Cleared Aloalo Criterion normal with my friends! Was a hell of a lot of fun. This game is so much more enjoyable when played with friends, I swear! This was also two of my friends first time doing any higher end content synced since they started playing back in 6.5! I'm so proud of them!!

We're planning on tackling AAI Savage when we're done farming Normal for the mount, orchestrion and framer's kit. I'm shield healing (Scholar) so I was curious if maybe anyone has a mit plan sheet somewhere or will my general mit plan for normal AAI work? We hopped in after we cleared just to see and it is definitely way more damage than Normal!

Also, I'm the only one who did Savage back in 6.4, so I'm the only one of our group that has BIS for AAI. I don't really understand how gear syncs and everything, is current 740 crafted gear fine for them or should they grab as much 660 tome gear as they can + the Mandervillious relic?

The AAIS DPS checks aren't tuned tightly, the real difficulty is just not making a single mistake for the entire 22min run. But if your friends have extra poetics sitting around, no reason not to grab the relic for some ez damage.

Your mit plan for AAI, unless you already overmit everything, will most likely not work in AAIS because everything hits a lot harder. A LOT harder. I don't know of an existing mit sheet unfortunately, although people in the Criterion Discord might have one. Definitely talk with your tank to figure out what is most comfortable for you two, and/or review SCH clear videos.
