Well, I think it would be a good idea if everyone was around lvl 40+ even for Boat 1. It is possible to run the GM with any lvl but it would be more useful to be familiar with the party members before. The bosses tend to be very fast, but I think Palalas should work. I'm pretty sure people are running them, because the tickets are steadily selling in the market.

Boats 1 and 2 have the requirement of level 40+ for their gauntlets. Ainle, I'm not sure, but Boat 4 is 50 and Boat 5 is 60.

I've had characters in the lvl 30+ host boats for Boat 1.
Boat 1: Lvl 30+
Boat 2: Lvl 40+
Boat 3: Lvl 50+
Boat 4: Lvl 60+
This should be correct according to the what I've heard so far on the forums and in game.

I'm looking at the number by each of the gauntlets.
Turns out Vindictus DB has a list.

The host needs to be lvl 60 to initiate the battle quest, according to the source.

From checking in-game:
Boat 1 is 32
Boat 2 is 40
Boat 3 is 50
Boat 4 is...saying it doesn't exist (despite me holding a ticket for it)

Maybe it's just bad luck then, I'll try running some more tomorrow. Any other Gauntlet tips?

Assist spamming is probably a dirty trick you can use to get things done quickly.
Outside of that, have good gear and hope for the best. Having a good Evie will help if you party dies a lot since evies can have 'unlimited res'.
Ideally, and if all the players were skilled I would like to have at least one evie, and fiona.
I like my boat 1's to have at least 45's or so,
Boat 2's really need mid 50's unless you got some really skilled players.
I haven't tried boat 3 and I do think i'll be doing it anytime soon. A vengeful BL... Hell speedy.. that'll be a nightmare.

Just tried my first Gauntlet run today, was kind of a disaster :( We got as far as the 2 Werewolf bosses, then they creamed us (especially because we had a 37 Lann who kept on dying)
Is there a minimum recommended level or something? And what kind of secondary weapons work best in Gauntlets? I took Spears just to be on a safe side, but it looks like Palalas might have worked better.
I also didn't see many Gauntlet runs being offered in about 2-3 hours of being online. (from around 8-11 EST) Is this normal? I checked all the boats, and besides the one I did, there was only one other which launched without me.
Looks like it might be hard to get ANY title at all at this rate...
For Boat 1 runs, I recommend having party member that are 47+ for decent timed runs. 50+ for smoother runs. But once again it depends on player skills.
That being said, i like hosting private runs with guild mates that I know are skilled. Makes life so much easier. :)
So to answer your questions, it is rare to see gauntlet boats being hosted, but best way to do gauntlet runs is with guild mates. Regarding secondary weapons, palala is good enough to finish Black Breeze. You shouldn't really need secondary weapons for the other bosses...

I guess I need a good guild then, public parties aren't really doing it for me. Ummm...any guilds to recommend? :) (But I guess that's another topic...)
Back on topic though, I think I'll have to give up on the event NX, I haven't even completed a single Gauntlet to date, let alone gotten a title...
