Getting FFXI-3001 when I finally get to login
How long before you were able to log in again? I crashed during my run and getting the same message...

I presume so. You can drop them anywhere and they instantly come back, but I'd bet ya based on the pattern of the others you will have to do so right on the plate.

I myself had to wait like 30mins after Sortie was finished and the bad part is, You'll need to keep trying to login until it'll actually let you login. I had different "error" amounts on my alts, one I could login just after the run finished, one alt was 35mins after, the other 2 alts was something like 40mins+

This event and it's hidden objectives have crossed far beyond "fume this boss after five minutes to change aura", right into "completely absurd" territory. SE devs sitting back laughing while people do these weird tasks. This has to be an inside joke somewhere. I still don't see how the event name "Sortie" even remotely coveys the meaning behind this content.

I assume the term "sortie" is a localization issue. As far as I am aware our "metal" is closer to "amulet" or "talisman" in the original Japanese. Either term makes far more sense based on the context of what the item does.
I suppose the meaning of Sortie could be related to all of these tasks, in that you perform them in order to gain a better "strategic position" via access to metals and shards, keys etc, to eventually mount an attack against the boss. Even the term Gallimaufry is odd. I'm lost behind the meaning.
I don't think it's a localization issue tbh, it might just be a board game or something in Japan (like how Omen was based off of) and has some other hidden meaning beyond what we are seeing.

I am going to lose any muffins/items gained from this run, aren't I? Do I get KI back at least ; ;

Vagary objectives, ??? earring NQ/+1/+2 remind me of wailing stone wailing stone +1 wailing stone +2.
Unlike Skirmish, nq/+1/+2, they have been changed to be more static in their augments. not, pdt or mdt or both.
Incursion, just because idiotically massive map and you get box/+1's that you pop after ending the run.
Obviously the mobs were retooled to be higher iLv and the items themselves were made stronger than they would have if released during adoulin's prime.

So I know that people are still figuring out some of the objectives, but has anyone mapped out a decent objective/point farming run? What setup did you use? How many bosses can you manage to kill and how many total points? Anyone want to lay out their party or lowman/solo strategy?
i.e. Do all of A objectives + Boss, reset A monsters, repeat farming trash nets #### points solo.

I was able to solo section A on Mlvl 30 NIN/WAR following Logical's guide though I only had 3 minutes to spare. I got 2 sapphires, two earrings, and something like 3000 muffins. Trusts I used for Ghatjot was Joachim, Setheus, Koru-Moru, Apururu (UC), and Ferrous Coffin.

I feel like I've got a solid strat for all A objectives + boss, but still working on B and beyond.
For me A is:
The only wildcard really is if the obdella is up in an accessible area or not.
From there I'd go back to device and warp to B and start objectives there.
That is what I've done my last two runs, and this last time it took me ~12 minutes to do all of A
Edit: 12 minutes as a duo, with someone who had not done it before.
For me A is:
Go south, kill acuexes with magic damage for objectives
Kill Obdella if found
Warp to device A, self cast spell for objective
Warp back to start and kill acuexes for remaining objectives if necessary.
Open A-1 door for objective
Rest on platform for objective
Kill boss

I don't know about that, I have a sample size of 2 and he's been relatively simple both times with me only killing the acuexes in A1. I haven't done any SC on it at all, although second time I was pelting him with thunder nukes from my blm.
He did nothing remotely dangerous to me.
I was doing self light SC with Heishi and double magic bursting when I wasn't needing to recast utsusemi and migawari. Pretty sure light aligned SC are ok.
[+]
Just completed a run after fighting Ghadjot with relative ease, I was expecting a tougher fight but I just stuck to solo light SCs. My trust party consisted of ArkEV, Koru-Moru, Cornelia, Apururu and Ygnas. Towards the end of the fight I noticed it use Clobbering Wave multiple times in a row and it hit ArkEV for 0 damage every time.
Pre-fight I only killed 5 Acuex for the chest, the Obdella NM and moved to the boss afterwards.

Killing mobs within the area seems unrelated to the boss strength. We now kill as few as needed to get the pop items in all the areas and never see any difference in difficulty.
The only time we got dunked on by a boss was the only time we healed with skillchains (Fragmentation on Leshon 3x). We have killed them all at this point and just stick to a Savage Blade zerg.

In regards to the Biune Fire Elementals, no porxie was up so I nuked all 8 down via AoE, then rematerialized them. Porxie was up, so I tried the WS approach. First elemental was physical WS kill, nothing. Second was magical WS kill, nothing. Third was MB kill via Tenebral crush, then the coffer popped.
This probably makes it more convoluted than anything.

BG for Ghatjot says: "Absorbs Water damage, and can potentially triple it and add that damage taken to its next TP move"
But I think any darkness aligned element damage might make him rage.

I got to pop on the 3rd kill, which seems to go against the 5.

I think you might be right.
Fought Ghadjot last night, WAR NIN COR GEO WHM PLD. We took it down pretty quickly and were doing lots of incidental light SCs. Then we somehow did a Darkness SC near the end of the fight (under 10% mob HP), and shortly thereafter he used a TP move that flattened our PLD who was in no danger at any previous point in the fight. Still killed him with the rest of our team, and I'm not sure if any of that was just coincidence, but yeah.
[+]
yeah Water or Dark Dmg on him is bad.
Not sure if there is a reset, but I did a Thunder 4 on him right after and he wasnt oneshoting stuff anymore.
