it's a decent way to farm it too. Sometimes I drop in and get crafting mats along with good things to salvage and sell. I think it depends on the server and the time most people are on, so check when it gets busier, although I did join a group one time around noon PST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Monday-Friday (EU). There is almost always at least one RIBA squad up around late afternoon and early evening. Late evening, 8 pm and later, 1-2 organized squads. LFG => Central Tyria Squads. Cool thing about the groups is, they became really relaxed and very efficient over the years. The power-creep can be a little problem, as the legendary bosses melt quickly. But the community on these maps is quite helpful from my experience. People tell in squad, when a legendary spawns. Just from the mood and farming perspective, this is probably the least-stressful method that exists. And you are free to run at your own pace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely one of the chillest farms in my past experience. Since Gyala is so straight forward and repeatable, too, I thought it might be the reason I didn't see any adverts in LFG for RIBA. I'm on NA. I'll keep looking. Might have just been the times I checked. Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on NA too and this group is always going. Sometimes, when the squad is full they drop off the LFG tool. But generally, there is always a group running. It's just a matter of getting to that particular squad/map. RIBA is one of the easiest ways to get 5 mastery points for newer players and for getting large amounts of XP/Spirit shards.

Gibson.4036 Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 So I have been seeing groups up now I'm checking on weekdays. Even in the middle of the morning, NA. Thanks. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) RIBA is still happening 24/7, its just that sometimes the squad disappears from LFG because of people merge trolling. Its not uncommon to get 2-3 mergers just in a few hours of doing Silverwastes, for example when someone doesn't manage to get into Auric Basin or Tangled Depths meta they'll often merge the squad with RIBA to mess it up for those who did. It also automatically disappears if the squad fills up, and doesn't get relisted. You're never going to see RIBA disappear as its the easiest source of Obsidian Shards for legendaries that doesn't require spending massive amounts of karma.
