Think some people were pushing for a little earlier but I asked them to hang on if they could (I won't be on until 10 anyway)

Vanicent said he would be watching 24 also... If we are already to go at 10 it will be ok...Originally posted by DarwockComment

Just a couple of things regarding the Static 10+ What is the confirmed party line up (job wise). As I said, I would prefer to go as SAM/WAR. Will I be tanking and/or pulling - want to know what kind of quantity of arrows to bring.
Also, Tuesday night - its likely that I won't be on until 9.30pm - 10pm. What I can do is goto Valkurm tonight if that is where we are starting so we can start as soon as I log in...
Finally, thanks to everyone involved in last night's Promyvion - Dem run

I've just remembered something, and realised I may not be showing the same level of commitment to this level 10 thing as others... I want to do it as something for a laugh with the linkshell.. but whereas some people are taking along jobs they want to advance and have a vested interest in, I don't really give a stuff about white mage.
What I'm trying to say here is that I hadn't intended to buy any new equipment for it - my black mage/red mage/summoner gear was what i was going to use - I don't have any space for another set (had to complete gobbiebag quests just to get room for main job equipment!).
Unfortunately this also means wearing a Lord's Yukata and no trousers until level 15 - hey, it got me to 10! (at 15 I can wear my Kingdom tunic/slops). But I can see me turning up in that at Valkurm and getting laughed off the beach.
Should I sort my inventory out and buy new gear or make way for someone else? Or is this dodgy equipment tolerable?Last edited by Darwock; 21-02-2005, 08:29.Comment

Hmmm looks like S-E are slightly worried about World of Warcraft.
Instanced dungeions by the sound of it.Comment

Hopefully you won't need too much in the way of good armour/clothes as WHM although of course MND gear is important...Originally posted by Darwock
You can borrow any of my MND gear that is suitable for 10-20 if you want.Comment

From that very brief description - it sounds like it's going to totally unbalance the levelling up mechanics! No xp lost if you lose, but masses of xp if you win??? Repeat until level 75.
My summoners wand has mind + 2 I think, that's probably the only boost I have for that stat right now.Comment

I?ll admit I was a bit confused regarding it as well. However, firstly the description is rather vague, we need more details to fully decide if this leads to the EXP trail being ?broken?. I would envisage that restrictions will be in place. Take Eco-Warrior as an example. At it?s simplest that would seem like an easy way to forego EXP parties. However, in reality you are limited to participating in one a week.
I?m not saying that ENM will have the same restriction but there is a chance S-E will limit how ENM operates.
Also, I think this may somehow tie in to the recent talk of a level 10 group on the LS. The reason this has been organised is because, at the moment the current EXP system makes it difficult for people to get EXP together unless they are within a a few levels of each other. This could it make it possible for the higher LS members to work with the lower ones and still everyone comes out with a nice EXP boost as well.
I?m really hopeful about this.
Anyway, this week is update week (presumably Wednesday or Thursday) so all will be revealed then. I absolutely
reading through update notes 
Finally, I know some LS people (notably the ?higher? level ones) have been feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do of late, so maybe we, as a LS, can attempt to become pioneers of these ENM. If we get a strategy down and are able to become successful relatively quickly we have the opportunity to benefit immensely.
The announcement makes mention of ?unique items?. If we can obtain these early, and stick them on the AH when there isn?t a ready supply we could cash in quite handsomely. However, to do this we have to be ready as soon as possible after the update (i.e. next weekend).
I?m up for it (level cap willing). I have gear for 40, 50 and 60 caps (not 30).
EDIT - Update is Wednesday. Shamelessly stolen from AK

Wow, looks like a good update! New abilities, hange to fishing, the shield changes.. I'm excited.
Concerning the level 10 thing >< forgot that I've got something planned that will take up the whole of tuesday evening, so it looks like we're moving to wednesday at the earliest.
Awesome promy run yesterday, Thanks to all who participated.
Rare that sounds good to me, I've only got lv 30 PLD/war and lv 60 gear atm.Comment

Good weekend for me, got Drk to lvl 29, done the saura mog champagne clay.
Saturday afternoon was an awsome ballista match, lost 102 to 100, it was so close.
Rare, that sounds like a good idea, although need to know more about the battles.Comment
-
Well Wedge, that does kind of defeat he idea of being ?pioneers?. If we do try and do this early, we will not know what to expect when we go in, but the good thing is there will be no EXP penalty should things go wrong.
From the sounds of it we have got nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain.
Of course, saying all this, all it takes is a lvl30 cap and I am out of this already >.<Comment
-
I love going into things where you don't know what to expect... I've just finished kitting out my level 40 blm to the max, and I still have all my 30 gear for the Promyvion missions.. so if any of these battles fit those caps then I'll gladly help in the pioneering!

I'm stuck with a level 30 cap (or lower) for the time being.
On another topic, I'll be keeping an ear open during this week for anyone in Bastok asking for Eco Warrior members. Would anyone else be interested in taking part in this?
I'll be doing this at all three cities over the next few weeks, as I want to get all three Eco War quests done with, so if anyone has one pending (regardless of location) I'll help out as long as I don't have one active already, which I don't right now.
EDIT: I know Wedge & Tal need to do Bastok's Eco War (which is why I'm heading there), and Mihki needs to do San d'Oria Eco War. I'll let either of you know when I hear a call for one.Last edited by Vanicent; 21-02-2005, 13:19.Comment

Bastok Eco Warrior {Yes Please}Originally posted by VanicentComment

Yes I'll go along for that as well. Be warned though, it is total hell. Removing the bogy's, ghouls and bandersnatches that impede your progress is even more of a nightmare than the fight itself (and it has to be done - think Promyvion but with no room to run past the seethers lol).
If it's Wednesday or Thursday then there's a small chance I'll be able to get my friend in on the action too.Comment
