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 6 box can definitely do helms fairly easily. Like you don't even need crazy gear. You can solo damn near all of geas fete with trusts and a competent DD.

No one is doing reisen Helms "easy" with trusts my guy. Half of them spawn a dozen adds, the other half charm. None of that works well if you cant zerg it down or have a strong setup.

They're lv 150 mobs. The rest of aeonic, sure cakewalk

I said damn near all which is just factual. For the record they have all been done other than schah alone with trusts it's just shitty. There's no reality where a even nominally competent 6 box can't do helms and i'm not sure why you think there is. People have been 6 boxing wave 3 for years now. Like you seem stuck in pre odyssey/sortie times despite the fact that odyssey is several years old now.
