Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Tsingtao]

Thats my view as well, it could be an outstanding victory or if things go west a total wipe in seconds. I hope for the big win and then to get the party moving on thorugh ZM5 on the evenings over the next 2 weeks. This will hopefully get us onto or maybe even past ZM6 by Christmas.

I now have my holidays booked so I have 2 weeks off starting from the 23rd and I'd very much like to have Sky by the end of that lot. A lot depends on others mind, thats the key to me to try to keep the core together on this.

Thought I'd jump on board the Xbox 360 train. Yes, the day's mission was a success and I obtained a PP + PDZ:LE and Kameo for a bargainous ?279 - probably the best deal going in the country I reckon lol (also had a wireless pad charger but I don't really value that as highly)

If anyone wants to hear my "exciting" tale, check out my post history.

[Tsingtao]

Kerushi we have everything, 5 lanterns I think and at least 2 paintbrushes. All we have to do is erase hate and get there, I suggest we all get our gold Beastcoins in advance to avoid dissapointment. Need 3 I think to get the key to erasae hate...

Moot > all of us

[Kerushi]

i see ... Lewis wants to come along too ... since i have already done ZM4 Lewis can take my place during the BCNM ill help get the gate open for you guys

[Tsingtao]

Ok is it going to be safe to go in with just one tank, thats my only question. If I die will Tobal or Lewis be able to tank the NMs the answer needs to be yes on this one. We all know how dangerous this BC is and it was structured with a support tank in mind.

[Tsingtao]

Well what can I say a near flawless run on ZM4, the BC was obliterated and apart from one near wipe on the way in the Den of Rancor everything else went to plan. So that leaves Mosley, Talizker, Darwock and I one step closer to sky and owing a big thanks to Kerushi and Tobal for helping out.

Next for us will be the ZM5 NMs, watch this space and the LS Message for the next scheduled run. Everyone feel free to get the soloable headstones as and when you can, the idea with the NM spawnign ones will be to do one or 2 per night over the next 2 weeks for a crack at ZM6 the weekend before Chirstmas.

Let me know what you guys think, I know Christmas is in the post so planning these could be tough. This weekend is out for me as my brothers getting married so if I want to remain as part of the family I had better be there

Going to start sorting out an order for the NMs on ZM5 today, will try to group them so that all being well 2 in a night is doable.

[Darwock]

Surely my limited level is going to become a problem if it isn't one already? I'll try and get limit break 3 finished so I can press on. That said I have only ever found two of those headstones on my travels (I'd have expected to find more during the hunt for stone monuments) and I don't know if they spawn monsters or not, so I'll just have to take my chances I guess.

[talizker]

Really enjoyed last night - the victory was very pleasing! Would also like to thank Kerushi and Tobal for joining us as I was in the CS when they both logged off.

The level requirement for the rest of the Zilart missions is also of concern to me. I am (just!) level 60 with BLM sub at 30 and WHM at 21 so am unlikely to move on from 60 in the near future (although I am going for a decent buffer before any more missions!).

I should be available at any point in the coming weeks for the next stage(s) with only this friday out for me (going to see a-ha).

[Darwock]

Going.. to see... A-ha?

Give my regards to Morten Harket...

lol, will do ^^

Been a fan for years - never seen them live yet so really looking forward to it!

[Tsingtao]

Guys, I reckon that 60 will be fine at least to the end of ZM6 but I can understand you wanting to get some levels in as well. I need to do some xping as well, I'm down to just 3k into level 66 now when at one point it was 11k before some of my recent adventures! As well as that its time I finished my sub off to 40, it's 34 right now, so I can get a nice clear run to 75.

Have to plan it out I can probably level to 68 without to much hassle without Sky after that it may get harder.

[Tsingtao]

In other news was just looking through maps, my own personal obsession and even more so since finding I didn't have the Den of Rancor map last night. Here's a list of th maps I think I'm missing any (not including CoP and ZM areas I can't get to):

Den of Rancor
Ifrit's Cauldron
Labyrinth of Onzozo
Newton Movalpolis
Promyvion-Holla
Promyvion-Dem
Promyvion-Mea
Phomiuna Aquaducts
Uleguerand Range
Pso'Xja

Anyone else need any of this lot and fancy burning some time obtaining them?

May be an excuse to combine skill up with some other focus, I need to get staff from 145 to 225 and shield from 215 - 225 as well as a bunch of others.

Anyone else got anything on their wish lists to do?

[Darwock]

i need all those maps and many more, but I probably don't have the time to burn on it what with all the other things I'm falling behind on.

First thing that pops into my head is the various NM quests I have logged.. I've had my warp-reflexes tested by various monsters in Jugner, Sea Serpent's Grotto and Misareaux coast so far. It would appear that many of these fights require a team effort.

[Tobal]

Went much better than my Zm4(only 2 survived the battle, me and the Dark/Nin), apart from the outside bit?

For Zm5 I suggest you try 1 per night for the hard ones, Ifrit Cauldron isn?t fun, I?ll help for most them but I?m staying clear of that one.

Now on to money making, with apa away for while it puts Bcnm60/ENM70 on hold, so is anyone up for Bcnm60? If not those that do Bcnm20?s need help I?ll be happy to join as a lvl20 Nin, need to start making money(need to make about 2.5m) and im not the best farmer in the world my plan for the next month farm 1 stack of bstblood a day and then Skillup Fishing for 4 stacks worth of bait (done well with that so far 27 to 29.2 over the weekend)
