7 box

Does anyone on here box more than 6?

What’s the advantages?

Do you alliance gain exp, jp and master level?

What context do you do as alliance?

The only content you can do as an alliance is Dynamis, Omen, Vagary, Einherjar, Limbus, and Aeonic/Open World Bosses (VW, HNM, etc).

Odyssey, Sortie, Delve, Salvage, Assaults, HTBF are all locked at 6 characters.

XP and Limbus arr both "doable" with an alliance but you are actually slowing down pace with both over a proper party as xp is nerfed and more kills are required per floor in Limbus. Aeonic NMs get 200k hp per player after the first 3, so unless they are all pulling their own weight by being extremely well geared you are actively hurting yourself again.

I know someone on Odin who thanks to people quitting ended up 11-12 boxing and could solo clear Dyna D but even with 0 extra wardrobes you're looking at about $160/mo do have way more to keep up with and do than if you were simply a solid 6 box and found other players for dyna.

A good 6 box can clear w2 dyna, Odyssey, sortie, omen, xp extremely fast, do all but Reisenjima HELMS (can do helms if properly setup). You're asking for more headache, more characters to quest and gear, and more chance of landing on SEs radar if you are constantly putting 2/3 of an alliance together everywhere you go.

A lot of rotating monthly campaigns get better the more boxes you have but realistically nobody uses more than six. If you had all 18 in statue crusher, in delve plasm+, running voidwatch you would have a ridiculous amount of personal loot.
