The bad targets tend to spawn in the same ‘sets’ at each checkpoint. The targets only last so long so you want to hit the older ones first. Another tip is to work on the targets from one side of the screen to another, You’ll move the mouse slightly less that way, and you can eliminate all of one wave before working on the next wave. It turns green when it’s hovering over a valid target. One fairly obvious and useful feature is the targeting reticle’s colour. It’s a fun game that takes a couple of minutes to play out and you can easily obtain the maximum score with a little practice. It’s a point and click shooting game where you destroy targets to earn points while avoiding other targets which will lose you points if you shoot them instead. This is the only solo instanced duty GATE. Air Force One (:00, :40) Max Reward: 4000 MGP Skill: Medium Luck: Low If you play a lot of platformers then this will be no trouble for you and you’ll make some easy MGP. It’s basically a jumping puzzle with a little more time pressure, but easier courses. Then you simply clear the gap with a big jump.
The way I solve things like this is by doing a full jump, walking back so you fall down one step, and doing a second jump to land on the highest step before the gap. However, doing a full jump twice would make you fall into the gap. There’s one particular course (different from the photo above) where your character can’t jump the full three steps before the gap in a set of stairs. You have until the time expires (10 minutes) to reach the goal at the top. If you get knocked off, you can simply speak to the client and try again. While you’re doing this, bombs will drop from above, which explode after a couple seconds and knock you away. You have to make your way up a short obstacle course, jumping between platforms, ascending staircases, and walking narrow ledges to reach the NPC on the highest platform. I guess it’s not that popular (it has no achievements associated with it specifically), but it is quick and not too hard. This is the rarest GATE since it only has one timeslot during which it can run. GATE Tips Cliffhanger (:00) Max Reward: 3000 MGP Skill: Medium Luck: Medium Get there early to give yourself time to walk and/or teleport to the GATE client. For the GATES in Event Square (“Any Way the Wind Blows” and “The Slice Is Right”) the entries are only open for about two minutes. If the previous GATE was “Cliffhanger”, “Leap of Faith”, or “Air Force One”, then you have to wait until entries close, at 10 minutes to the next GATE.īe warned that if you wait until the GATE spawns to even think about teleporting over to the Gold Saucer, you could miss it (I have done this an unfortunate amount of times because I never seem to learn my lesson). If you just finished a quick event like “Any Way the Wind Blows”, or “The Slice Is Right”, you can immediately ask a GATE Keeper and they’ll tell you what the next event is. In case you were wondering, yes it is possible for one GATE to occur in back to back timeslots. – Leap of Faith (The Falling City of Nym) – Leap of Faith (The Falling City of Nym) :40 (40 minutes past the hour) – Leap of Faith (The Fall of Belah’dia) :20 (20 minutes past the hour)
They’ll even teleport you to the square it’ll be held in. You can confirm with a GATE Keeper which specific GATE is coming up next as soon as the previous GATE is over. In each time slot there are three possible GATEs that can occur, but you don’t have to wait until it spawns to know what it’s going to be. Speak to a GATE Keeper NPC and they will teleport you to the location of the GATE Client. Hover over the icon in the minimap to see how much time is remaining on the event. If you’re in the Gold Saucer while a GATE is active, it will show on your minimap with an icon and directional indicator, much like a FATE will in the overworld. GATEs occur three times an hour: on the hour, 20 minutes past, and 40 minutes past. For most of them you and your friends can all participate alongside each other which can be a lot of fun. However, only one of the GATEs is an actual solo instanced duty. You compete as an individual against the ‘house’, and not against other players. They’re part of the weekly challenge log, so completing enough of them awards even more MGP and works towards some challenge log gil as well. Gold Saucer Active Time Events (GATEs) are fun minigames which allow you an opportunity to win a decent amount of MGP with a quick activity.
